Have finally worked out why the maid prefers to scatter our socks and undies around the bedroom floor. The answer, she doesn’t. We’re infested with a couple of drawer monsters.
Does anyone know a good training technique for stopping two cats from routinely prising open drawers, pulling out half their contents and then burrowing inside?
We bought the little ones a new scratching pad made from compressed cardboard. They like it so much, the fish (which they could surf all day), is long forgotten – see it ignored in the background. The board is so popular they literally queue up for it. Here, Larry looks on whilst Lady maximizes turn.
After 3 weeks of play fighting, midnight racing and all-round sprattling… it’s time to say goodbye to Monster Truck and Pip. Now Larry can stop puffing herself out to 120% actual size and Lady might come out from under the bed… and we can get a good night’s sleep. That’s not to say they won’t be missed – for sure it has been a pleasure to have 4 colour co-ordinated kitties around the house.
We tried to get them together for a photo shoot on the white & black chairs but it was near impossible to orchestrate. Outtakes when flickr account #2 gets upgraded.
So we’ve agreed to look after a couple of kitties for a few weeks until their new owners are able to take them. They’re 7 weeks old – slightly ferrel and a little scrawny.
To begin with there was plenty of hissing and Larry tracked their every move from a distance. Lady on the other hand was petrified of them and sulked in the bedroom. A few days later and they’ve eated 10 pouches of whiskers, bonded with Larry and are generally steering clear of Lady who is still under the bed… sneaking out to the toilet when the coast is clear.

Their new bed has gone down a treat.
Svenskt Tenn, on the other hand, is not so amused.
