Thank You Kenta

Kenta really helped me. I was having the most serious anxiety attack of my life. Norma and Aliax were out of control energetic both because I was behaving in a way they’d never seen before and because their dinner time was being delayed. Kenta came over and sat on my chest, something that is unusual and rare. He purred away and let me pet him. This lasted for 10 minutes or so and it helped me get my breath back, and the sweating to wane. 
 

Gobble Gobble

Too much tryptophan.
 

Hidden Talent

One of Norma’s many talents is her ability to tear labels off of boxes. None of the cats I’ve lived with have ever tried it.

Happy Boy

Saturday was Kenta’s two year gotcha anniversary although technically his gotcha day was about two weeks later since he spent his first two weeks with us, hiding underneath my futon frame in the basement. But once he trusted his new hone was a loving home, he came out of his shell in a big way. He’s taught me a lot these past couple of years about loving every day and loving everything we have day to day. 
 

Watchful Eye

Norma is keeping an eye on the world. We’ll all be OK.
 

Heat Transfer

Kenta lays next to the space heater then he jumps on my lap. It’s like having a handsome heating pad.
 

Happy Boy

I love Alias’ resting face. 
 

Usual Suspects

Someone was behind the TV in all the wiring and accidentally (presumably) turned off the power supply.We are rounding up all the usual suspects. 
 

Preference

Alias definitely loves snuggling with his sister as opposed to being squished by his much larger brother.
 

Relaxin with Kenta

Just hanging out.
 

Standing Room Only

Alias loves to stand on my chair so I can’t sit on my chair.
 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Norma went for my jugular yesterday morning.She was sleeping under the sheets right next to me as she likes to do. She heard something downstairs so she crawled out from the covers and straddled herself on my shoulder. When she heard the noise again she hurdled herself toward the stairs. Her hind claw launched from my neck leaving a deep scratch. I screamed. Thing was I knew it could happen but I was too slow and sleepy to lift her forward (which might have caused her to launch herself anyway).

 

Squish

Alias did mention to Kenta that there are empty beds on both sides of them.
 

Curled

It’s definitely been a curl up in a ball type of day.
 

The Four of Us

Kenta has been spending more and more time upstairs with the three of us. Because I run a space heater upstairs it’s warmer. Or he just wants us all to enjoy his company more.
 

Life of Alias

Alias’ nap pooped him out.
 

Norma’s Gaze

 I always love it when Norma looks at me like this.

House Holder Upper

Kenta thinks he is holding the entire house up so he’s afraid to take his paw off the wall. I don’t want to find out if he’s is wrong. 
 

From Up Above

Alias wants to see things from Norma (and Kenta)’s point of view. 
 

Vying for Attention

Norma has learned that when I get up from my desk near a meal time her brothers are going to tear down the hallway and race downstairs. So she hops up on the ledge next to the stairs to avoid getting stampeded. Unfortunately, Kenta has seen how I praise and pet Norma when she’s on the ledge so now he hops up there too and nudges his sister aside. Poor Norma.
