Audrey-kitty

You know, when Audrey walks away from you with her tail raised high in the air she's so furry that it looks like she's wearing pantaloons. I think it's cute.

There's a kitty inside every cat

The kitties and I were watching Animal Planet --- Growing Up Lion. There were two little rescued lion cubs. One was about 6 weeks old (Annie) and the other one must have been two or three months old (Rex).

The vet came to visit and noticed that Rex had some kind of damage to his paw (I never could figure out what it was) so he wrapped it with some cotton then some pink stretchy wrapping stuff. Rex made an unhappy Rex noise that sounded VERY much like the unhappy Arnold noise. I thought it was very cute that a lion cub sounds exactly like a poohlet-kitty when unhappy.

Then little Annie got a bath. She loved it! She got all lathered up then rinsed then she snuggled into the towel to be dried then given a bottle. It was very cute.

The kitties and I enjoyed the show.

Kitties "help" make the bed

I washed kb's sheets and had to put them back on when they were clean.

First, though, the kitties had to investigate the unsheeted bed. They wandered all over it and sniffed it then plopped down right in the middle and fell asleep.

When the sheets were done everybody had to dash upstairs and see what I was going to do with the clean sheets. Arnold sat in the middle of the bed while I put on the mattress cover. He was very annoyed when I needed him to move. When that was done he sat down in the middle of the bed again. I put down the fitted sheet. I covered him right up! I fitted the bottom two corners then went to fit the upper corners. I kind of slid Arnold out from under the sheet by pushing on his butt and sliding him up until he was free.

The fitted sheet in place, I had to do the top sheet. Arnold's in the middle of the bed. I cover him with the sheet. I only had to tuck in the bottom corners so I let him stay under the sheet.

Now it's time for the blanket. I cover Arnold with the blanket. I tuck in the bottom corners then I can't resist: I slide Arnold out from under the covers by pushing lightly on his butt until he's free.

Arnold sits in the middle of the bed.

I cover Arnold with the Pooh comforter. I think you know what happens next...

The bed all made, now Audrey-kitty can come in and pass judgement on the job I did. She seemed pleased.

Kitties, kitties, kitties

Nothing special to report... just the same kitty cuteness that they always portray.

Audrey very politely put her face right up to mine and went "mer?" this morning. It was very sweet and very polite. Unfortunately, it was also very early - 4:30 - so I politely told her to go back to sleep for a bit. So she did.

We got up at 5:30 and we all had breakfast.

I was watching tv in the fliving room last night and the kitties were very snuggly and cuddly - everybody all snuggled up together and parked with me. I went to bed around 10:00.

That's when they got wild! Psycho kitties! Dashing all over the house! It was crazy! I don't know when they settled down, but they did come and park with me sometime in the night. I rolled over once and Arnold didn't even move... but about a minute later he awoke with a start then scootched over and smooshed himself against my butt and went back to sleep.

"What have the kitties done cute today?"

Well, Audrey hogs the bathtub after my shower. She's all over the place and Arnold just can't find any room to investigate.

She also fusses at me if I try to watch her. She'll see me come in and look in on her and she'll fuss at me in her annoyed voice until I leave. If I don't leave fast enough then she jumps out of the tub.

Everybody parked with me last night. I couldn't even roll over because they had the covers pinned down on either side of me.
