Sunny Days

We’ve had absolutely gorgeous weather the past week. I’m not the only one enjoying it…
 

Brotherly Hug

You know what always feels great? Hugging your brother’s head.
 

A Trip

Norma was peacefully resting in her cat tree (yes, it’s her’s) when I snatched her up, brought her downstairs, and put her in the carrier. I had moved the carrier to the living room last week. She barely had time to protest when we were off to her annual visit with the vet. She let out her displeasure during the car ride, but once we got to the clinic she quieted down.

I think she was more unhappy with being confined in the carrier than she was worried about where I’d taken her. She checked out fine doing her best to escape the clutches of the vet. I told the vet that Norma is the only cat I’ve lived with who skips meals on occasion. She lost a little weight over the past year (she weighs just over eight pounds) so we’re going to keep on eye her eating habits to make sure it’s nothing serious.

When we got back home she was more snuggly than usual happy with my singing her praises on how well she had done.

Next week it’s Kenta’s turn. Please don’t tell him.
 

Alias the Notary

This box has some important paper work I’ve been working on. One of the documents needed a notary. I guess Alias tried his best to assist.
 

His Best Day Ever

I left food out and Kenta took advantage to have five meals instead of the normal three. I swear I can feel his weight gain. And he was at his laziest during his food gouging. 
 

Appreciation

I so love how these two have found a way to melt my heart almost every day the past four years. Their snuggling, their (mostly) play fights, their acceptance of first Theo, and now Kenta, has inspired me on multiple levels. Alias and Norma had mighty big paws to fill when they became my housemates in 2020, with all that lived here before, and they have definitely carved out their place in that legacy.

Their Scheme

Norma: “Hey Alias, all we have to do is continue our looking cute routine and this guy will continue to buy us everything.”

Alias: “You’re so smart Norma. I’m up with that.”
 

Love Pile

I’m very fond of my housemates.
 

Kenta’s First Haiku

I am loving life

Love my brother and sister

But I love food most
 

Hanging Out

Norma is glad Kenta is able to feel so relaxed. 
 

The Newest

Norma was the only one brave enough to try out the newest chair/bed. Although I’m not sure either Alias or Kenta would actually fit comfortably in it.
 

Got That Out of His System

Once or twice a day, Alias bellows at the loudest level. This is followed by him tearing up and down the hallways and stairs. Once he gets that out of his system, he returns back to calm and huggable Alias.
 

Sleep Spots

They each have their go to spots to nap, some shared, some not.
 

Football

Right on season, Kenta’s new favorite toy is a stress relief spongy football. He carries it all over the house replacing his toy porcupine. It was one of the toys that spent years lost underneath our living room couch.
 

The Very Definition

Look up the word ‘lounging’ in the dictionary and you will see this picture.
 

Waiting Line

I wish Norma and Kenta would leave more time for me to nap with Alias.

 

Picturesque

I love it when I get home and when I turn the corner one of the first things I see is Kenta sitting in one of his favorite spots…
 

Will Power

I honestly don’t know how Kenta can resist joining this…
 

Busy Boy

I brought all the toys that I swept out from underneath the living room couches the other day upstairs. When I got home yesterday, someone (assuming it was Kenta) had swatted most of them down the stairs.
 

Popular

Alias is a sleeping magnet. He almost always is joined by one of his siblings when he is napping.
 

Favorite Toys Reappear

I lost my wallet Friday. I was pretty sure it was somewhere in the house because I used a credit card the evening before and I knew I left the pharmacy with my wallet and came straight home. I tore the house apart much to the anxiety of my housemates. As I swept things out from under the two living room couches a dozen cat toys appeared. Some pre-dated even Norma and Alias. Theo was a master at swatting toys underneath a couch.
