Kitties!
MomKat Trish here.
I'm dying to tell a few fun stories about my girls so I decided to hijack the blog today!
The Baby
The Baby. What a character! Her raison d'etre is escape. She lives to run in the great Outdoors. She's the only one of the Horde with any interest in the world beyond the house and Catio.
Every morning (oh heck, ALL DAY) she "prows" at the back door, asking to Go Out. Drives my Hubby crazy...
She gets a supervised outing every morning...we would LOVE to be able to just let her sleep and explore all she wants, but that dang cat is Not to Be Trusted. The back wall and the World Beyond calls her. So, supervised it is.
May Ling
Miss May Ling is a screamer! Talk talk talk all day. Did you leave the room and come back after two minutes? She's got ALL kinds of things to tell you about!
She's totally in love with her Daddy...nothing makes her happier than when he's paying attention to her, she purrs like a motorboat. She's also quite the BusinessCat--here she's helping with Daddy's eBay inventory.
May Ling and Sweet Pea have a running vendetta towards each other. Mister Squirt Bottle is their mutual enemy and the fevver onna stick is a hotly disputed toy.
Sweet Pea
Sweet Pea must be part Turkish Van. She LOVES water and every morning when I rinse out the cat bowls and feed the troops she's right there (in the way) in front of me, pacing and watching the water in the sink. I have to leave the faucet dribbling for her to play in the stream and get her face and paws totally soaked.
She's very athletic and agile, and her long plumey tail arches when she gets all worked up. I think she looks like "My Little Pony" during the 10 PM crazies, prancing around, teasing her housemates to play.
KonaKitty
Miss KonaKitty, my quiet old gal. She's always ready for a snuggle at night and she's not afraid to swat anyone out of the way for the primo spot ander my arm--or under the covers, whichever area takes her fancy that night.
Her tummy is bald...she's always over-groomed it. When she lays belly up it's comical to see a bald spot on the otherwise enormously floofy cat. And she lays belly up a lot!
Kona's favorite game is "Chase". She lays on the rug by the front door (belly up!) and acts all lovey and appealing. Then either Me or Hubby says "I'm gonna get you!" and chases her down the hall to the bedroom. Simple, yet fun.
Grayce
Miss Gracye...what a changed Cat! She had bladder stone surgery in March, and we switched the Gang over from kibble to canned food. Grayce lost two pounds and gained a whole new Cattitude. She runs, plays with toys, and engages with her sifurs in wild games of "Tag-You're-It".
Grayce is a Lap Lizard. She is happy to sit on ANY horizontal surface you might have...convenience (to you) be damned! She's also a biter, so it's wise to pay attention when she's on your lap.
Grayce also loves company! She's very social, and especially likes investigating strange shoes.
Salem
My Tiny Tuxedo. Salem is the latest addition to the tribe and it's like she was fated to be here. She plays with everybody (save Felix the Curmudgeon) and has a great sense of humor. She knows when she's being silly, and she enjoys it!
She's got an extra thumb on her left front paw...no visible pad or claw but if I play with her foot (NOT appreciated) I can feel it.
Salem's favorite position is upside down underneath the furniture. She tows herself around on her back using her claws and bats at unsuspecting victims. I don't like to think about what the bed mattress bottoms like like...probably ribbons. *sigh*
So that's my pretty Girls...
Happy Friday!
