Kitty Pix Fix

Wow! I actually skipped a day discussing the kitties. Imagine that!
The past few days have been continual fun and games with the kitties. And, I'm happy to report that, although they are not yet "cuddling" with Lucy, it'll likely happen soon (I'm placing my bet on Pete 'braving" it first!)
Yesterday, both kittens discovered that they like to sit in the decorative bowl which is on top of the dining room table. They take turns.


Pete discovered that the back of the leather sofa is a comfy place to nest. Observe Lucy in the background on "her" sofa. Also, while I gave Lucy some cuddle time out on her sofa, Pete came out and laid in the sun behind the sofa while Lily sat in one of the living room windows alternative between playing with the blind cord and looking out on our street. I didn't have the camera handy so didn't get pictures of either of those "moments".

We've discovered that our Lily is a little pig, and, a demanding one at that. One of the rituals that is quickly developing between her and Mr. B is, he goes into the utility room and she runs after him and promptly demands food. He usually obliges!
Last night found them scampering all over the living room. They discovered the joys of the couch out there and all its pillows. Great fun was had by both as one would sit on the couch buried under the pillows while the other would come running at a flying leap and pounce. Off they'd both go onto the floor, rolling around, tussling, yowling at one another. This went on for some time. Alas, I was too busy laughing to take a picture.

After play time, Lily stretched out in her "hussy" position.

Later, Lily discovered a crawl space in the corner area of our kitchen cabinets. She went in, followed by Pete. Although this was cute, we decided we didn't want to risk one of them getting stuck in there so we've stopped the space up with a towel until they are too big to get in there.

This morning, Lily sacked out on the leather sofa while Pete sat in my lap and attempted to post an entry on my Blog. Big sis Lucy came over a few times to give him a gentle whiff. He didn't seem to mind much.

I left the pantry door open and he wandered in there. A few moments later, I heard him crying and carrying on. Turns out he'd gotten himself stuck in the wine rack. Are you a good vintage, Pete?

Mr. B came home early today; just that sort of cold, grey, maybe snowy day. He decided to nap; Pete and Lily obliged. You can't see Pete (he's on Lucy's bed next to our bed) but Lily is sacked out at the foot of the bed.
So, yeah, our journey continues! It's been fun and light hearted. It's especially been endearing to me to see how pleased Mr. B is (these are his very first kittens that he remembers being kittens; so, this is an extra special time). It's like taking your best friend to Disneyland for their very first time!

Yes, it has been fun so far and will be better yet when we feel we can trust Lucy around them.

i'm not sure if this topic was in this blog or one of the past ones about the kitties, but i've been meaning to say...

we have to trim bo's butt hair too. i always have had to do it. his hair is SO long... sometimes his poops get stuck in the hair. it is much easier (i.e. less gross) to trim the hair than cut OUT the poop! also, this summer, getting bo shaved was a great idea - years from now when their hair is SO long... i'd recommend it for them too! i think they are both going to be as fuzzy as bo!
