Lois, Ken and Kitties
I went to see Lois last week and guess what, she had kept two Burmese
kittens. (for those of you who didn't know, Lois bred Bonnie and Clyde). I have never seen such naughtiness. They used Ken's stomach as a trampoline, raced up my arm and did a circuit of my head, sped up the flyscreen - ah, it brought back memories. I noted that the toilet door had to be permanently closed to stop destruction of the toilet roll, the tall open china cabinet has also suffered from a cleansing of the shelves. The pair had to be put in the kitten room while we had our coffee and Easter buns -nothing was safe! Two woman who had bought three kitties over a year ago had had a birthday party for them and they gave Lois a calendar with a beautiful photo of the kitties for every month. I do wish there was some way for you to see it, the photos were so well done and the colour co-ordination and poses great. An older kitty (one of Lois's x-mums and re-homed)always has her slave send Lois an easter egg and other little gifts during the year Meanwhile at home a day or so before Bonnie had managed an Easter trick. She fell in the creek and came home looking like a drowned rat!!! She refused to be bathed and spent some hours licking stagnant, smelly water off herself. Fortunately she came out of it OK. It's the beginning of winter here and B & C sure know it. They are spread out in front of the GGH (great god heater) this morning and so far OUT is a no no. Happy Easter everyone and to all kitties too. http://www.strevelsgraphics.com/e2.html Bev -- A black cat dropped soundlessly from a high wall, like a spoonful of treacle, and melted under the gate - Elizabeth Lemarchand |

Had them outside today on their harness's, trying to teach them to walk with one on - we got the Boy (Soumra) walking on the harness, he is really good but the girls, they will frolick around the garden on their own but the minute you pick up the lead to walk them they lay down and say (with a pouting meow) I don't want to walk and you can't make me!!!! today we got the better of them, had a dangly thingy in front of them so they were happy to chase it, which meant they were walking and sometimes running to catch it, they come back inside exhausted as do the slaves, we will all sleep well tonight!

The kitties sound delightful, if somewhat exhausting.
Hearing about the antics of other folks' hoolikittens puts into perspective how much Spock and Persephone have grown up and settled down (they're 3 1/2 now). They still have the zoomies, but it's only twice a day now instead of twice an hour (LOL), and Spock hasn't climbed the curtains for at least a year (thank goodness!). Spock is our inquisicat - he may not be touched or picked up, but he needs to be "in" on *everything* we do inside the house. Making beds *always* includes a session of flicking the sheet while Spock bounces around underneath, and any cupboards that are opened *have* to be inspected. Of course, any visitors also get the treatment - a thorough sniffing and then a body-swipe to claim them as his own.

Yeah, I always claim that Oscar is incredibly easy to get along with, but I tend to forget little things, like how she knocked just about everything on a table, desk, counter, etc onto the floor, and how she ate through every single set of blinds in my apartment. And how she liked to stretch on the A/C air vents and then would get stuck there and have to be freed, which involved lots of hissing and risk of human life and limb. She was great fun as a kitten, but is much easier to get along with now. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I didn't realize this until I cat-sat friends' cat. Then I came home and told Rusty what a good boy he was.
