There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

Cat Blogging Sunday

Well, I've promised more pictures of the kitties, so here I am making good. It was nappy time the other day. Both cats are getting used to our presence, so they're laying all about us. Up on the back of the couch was Cleo.


As you can see she's sleeping hard there. Cleo was people shy when we got her, with the broken leg who can blame her. But today she became a lapcat, sleeping in Bette's lap while she read the paper.

Here is Vivian sleeping at our feet.

You can see her ear tufts a little better in this photo. While she was the most acclimated to people, she's now the more stand offish. Although a few days ago she slept next to us on the couch with her belly up (which of course we rubbed lightly while she slept, you have to reward these things). I wish I could have gotten a photo of her face then, you could see her real coloring.

Both of them are a bit more orange than appears in these photos. As we approach summer the orange is coming out in their coats. Vivian is still begging for a lot of food, even though she's developing a belly. We're hoping this is just "shut-in frustration" eating and when summer comes and we can let them out more she'll work it off (she is a very good hunter, just watching her play you can tell). I guess one day she was out she did climb a tree. Hopefully we won't have to call out the fire department to rescue her.

Thanks, Camille. It certainly helps us from booting them out into the cold when they go chasing around the house knocking over the potted plants.
