It’s hard to believe but the kittens/Shittens are going on six months old. They’ve grown a lot, helped no doubt by getting rid of all those parasites and eating both their kitten chow and the adult cat chow. They continue to make us laugh (mostly), curse (sometimes) and shake our heads at the weirdness of cats (pretty often).
Little Annie has the sweetest personality and the longest tail. Our little Cow Girl (we call her that because of how her fur looks) is the one who wouldn’t take no from Eddie and was convinced from the beginning that he was her best friend ever (except for her sister). She cuddles with him all the time, whether he wants it or not, and it’s pretty sweet to see them grooming each other. She’s not a lap cat unless we’re on the couch with our legs stretched out, and then she’s right up there with us.
She’s also a huge water baby. She gets in the sink, any sink, and licks the faucet in hopes water comes out. She also tries to open the shower door when one of us is actually in there taking a shower. She hasn’t managed to do that yet but I think it’s just a matter of time.
Stevie also loves the water and is quite the jumper. She easily gets onto any high surface, it’s like gravity has no effect on her. She also can be a bit of a bully. All the cats prefer the bed on my desk as it’s got a light directly over it that acts as a heat lamp. I’ve watched her slither into that bed when Eddie is in there (she wouldn’t dare try this with Wally) and then start picking on him, batting at him and biting until he leaves. I stop her when I see it but I know she does it other times too.
Unlike her sister, Stevie is definitely a lap cat and also still loves to chew wires. I’ve now replaced the earbuds to my laptop twice and keep them locked up when not in use.
Here's a little collage from this past weekend. We put the tissue paper and wrapping paper from our presents on the floor so the kitties could have some Christmas fun too.
