Cat’s Paw View
Our deck is officially open, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern celebrated by lying around on the table giving me the cat’s paw view.
The X99 Test
I brought home a couple of smoke damaged X99 chairs for the office. Guildenstern tested the one we will use at the sewing machine, and gave it a five out of five paws rating for kitting comfort, snoozing and all-out cat lounging.
One Cat, Two Cat, Black Cat, Blue Cat, Yellow…
To improve his modeling techniques, Guildenstern has taken to reading Vogue and copying the models’ expressions. The blue kitty and Leo were in playful moods the other day.
You Are Not Alone
Guildenstern was pointing out the obvious while Laurie was painting the catio. Rosencrantz wasn’t so sure about the obvious.
Ears & Claws
When Rosencrantz is serious about sleeping in, he only shows his perked ears to warn him of imminent danger, and a few claws to let you know his snoozing should not be interrupted.
Cattywampus
Roscrantz was laying between my legs about 3:30 am when Diné attacked him, and a cattywampus ensued as they fought, tumbled and wamped each other on my legs before Diné jumped off the bed with Rosencrantz in hot pursuit. A few minutes later Diné returned to triumphantly claim the spot between my legs where Rosencrantz had been before their cattywampus. Rosencrantz made his rounds, came back in, walked up on my chest and gave me a security report before he snuggled inbetween Laurie and me. I got up early, so Diné and Rosencrantz, still worn out from their early morning tussle, dragged themselves to my spot and continued to snooze. Guildenstern seemed a little mystified that I was getting up after all that ruckus in the wee hours of the morning. Meanwhile Mama Manx caught the first rays of the sunrise in the catio.
Put Down that Camera and Let Me In
Need I say more?
Cat Games
While I was playing with Rosencrantz by the end of the bed, Guildenstern walked up to the edge of the bed and grabbed the stick out of my hand. He held it there while Rosencrantz watched for him to move it. When Guildenstern didn’t wiggle the string, Rosencrantz looked up at him like “Are you going to do something?” At which point Guildenstern attempted to wiggle the string, but the pole dropped from his thumbless paws. He grabbed for it, but it finally ended up on the floor.
Manx in Mulch
I had the catio closed while I painted the floor, so Mama Manx took advantage of the sunny day to go out and have a roll in the mulch. After a few rolls, she paused to yawn, and then acted embarrassed about the yawn by putting her paw over her face. When she finished rolling in the mulch, she nestled into a dried catnip for a catnap.
