Lucky One

I get to spend the entire weekend with this guy. I’m pretty darn fortunate.
 

Summer is Here

It's gotten hot and muggy. Even with the air conditioner and ceiling fan going upstairs where Alias, Norma and I spend most of our time, it's a little warm Their energy level is definitely lower.
 

My Heartbeats

Three of my loves: Kenta, Alias and baseball.
 

Simply Pointing Out the Obvious

Kenta is pointing out the wood floor needs sweeping. 
 

Show Off

Norma’s showing off her tremendous whiskers. 
 

Vogue

Alias has the perfect face. He really does.
 

Splat

Kenta got hollered at for the second time. Alias was sitting belly up on my lap as I was working on my computer like he does most nights. Kenta decided he wanted to sit on my lap too so he jumped on top of poor defenseless Alias. Alias yelped and scampered away. Kenta was scared by Alias’ reaction and my immediate, “THAT WAS NOT NICE, KENTA!” And he ran downstairs. 

He often wants to join or replace Alias on my lap but usually I see him and hold my hand as a blockade. I didn’t see him this time. Around 15 minutes later Kenta returned, hopped up on my empty lap and was deeply purring and rubbing up against me as if to offer an apology. No need, I can’t stay mad at Kenta. Norma on the other hand…

The latest cat I’ve been assigned to help get adopted is Grayson, a medium grey fur one year old. When I read his profile I couldn’t  help compare him with Kenta. An extremely anxious cat at first, but a loving ball of fur once he comes out of his shell...

Four Eyes

Sometimes I feel like I’m being watched. I don’t know why.
 

Back to Norma(L)

My temporary evening part time job is coming to an end this week. I think Norma will appreciate getting back to the old routine.
 

Polite Pouncer

Kenta's ready to pounce. He's a polite pouncer, rarely landing on me but softly next to me. Norma and Alias love to use me as a springboard and often body slam me when they are jumping up next to me.
 

Visiting Petting Zoo

I got to pet a llama at work. He was very soft. Best day at work ever.
 

Pun

Norma sat on my desk as I was working last night. She sat quietly for close to an hour. Unusual behavior for her. I said, “I like mellow Norma.” Then I realized it kinda sounded like, ‘I like melanoma.’ That I hope to never say. 

We both laughed at my wicked pun.
 

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. 
 

8>

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. 

Kenta Loves His Home

Sometimes it's good to sleep on something other than his favorite cat bed or cat tree or my futon or on top of Alias.
