Frankie the vacuum cleaner

Frankie has discovered she loves treats...Sammy wants nothing to do with them because they're not real meat. All we have to do is open the cabinet the treats are in and Frankie comes running over yelling at us. She can't even wait for us to get the bag open. She starts clawing at our legs trying to climb us to get to the treats. As soon as we throw them on the floor she has already inhlaed them.

Scratching post

The scratching post the cats had was really worn so we got them a new one. This one looks like a goal post, so there are three areas for them to scratch on and they can walk thru it too. Well after I got it set up they went crazy. They both tried to take ownership of it and keep the other one away. Then they started running around and running thru the posts and tackling it and flipping it to the ground and scratching it crazily.

New water dish

We got the cats a new water dish, one of the filtered running water ones. It took a little while for them to get used to it. Frankie didn't mind so much...Sammy took a littel longer to warm up to it. When he first saw it he went over and started hissing at it...two ddays later he finally got over himself and accepted it.

Frankie and Boots

Frankie has this strange obsession with boots. Whenever Tim comes over she always runs over to him and starts hugging his boots and rubbing herself all over them. She does the same thing to Dave now that he's been wearing his boots to work. She'll run over when he gets home and grab his boots and roll on them and hug them and rub herslef all over them...crazy cat!

Sammy's "TV" Dinners

Sammy caught on to a little trick that benefitted him well. He knows he is not allowed to jump up on the tv stand and he also knows he is not allowed to have our dinner. So now he has figured out that if he jumps up on the tv stand Dave will get up to get him down. Sammy waits til he's close and then runs to steal food off Dave's plate. Then it turned into this fun game he wanted to play so he could get food. Dave would see him heading towards the tv stand and call Sammy over with a tiny piece of food. Now Sammy strolls over to the tv stand while looking back at us with this look like "I'm going to do it...just watch me!" Dave will yell at him and he'll stop for a second and then start getting closer to the tv again and then Dave will pretend to get food and it just continues...

Frankie's Bathtime

Frankie has gotten lazy...instead of bathing herself all the time...she has found an alternative way to get clean. Now she just waits for Dave to get out of the shower and then goes and rubs herself all over his clean hair so she smells nice and pretty.

Such a Handsome Boy!

Sammy loves to check hiself out in the mirror...at the house we were living in in Roseville the closet doors were mirrored and he loved to walk back and forth and chase himself...then we moved into the apartment and he lost his mirror. Since then he realized that there is a mirror in the bathroom that he can check himself out in. So he will go in to the bathroom, jump up on the toilet and then jump onto the counter and stare at himself cause he thinks he's such a handsome boy. We always laugh when we hear the noise of the toilet seats hitting together cause we know he's going up on the counter to check himself out!
