Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning Mia completely rolled over for me when I came in the door! She laid on her back until I pet her tummy. I let her go do her business in the backyard and went to see Coco and Bear. Coco was sleeping on her perch in the office this morning. After I fed her breakfast, I spent some time with Bear. Bear always seems to give me that look like, "Where are you going? I'm not done yet!". I took Mia for a nice long walk since it was nice and cool out. If I touch her back while we're walking, she likes to stop in front of me and lean all her weight against me. She looks up and gives me that face that says, "You can keep petting me!". After we got home I thought about letting her stay outside for the morning since it was cooler out, but I'm glad I didn't because it started to rain heavily shortly after I left! This afternoon I found Mia sleeping on the couch in the sitting room. After I spent some time with Coco and Bear, I sat with Mia in the kitchen so she would eat. When she had finished, she went back to her spot on the couch. It was a good nap day! While I was petting her, I could hear Coco meowing. I meowed back at her, hearing her come closer each time. Eventually she found me and came to get pet some more! Tonight I walked over to get Mia's leash so we could take a quick walk before the rain hit. She knows when I'm headed for the basket and starts jumping around! She went potty right away, but then we didn't make it too far on our walk. She kept stopping in front of me so I couldn't go forward, then she'd turn around and head back for the house. I think she knew it was coming! Not long after we got back inside, the wind really picked up and the rain came. She followed me to the gate and waited there until I was finished spending time with the kitties. When I came around the corner she was so happy! She followed me to the living room, and I quick ran a circle around the couch. She happily chased after me, then rolled over on my feet after I sat down for her belly rub!

Suzzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fluffy, Fudge & Kitty Cat

Suzzie and Heiny came up to the fence to say hi today, tails-a-wagging! I went in the house and Boo came out and got his treats before I went to turn on the sink for Quartz. Someone got sick a few times today, but no other surprises! The mats were all dry; so far so good. Fluffy and Fudge were both curled up on a bed, and they both let me pet them and didn't move or attempt to run and hide! I guess they've seen me enough times now. lol I let the girls in so they could eat and enjoy the cool house. Heiny did her usual eating circle... take a bite from one bowl, walk around the table to the next bowl, continue crunching on her food on the way back to the first bowl, repeat. haha! While they were eating, I went outside to see if I could find Momma Cat. I walked to the hog pen and tried calling for her. I heard a meow back at me, then she came out and walked over to me. She sure is big! I bet she'll be having them soon! I pet her for awhile, then went to go get a scoop of food for her. As I came out the front door she met me at the porch, then ran ahead and showed me where her food goes!

Mimi

This morning Mimi was just walking in from the living room to greet me. I pet her for a long time in the kitchen before I took care of her food, water and litter pan. She hopped into the sink while I was scooping out her food, and I was going to rinse off the spoon afterwards. She didn't try to move when I turned the water on! I guess she knew she had her body curved in such a way that she wouldn't get wet. She ran ahead of me into the living room for our play time. Today we played with her little brown blanket. I put my hand underneath it and moved it around. She stared, then moved her head in all sorts of directions excitedly, then pounced! She rolled around with the blanket and stuck her head under it, searching for the moving thing. Later it started to rain outside, so she sat in the window and watched.

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning I said hi to Mia and let her go potty outside. Coco was curled up on the other couch in the sitting room, meowing at me. I went and pet her for a little bit before I got their breakfast ready. Bear woke up as soon as I walked in the room and moved closer for me to pet her. Mia and I went for a nice long walk again this morning. We passed a couple houses that had dogs outside. They were barking as we passed by, and Mia started to whine a little. When we got home, I sat in the kitchen with Mia for awhile to give her some company so she'd eat her breakfast. This afternoon I let Mia sit outside until she was ready to come back in. It was super hot and humid this afternoon, so she didn't want to be out too long. I brought Coco some lunch in her hiding spot in the closet. I could hear Bear calling for me! By the time Coco was finished eating, Bear had decided to come see where I was. Bear had some lunch while I pet her. Tonight Coco ate a good amount for me. Bear got down off the bed and had some supper too after I pet her for awhile. I took Mia for another long walk after I fed Coco and Bear. Once we got home, she sprawled out on the floor next to me. I sat at the dining table again with her so she would eat for me. She did like a good girl! Afterwards, she went and curled up by the couch in the sitting room and I spent some time with her. She's such a sweetheart!!
