T'ings

Caesar had a little accident yesterday but he's fine. I had been in the bedroom (we're still trying to kitten proof it but its hard because we don't have much storage) for most of the day, I don't think he realised I was in the living room and I heard him squeeking in the hallway outside the bedroom door as he does when we're in there and he's not allowed in.

I got up from the couch to show him I was in the living room and then I heard a bit of crash and ran to the hallway to find that the ironing board had fallen over and Caesar was trapped under a towel that had been draped over it. At first I was really worried as I once had a peice of MDF (chipboard) furniture fall on a cat and give it minor internal injuries. I don't think the ironing board actually fell directly on him. He of course had darted off after wriggling out from under the towel and was hiding just behind the sofa with his back to me.

I didn't have any regular treats so I had to coax him out with a bit of cheese. I looked him over and he seemed fine, no broken bones or blood anywhere. Later on he cuddled really close to me right under my chin (which he never does) so I guess he was a bit frightented but he seems otherwise alright. It really gave me a fright though.

Their nails are really sharp and I am going to have to start cutting them. Caesar is generally good in not using his claws on us but Lyra just scratches if she wants food or toys or is trying to climb up us. Sometimes when they are chasing eachother they end up running over me and I've got tons of tiny claw scratches all over my arms. I did see those soft claw things that you can put over a cats claws but I'm not sure that I feel its right to do that to them although I guess its far better then declawing them.

We got our PetPlanet delivery today. Two massive bags of CatSan litter which I hope will last at least a month. I have a bad back so I can't really carry cat litter up and down the hill from the grocery store anymore, by ordering it we could get tons and also save some money I think.

I ordered their harnesses as well but I won't break those out for another couple of weeks till their b-day. I also got some organic treats called Catberry treats but they litterally wrinkled their noses up at them. I assumed that the treats would have some sort of meat flavour but actually they are cranberry! What cat likes cranberry? what a waste of money. However, I did discover that our local waitrose has two kind of Temptations so we'll be getting those next time we go shopping.

The kittens will be 3 months old soon and we're thinking of doing a special contest for all the kitties on t'internet to celebrate.

Are you insuating that it's NOT a good idea to sit on my sister's head?


Momma's legs make a nice hidey hole on the couch


You can't see me momma!


Cuddling my momma after my accident, poor little me


We like to play with dad


Give me that micey dad!


I said, give me that MICEY!
(she is a little demon when it comes to her toys and she not only crawled up Bryan's leg but stayed there even after he dropped the mouse. Luckily he is wearing his claw proof jeans)


I think the micey go in here
(Caesar likes to drop his mice in Bryan's sneakers and then hunt them out)


Oops! Caught in the act of wire chewing.


I'm innocent as always momma.


Would you kindly stop interrupting our telly time with that noisey red box?!

PS thanks to everyone for suggesting blogrolling. I had installed it before I posted but when I previewed it I didn't think it was working. Seems to be working fine now :)
