Mysterious Curious Boy

Kenta has an independent streak I truly admire. He often naps downstairs in the living room when the rest of us are upstairs in my bedroom/office. Yet Kenta is perhaps my cuddliest housemate, loves to spend time on my lap, purrs the most. He’s a complex dude and I appreciate him a lot. 
 

Love the Routine

Norma loves to sleep underneath the sheets all night right next to me fully stretched out. I love when she does that because we don’t typically spend a lot of alone time together during the day. Diego-San used to start the night underneath the sheets next to me but he eventually always ended up outside the sheets nestled up to my right shoulder. I still miss that.
 

High Speed Chases

I don’t know if it’s because spring is in the air but all three of my housemates are having moments of unbridled energy chasing each other up and down hallways and stairs. I think Alias is the fastest. Kenta kinda wobbles when he runs. Norma holds her own.
 

Night and Day

Ten minutes earlier they were engaged in a pretty fierce wrestling match. Peace followed.
 

Hiding Spot

I hadn’t seen Kenta for a while so I did a search. I guess we were playing hide and go seek.
 

Respects His Sister

When these two snuggle it’s almost always Norma who initiates it. I think Kenta is a little afraid of his sister so he plays by her rules.
 

Bros

Not much planned for the weekend but I’m sure there will be plenty of brother time together.
 

Snuggle Buddies

Science has proven that snuggling is good for your health.
 

Smothering Love

I swear Kenta gets bigger every day. Someday Alias might not tolerate being smothered.
 

Exciting Day

Exciting day. There were three large crows and a squirrel in the backyard that caught my roommates attention. Norma kept making this squeaky peep. Note her ear position. She didn’t like the looks of the crows.
 

Toys R Him

Kenta loves to play…
 

Silky Soft

Norma thinks Kenta’s extra soft fur makes an excellent chin pillow.
 

My Assistant

Alias loves to watch me work on my laptop. Unfortunately, sometimes he decides it would help if he strolled across my keyboard. Or howl at the top of his lungs when I’m on a Zoom call.
 

Handsome Boy

This is Kenta’s glamour picture.
 

Norma Jean

Norma likes to do Norma things.
 

Unsure

They weren’t sure if I went downstairs to feed them early or if I was leaving the house. It was the latter.
 

A Long Fall

Norma loves to defy gravity by leaping to the ledge on the other side of the stairway. I always get nervous about a botched leap but she has proven to know what she is doing time after time.
 

Hint Hint

Kenta is subtly pointing out the carpet is in need of vacuuming (not that he is a supporter of the big loud sucky thing).
 

Cheek to Cheek

Kenta is very fond of his brother.
 

Fur Boy

I think Kenta gets floofier every day.
 

Together Through Live

Alias loves to sit belly up on my lap. Norma loves to sleep under the covers right by my side. As much as I enjoy those moments I think I equally enjoy how much they love to spend their time together, right next to each other. Melts my heart.

 

Successful Hunt

I was reading an article that suggested that when I leave my house, my housemates think I’m going hunting for food. No wonder why Kenta always happily greets me at the door when I get home.

 

She’s In Charge

Kenta thinks he’s supervising his sister. Hate to tell him, but one thing I’ve learned living with Norma the past four years, is she doesn’t take to supervision… at all.
 

Mood Lifters

I was having a really difficult day and I looked over to see Norma and Alias snuggling. I just had to smile.
 

Ah Choo

With the spring thaw over the last week, my allergies have kicked in. Probably doesn’t help to have a housemates shedding his winter coat and constant cleaning adding to the normal dander level.
 

Donald the Duck

We had a warm and sunny weekend. Kenta had quality time with his duck.
 

Boxing Match

It looks like Kenta is punching Alias’s left side of his face. I’m sure it was a love tap.
 

From the Start

I’m not sure what these two would do without each other…
 

Winter Storm

Got another four inches of snow overnight. I had planned to go to the Timberwolves game but turned around and came home to watch the game with my housemates.
 

Energy Guy

A guy from the energy company was scheduled to install a new gas meter. I forgot to write down the appointment so when he called me when he arrived I bolted out of bed to turn down the furnace. This scared Alias and Norma and they skipped breakfast. Not Kenta, he was not going to forgo a meal just because the routine was broken.
 

Boxing Day

I grabbed this box of papers, went a few feet away to grab another box and when I returned… I’m thinking our routine has gotten too boring that moving a box from one place to another is the cause of interest.
 

Laundry Day

It’s laundry day so why not sit on the laundry hamper to celebrate?
 

Comfort

Another curl up in a ball afternoon.
 

Squealer

Norma squeals when she’s this comfortable. Squeal of comfort I guess.
 

The Ideal Spot for Now

 Norma saw Kenta’s resting place and although she’s never rested in it before she decided she needed to. Norma is in charge of our house.

Ear Care

Norma loves taking care of her brother.
 

Squished

Norma, only she does it when Alias is sleeping soundly inside the bed.
 

Not a Shady Guy

Kenta loves doing his stretching in the sun. 
 

The Week

This has been a curl up in a ball type of week.
 

Not a Shoe Fan

Kenta has definitely learned what it means when he sees me putting on my shoes. It means I’ll be leaving the house and possibly the next meal will be delayed.
 

Brrrrrr

It’s been really cold over the past week. We’ve had cold weather advisories much of the week with wind chills dipping down to 35 below. It’s good to have a snuggle buddy to stay warm with.
 

Weekend Plans

Norma plans to spent a lot of time enjoying the view from her perch. 
 

A Satisfying Life

Kenta is trying to decide if his favorite part of his day are his meal or if it is naps in the sun or if it is playtime with Porky his toy hedge hog. I think all in all it adds up to a happy life.

 

Brotherly Patience

Alias is always pretty patient when Kenta sits on him.
 

Good Question

Alias is asking Mr. Sun why every day can’t be warm and sunny.
 

Inspiration

It inspires me to know they’ve spent their entire lives together and remain very close.
 

Expert Hider

Norma would be very good at hide and seek. She has her go to spots but I’m often not sure where she is.
