Kitty capers!

When I got out of the shower the other day, Neko was waiting on the hamper just outside the door. He peered in at me inquisitively, impatiently. I left the bathroom and he went in hurriedly. He wanted to drink up the droplets of human-essence-infused bathwater left in the tub. I came into my room and, a short time later, heard something fall. It was a few empty bottles of shampoo, and it spooked Neko such that he came running out! Poor wittle man!!

Picked a few berries that same day, then came into the house through the back screen door. It takes a while to close completely. I stood there talking to my mom, who was still out in the patio, when I suddenly saw a paw desperately trying to prevent the door from closing. Priscilla!

Frosty was missing for nearly two days. After mom called for him, she heard meowing coming from the neighbor's shed next door. Sure enough, he was trapped inside...he's gotten himself into this predicament before. Our ninety-one year old neighbor is not fond of cats, so mom has devised a rescue scheme to retrieve Frosty whenever this happens. She accomplished her mission successfully once again today :D!

Neko has spoiled fish breath. Tianni looks more and more like an old lady each day. Patch now has the nickname "Patchie Honey Sweetie!"

Patch's puffy paw and....

Yesterday, Patch got stung by a bee on his right paw :(! Mom tried to get him thereafter, but he scampered away to the next door neighbor's yard! He came into the house a short time later and took a nap. He appeared ok, but mom and I took a look at his puffy paw just in case. We couldn't find a stinger. He's recovering quite well, and was back to his normal self today...poor wittle Patchie!!

Frosty is the daredevil. Once when Tianni was growling at him and trying to get away, he boldy followed her into the hallway, then got a quick swat on his tender little spotted nose :(! He tried this with Neko recently on the sidewalk, but it resulted in Neek putting up his dukes for a serious duel. Mom had to separate them before anything happened!

Priscilla is spending more time in the house :). She presently has no matts in her fur, thanks to mom's natural grooming technique which was successful over a period of weeks. I pet her and praise her for being such a good hunter!

Tianni is beginning to look like an end table with skinny, balding legs and rotund abdomen :). Sweet as ever, but just as sinister if she wants to be...as always...;)...seems she is the sweetest yet the meanest of all the kitties!
