Paying the Bills

I've resumed a part time remote evening job that reduces my ability to pay individual attention to my housemates. These two are having a hard time adapting. I don't think Kenta has even noticed.
 

Bonds

 A great antidote to another Monday morning. Sorry I have to go to work. 

Cardinal

I came home to see what I think is a cardinal (I’m no bird expert). I’ve never seen one in my yard before but I used to see some in the trees of my parent’s house. I came in excitedly to tell my housemates. They looked at me as if I’d gone bonkers (or more bonkers than I already was). 

 

Alias’ Ask

Alias wants to know if you’d be kind enough to scritch his chin.

Thx.
 

Patience

Kenta stole Alias’ favorite place in the house. He often likes to do what Alias is doing. Often at the exact same time. Alias is pretty patient with his younger brother.

Nothing melts my heart more than when the two of them cuddle.
 

Stumble

I raised my voice toward Kenta for the first time ever. He loves to rub up against my legs, particularly when a meal is being delivered. He and his siblings get fed in the basement so as I was headed toward his dish to fill it, he tried to rub up against me and I didn’t see him almost falling flat on my face not to step on him. I yelled Kenta’s name. This all clearly confused/scared him. 

I love Kenta-beans.
