Harvi, Porthos & Athos

I left the boys in tonight since it was still cold out. I did a longer visit tonight since they were cooped up again. Port and Atti followed me into the garage to feed Harvi. A lot of the snow melted, so the backyard was all wet and muddy. Harvi was waiting for me when I opened the door. There's all kinds of kitty prints on the hood of the truck! Atti climbed up there while I was waiting for Harvi to finish. All of a sudden Port started getting playful and hopped up there too and ran all the way up the windshield to the top where Atti was sitting! He started jumping and ducking his head, batting at Atti! Then they had a stare down. Must have been playing king of the hill! They both jumped at each other and swatted. Port lost, and jumped down to the spare tire on the back. When they were done goofing around we went back in the house. Port snuggled with me for a long time and Atti came by once in awhile. When I was petting Port, I heard a weird noise coming from the kitchen. I looked and Atti was playing with a paper towel roll on the counter!

Hmm... telephone culprit maybe?

Miss Ella & Cali

Miss Ella and Cali were both standing by the door when I came in today. They must have heard me coming! I said hi to them both for a few minutes and then went to clean their litter boxes. Miss Ella followed me all over the place wherever I went. Cali went and sat behind the tv while Miss Ella came up by me on the couch. She crawled right into my lap and started purring immediately! I grabbed the feather toy and tried to get them to play with it. Cali swatted at it a couple times, but wasn't too interested. Miss Ella chased after it for a few minutes and lost interest. Later Cali went into the front office and curled up on the chair.

Kira, Bunky & Lisa Lee

Kira and Bunky were in the living room when I came in today. Kira came right up to me and started purring and rubbing against my leg. Bunky was laying on the floor where the light comes in through the window. I was walking through the hallway to clean the litter box and saw miss Lisa Lee in the bedroom. She looked at me for a minute and as I started to approach her, she went into hiding. After I was finished cleaning up, Kira spent the rest of the time getting pet by me! Bunky stayed in the living room and rolled over a couple times in between her naps. Lisa Lee made an appearance again, and this time came to sniff me. She and Kira started cleaning each other's faces. She let me pet her for a minute, then explored around the living room.

Koko & Sierra

Koko & Sierra were bouncing up and down like usual when I came in this morning! Sierra didn't eat her supper from last night. I got their breakfast ready, and hopefully she will eat that after I leave. She wasn't acting sick at all though! While I was cleaning up their potty pads she grabbed a rope toy and started jumping around with it. She tossed it up in the air and caught it! Then she ran over to me, as if she were saying "See what I got? Wanna play?". She tossed it around some more, then started chasing after Koko. They both were running around on the bed, crouching and pouncing at each other! We got to play lighty for a little while this morning before I left. This evening I came in and Sierra still hadn't eaten. I was starting to get a little worried! After I got their supper ready, instead of going to clean their pads up right away, I stayed in the kitchen with Sierra. She picked the chicken off at first, but then she finished her food for me! Phew! That made me feel better. We played lighty for a bit after I was done cleaning up. When we were playing, Koko got one of her ears flipped over! It was so funny, but it didn't even phase her! Finally it flipped back on its own as she was chasing the light around.

Pheonix, Coal & Oliver

This morning it was already starting to turn to freezing rain and sleet. The boys were happy to see me when I got there! I went outside with them and I walked out onto the grass to try and coax Coal to go potty. He did go for me, so that was good! When they came back in, they took turns eating and drinking. Pheonix came and sat by me like usual. He put his paw up on my knee a couple times this morning, so I let him out, but I guess he was just fibbing! Coal curled up on his little blankie while I pet him and Oliver laid under his table. At my early afternoon visit I went to check the mail, and the box was frozen shut! There was a layer of ice all over the mailbox. The boys all met me at the door and started bouncing around when I came in. I let them out potty and Coal wasn't sure about that white stuff! He eventually wandered out and went for me. Pheonix and Oliver were enjoying themselves and eating snow! They all came back in covered in white. At my late afternoon visit I decided to check the mail again, and it opened for me this time. The snow was starting to let up a little, but it'd be back later. I let the boys out multiple times while I was there. Pheonix kept giving me his signal to go out! When they were inside, they'd snuggle up and get nice and cozy. Coal seems to like to eat while I'm there, but the other two must eat when I leave. At my early evening visit the boys did their business and came back inside the warm house. They sure know when it's time for their yum yums! The snow is starting to get deep, but Pheonix sure doesn't seem to mind! They were starting to get sleepy, so they all made themselves comfy and relaxed. Oliver and Pheonix met me at the door for my late evening visit. Coal was all curled up sleeping on his blankie! Someone must have decided they wanted to play with the paper calendar on the table. It was on the floor and had a couple holes in it. They all went out for me a few times and got their yum yums for going potty. Afterward they snuggled up on the floor by me and went to sleep.

Time for yum yums!!!
