Patch has always been a little vacuum cleaner; despite our best efforts to keep small objects out of paws reach, he manages to find something to devour. Two days ago he coughed up a hair tie. It appeared to be my brother's...no doubt stolen from his room. Now Skye is beginning to copy Patch and is increasingly on the hunt for random garbage to nibble on. The two of them have been spending more and more time in the house, hence the promotion of like habits to develop between the siblings :0).
Speaking of Skye, she has two nicknames now. Sly and Spy. These she's earned...likes to hide from people and count coup on them by suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Often you'll see a only a tail visible from under one of the living room chairs. If you have food though, out she comes! Right on your lap, sniffing up to the bowl bravely. Loses all shyness when food is in your grasp...anything...a bowl of soup, toast, chips, cereal...two nights ago she was lucky; I was eating tuna. Of course I spooned a generous portion into her bowl which she inhaled....
May have mentioned this before, but for Neko it goes like this: we pet him, he's very content then finds something to bite onto (usually a bed blanket, hat or jacket), begins to knead and nurse. This he'll do several times throughout the evening as I study on my bed. Poor Neek is an orphan like my aunt's friend's cat who does the same....he was also bottle fed by people.
Tianni is still the matriarch of the house, the ex-eBay model who is retired. She's lost her left fang and since, her right one seems to be growing into a saber tooth. Because it is used the most? That is our theory...but really it has grown.
Sometime I'll post her pic modeling a pearl necklace mom sold on eBay a few years back. Yes, it was in the actual auction! 'Yanni made a stunning model with her classic black kitty good looks! As a matter of fact, she just came into my room and is now on my bed purring loudly. I didn't even pet her yet :0)...telepathic, I tell you. No mystery there.
