Kittens!!!

[susandennis]

I think I'm going start calling them Biggie and The Smalls. And they continuing their run here of hilarity. I have this motion laser. If you move it or knock it a little it throws out a beam for a finite amount of time - I think it's 30 seconds. And then it stops. It's sitting on this table with the laptop. Biggie keeps hopping up here and starting it off and then chasing it until it stops.

I swear it feels like he's scratching his head when it stops. He's so confused. It's so funny.

This is The Smalls



This is Biggie



Today they are playing King Of The Mountain. Biggie's perched on top and The Smalls wants in on the action. He's trying so hard.

He's given up and now all over me and this keyboard while his brother is watching The Tree That I hate.

Not at all surprising, there was nearly no one at the gym this morning. Only a handful of us regulars. Front Desk Frank told me yesterday it was packed the whole time it was open.

After my swim, I went to the 24 hour Safeway. Frank is coming over tonight to meet the kittens and I thought I'd pick up some watermelon and stuff to make potato salad. Done and done.

It is cool enough this morning to turn off the a/c and have the door open but I'm not sure these two are ready for the terrace so I'm leaving the door closed for now. Maybe when Frank's here tonight and there are two of us, we'll give it a maiden run. I think it's going to be too hot to have it open for a couple of months so there's really no hurry.

This entry has taken me forever to write because I keep getting interrupted!

Guess I'll quit trying. I want to go make them collars this morning anyway. Sewing with them is going to be extra fun!

Our cats have a climbing tower with a round sleeping space on top. When they were small they used to sleep in there together but now they can't both fit in so there is a more or less daily battle over who gets to sleep up there.

They have the cutest little faces.

I'm really enjoying you and the new family members. Isn't it funny how they seem to choose their names?

I, cannot, believe, you got two cats!!!!!!!! Hahahaha! That is awesome! Are these the ones from Instagram? Siblings? Same age? Too, funny! And way too much fun.

Like I said. After careful consideration, I decided that maybe I'd get another cat sometime this Fall.

And then two hours later, after perusing Instagram, I was at the shelter signing papers. Seriously. There's no hope for me.

Biggie and the Smalls ... I like it. It has the ring of Pinky and the Brain. :)

Biggie sounds so smart to have figured out how to make the laser work!

Your decision to rename the kittens according to how they can be told apart reminds me of the two cats my brother and his then wife acquired as kittens sometime around 1970: they were splotched black-and-white in ways that were not easy to distinguish, but each one had a black spot on the nose in an otherwise mostly white face; the black spots were slightly off-center in opposite directions, so my brother and his wife started calling them Left and Right while they were waiting to decide what their real names were. They ended up sticking with those names because they were going to need to use that information to tell them apart anyway.

(I do not remember whether the names referred to the observer's left and right or the cat's.)

Yeah, see I have trouble with left and right anyway. It would have to be Left and Other Left and still then, I couldn't be sure. Wonder if there's such a thing as cat tattoos?
