Playtime

Norma loves racing into this plastic cave. There's a front entrance that she leaps into and then gets as low as she can and wiggles out the bottom. I'm glad she's so easily amused. 
 

Coming and Going

I came home from work and Alias after greeting me at the front door raced upstairs. He knows the next thing on the schedule is me going upstairs to change my clothes. Kenta didn’t greet me at the door and when I started upstairs he lowered himself down off the top of the scratching post and raced downstairs as he and I passed on the stairway.
 

Norma Tested

Norma claimed our newest cat bed. Alias welcomed the scratching post legs.
 

Desk Duty

All three took turns preventing me from using my desk.
 

My Guy

We don't spend enough time together as we should. Seriously. Kenta is one of the greatest soul's ever to exist. I promise. 
 

Cool

They both like resting on my desk because it is cooler than the carpet in all meanings of that word. I think they enjoy me not trying to work on the desk instead of giving them my full attention. Norma doesn't really rest on the desk. She prefers to squirm around and beg for me to pet her.

Smoky

Not only has it been unbearably hot and humid outside, now smoke from wildfires in the Boundary Waters area is making our air quality poor. It hurts to go outside. Norma is trying to figure out why I'm even crankier than usual.
