Capone

Capone was waiting for me at the door like usual today. He followed me to his food and crawled in the cupboard when I opened the door! There were two new spots on the floor today that I picked up while he ate his supper. I noticed he had diarrhea in his litter box today too. He hasn't been acting lethargic at all, but he must have something going on. He had it all stuck in his hair on his back side too, so I tried to clean him up as best I could. He sure wasn't happy with me!! I felt bad for him, but I had to do it. When I finished, he laid on the floor and cleaned himself for awhile. He forgave me pretty quickly though and let me pet him while he snuggled with his froggy.

Dakota & Benny

Kota was excited to go for a walk today and wouldn't stop woo-wooing until we got on our way. We took it at a slower pace today since it was already pretty hot out. They stopped in any shady spots on the way back to take a little break. At one stop, they scared all the birds out of the tree! They both looked up at them as they flew away. A truck drove by and had the beeping sound when it went in reverse. Kota and Benny spun right around and stared at the truck! Benny wanted to go get it. When we got back home they had a drink, then we went in the backyard for a little bit. They both ended up sitting together in a tiny little spot of shade!

Capone

Capone was extra snuggly today! After he ate he used his scratching post and got a couple treats. I brushed him for a long time and he rolled over so I could get his tummy too. He was just purring away! Once in awhile he'd reach out his arm to me and touch my arm. He snuggled with his little frog while I brushed him. Later he got up and went over by the couch. He looked under and behind it like something was there, but I couldn't see anything! I got the laser out to play with, and he made that squeaky meow that kitties do when they're watching birds! When he got tired of that, I pet him some more. He didn't seem to want me to go today and followed me to the door. He even gave me a kiss on my arm today!

Jerrie

Jerrie met me at the door this morning and started meowing at me. He followed me around as I took care of his things and waited for me. He was very talkative today! I watered the plants again today so that you won't have to worry about that when you get home. Jerrie was especially snuggly today. I told him it was our last visit together for awhile, but that his parents will be back home today! His little motor was running the whole time I was petting him. He just couldn't get enough attention! He will be so happy to see you!!

Capone

Capone was rubbing up against everything when I came in today. I couldn't open the cupboard for a minute until I distracted him with my hand! He had his dishes all over the kitchen again. While he was eating I cleaned his litterbox. He had a hairball on the blue rug in the bathroom and missed his litterbox a little on the white rug. I figured you'll probably just throw them in the wash, but I picked everything up and marked the spots anyways. Once I started petting Capone, I noticed he was a little smelly... and when he turned around he had a straggler hanging on his heiny!! haha! I got it off, but he didn't appreciate that. He forgave me quickly though. We played with his froggy and the laser light today. The rest of the time he just wanted to be pet. I rubbed his ears for him and he started making a little snoring sound! He loved that!

"I GOT IT!! Heyyy, wait a second... how did you get out?"

Abby & Sammy

I heard the girls barking as I was walking up to the door. They both ran and greeted me as I was coming inside! I was trying to get them outside right away and Sammy didn't want to go until I walked out there first. We went for our walk right away. Abby was pulling pretty good at first, but that didn't last long! She started to get tired and hot, so we headed back and cooled off for a little bit inside with the a/c. They both walked very well for me. When they both cooled down enough, we went out in the yard and I brought their water out with us. Abby hung out on the porch in the shade a lot and Sammy stayed by me. Later, a neighbor started mowing their lawn, so the girls both took off and chased after it! They ran and jumped over each other to try and be the first to get it! They chased and chased until the mowing stopped. Abby came back and walked on the wood by the bushes to stay in the shade. She sprawled out on the porch while Sammy went and laid in the bushes! When it was time to go, we went in and they followed me around a little. They sure got some exercise today, so I bet they'll be pretty tired!

Jerrie

Jerrie was snoozing on the top of his kitty tree yesterday now that the sun has decided to come out. He was doing a lot better and not so skittish. He came down right away for me and curled up on the floor next to me while I pet him. Today Jerrie was sleeping on the top tier again. As soon as he heard me come in, he sat straight up and meowed at me! He hopped down right away and followed me as I took care of his things. One of the little balls I found while looking for him the other day was sitting in front of the laundry room door. Someone must have been having fun! We spent the rest of the time in the office. He rolled around like usual, just purring away. He caught me off guard and sneezed all over me! haha! Before I left I told him that his parents would be home tomorrow!

Dakota & Benny

Benny was just as happy to see me tonight as he was this afternoon. I let them both out back to play. Kota was busy giving me lots of kisses! Benny grabbed a ball and I tossed it for him... when he'd let me! Otherwise he rolled over and I pet his tummy or scratched his back for him. Kota chased after him a few times, but mostly stayed with me. I grabbed a squeaky bone and then she was ready to play! She caught it and ran around with it, squeaking and tossing it around. Later she ran around the back side of the pool, so I went back to see what she was up to. She picked up something and tossed it, so I got to it before she did again. I'm not sure what you call it, as we didn't have these up north where I'm originally from. It was a dead (crawfish/crawdad?) miniature lobster! I got rid of it so she couldn't get at it again. When we came inside, Kota finished off her food for supper and I tossed the blue ball around with Benny. He really wanted to stay outside!

Capone

I got inside before Capone got to the door today. He followed me into the kitchen for his supper. His dish was missing the tray and pushed into the middle of the floor. The tray was laying about a foot away. After he ate his supper, he followed me into the living room. He laid on the floor for awhile as I pet him. I scratched the kitty post and he ran to it and scratched at it! I gave him a treat for being such a good boy! We played with the laser light again today, but he wasn't as ambitious to chase after it. I got his frog and he chewed on that for awhile. Later, we played with the little feathers on the string. He loved that!

"Look! I'm scratching.... now where's my treat?"

Dakota & Benny

Benny was running laps today when I came in. I got in his way on accident and he almost plowed into my legs! They were ready to go today, and started right away with their racing. They both got pretty tired and were panting pretty heavily. We weren't even half way yet! So, I decided to take a shorter route today with our walk. We got back a little early so they could have a drink and cool down. Then we played out in the backyard for a little while. Benny got his belly all muddy in no time! I hosed him down and dried him off before we went inside. Kota had some lunch before it was time to go.
