Shelby, Bitty, Spirit and Baby

When I arrived, Spirit looked so content as he was perched on the couch. It was almost as if he was posing for me, so I just had to take a picture! Spirit is becoming quite the camera hog! Bitty came around the corner and jumped up on his spot on the end of the couch! I can just imagine both of them sitting in the room, each on a couch, talking about how silly us humans are! Shelby was excited to come in tonight; she ran around the couch and gave her little happy bark! Baby was sleeping when I came in tonight. I sat and talked to him and pet behind his little ears. He closed his eyes as I scratched him. Before I left, I topped the food and water dishes off and said good night!

Sasha

I found Sasha sitting in the leather chair when I arrived this evening. She greeted me with a few, gentle "meows" and hopped off the chair to say hello! We then sat on the floor together and she purred as I softly petted her. She then decided that it was time to go and get a drink and eat a little bit of dinner! She then hopped up and took her spot on her pretty, pink blanket. So, we sat on the couch together until it was time for me to go! I topped off her water dish and gave her a goodbye scratch on the head! See you tomorrow, Sasha!

Auggie and Pattie

As I came in the house this morning, I could hear the bell on Pattie, but today it seemed closer. I greeted each cat and saw that Pattie was peeping at me on the stairway. I walked over and she stayed! I was able to put my hand out and she smelled it a few times! She stayed until she heard the sound of the camera; she hissed and ran upstairs! It was great progress! I found Auggie lounging in his spot on the back of the chair in the bedroom! I stayed awhile and scratched his neck while he purred loudly. Before I left, I filled the kibble dishes, scooped out the litter boxes and put the trash out. See you both tomorrow!

Shelby, Bitty, Spirit and Baby

Faithful Shelby greeted me at the door with a wagging tail! She is such a sweetheart! Bitty came around the corner to say good morning and rubbed up against the wall. Spirit was still napping in the living room and did lift his head to say hello! Shelby and I went outside and ran around in the sun and wet grass! She made her usual lap around the edge of the fence, while the little, orange kitty followed her! The three of us sat outside in the dry porch and enjoyed the cool morning air. After I turned the sprinklers off, I went back inside to say good morning to Baby! He was hoping around and as soon as he heard me, he stood still and looked up at me! I freshened up his food dish and gave him some hay, which made him very happy! He and hopped around his cage, kicking up his bedding, while making little noises!

Benny

Today Benny and I took a nice long walk. It was quiet out without Kota! Benny still had his usual fun though. He was busy saying hi to friends and growling at people's Halloween decorations. On our walk Benny noticed a black kitty sitting in the shade under a tree. He tried to go get him, but the kitty knew Benny couldn't get too far and just sat and stared at us. Benny was pretty tired by the time we got home and sprawled out on the kitchen floor to cool off.

Lucy & Shadow

Today both kitties were right by the front door, waiting to see who was here. (I love your halloween decorations!!) Lucy was a very snuggly girl, loving up every minute of attention! Shadow was acting a little shy today. I bet he could smell other pets on me. Lucy was the more playful of the two this morning. We played with their rope toy. Shadow had his turn to bat at it too. Lucy kept coming to me for her chin scratches. They heard the screeching of the garbage truck this morning and both ran to the door or window to check things out! When the truck made it to their house, Shadow zoomed off into the guest bedroom and hopped on top of the boxes on the bed. When it passed, he came back out and sat on his kitty scratch post to look out the window for awhile. While Shadow was soaking up the sunlight, Lucy and I played until it was time to go.
