Labor Day

Kenta plans to hang with his brother during the three day weekend.
 

Combed

I gave Kenta a combing yesterday. We’ve done it around five times and I can’t tell if he’s enjoying it or not. He tolerates it for awhile and then wanders away. He constantly is cleaning himself so i thought helping to remove some loose fur might help… He does love his hairball medicine (that we call ‘goop.’) As soon as he sees the tube, He tries his best to access it…

 

Boom Boom

We had a really bad thunderstorm last night. There were a lot of big trees down in the neighborhood due to the high winds. Heavy rain and lots of lightning and thunder. At first Norma was alarmed but she seemed OK as it continued on.
 

Poor Kenta

I scared Kenta over the weekend. A couple of my work team stopped by the house to drop off a care package. We don’t get many visitors to our house. The only one during Kenta’s time was the Rover.com person who came over to put out meals and clean litter boxes when I was out of town.

So having other people in the house is new for Kenta. One of my team loves all the pictures she’s seen of him so she asked if she could meet him. He was sleeping upstairs so I picked him up and carried him down the stairs. When he saw the other two people in the living room, he freaked and wiggled his way free and fled downstairs. It occurred to me that it was similar to how I picked him up at his foster home. Kenta saw me as the foster mom went to gather him up. He got scared and ran down the hall and into the bathroom and when I got him into his new home he spent an entire week hiding under a bed. 

I wonder if he thought I was giving him up to another home. Once he was convinced I was the only person remaining in the house, he cautiously came out of hiding. I went downstairs to watch the Twins’ game and he joined me, rubbing his face against mine and staying with me for a long time. I think it was his way of thanking me for keeping him around.

 

Purchase Gaining Acceptance

The new tree is gaining popularity although Norma is the only one who has taken advantage of all its options.

The New Tree

This is the newest cat tree. If you think it was simple to assemble, you’d be wrong. Of course what made things even more difficult was Alias and Norma wanting to snoopervise. Alias kept jumping on pieces that weren’t completely assembled causing things to fall. After I finished, Norma was the only one to check it out.

I don’t spoil my housemates.
 

Give it a Try

Next time I have insomnia, I think I’m going to try to sleep on top of that box top. Kenta makes it look so cozy.
 

Big Sister

These two don’t spend a whole lot of time together. Yet it’s clear both are glad to have the other around.
 

Home

 I think Kenta really appreciates his brother.

Plush Pod

Norma has formally claimed the sleep pod as her own (although Alias naps in it once in a while too).
 

Happy Weekend

Quality sibling time…
 

Made You Look

Alias can’t believe what he is seeing below. I’m not sure what he’s seeing but he sure is fascinated by it.
 

Happy Birthday

Norma and Alias bonded from the start, two out of six in their litter. I don’t know the birth order, but I’m guessing Norma was born first.  . Their foster mom really hoped to keep them together. And I’m glad I made that happen. They still spend so much of their time together. I hope they spend their entire lives together.They deserve so.

You’re OK

Kenta doesn’t seem to mind that Alias was napping in the bed he wants to nap in.
 

Prepped and Prepared

Kenta is all ready for whatever play time throws at him this week.
 

Frida and Da Boyz

This picture would have been perfect to hang in our house a few years ago. Not only does it feature Tuxedos like Theo, but Diego-San was named after Diego Rivera. Of course it would have been even better if there was a visible three legged cat in it as well.
 

Licked

There’s that specific tiny spot on Kenta’s chest that needs to be cleaned. And he’s doing his best to clean it.
 

He Completed Us

Kenta has added a very lovable and large personality into our house. He seems very thankful for his siblings (and meals).
 

Told You So

Norma spoke her mind.
 

Vacuumy

The giant sucking machine made an appearance. Alias still isn’t sure if his curiosity should be greater than his fear.
 

Perfect

I love Alias’ arms pulled in and neatly folded position.
 

Brotherly Love

Kenta is very fond of his brother. Particularly Alias’ head.
