Cory and Freya – BFF

So. Houdini went to a new foster home back in August, since our kids simply refused to accept him and he was understandably unhappy in a single room no matter how much time I spent with him – which upset ours, that they couldn’t reach me. He has a house and a calico girl his own age to play with and understanding humans, until his forever home finds him. Freya, however, has definitely concluded that this is her home and her family forever. Trick adores her, I’ve lost count how often I’ve seen him washing her ears and head, and…

Angel’s Sweater Moment

This may look excessively dark on some monitors, and I apologize.  These are hard moments to catch her in with a camera at hand, since they’re much less frequent these days.  I have some misgivings about posting something once so very private for her, but since she’s far less secretive these days, I think it’ll be okay. When Angel first came to us, she would steal sweaters in the middle of the night and drag them to a more private place to hold them in her teeth, knead vigorously, and purr at astounding volume. If we caught her, she’d abandon…

Morning With Cats

Twenty minutes before the alarm is due to go off, I wake up to find my face being exfoliated vigorously — er, washed with much love and dedication by Angel, who typically sleeps on my pillow. As long as she stays off the sensitive skin right around my eyes and mouth, I can handle that, especially when she’s purring like an earthquake. A moment later, she extends her attentions to my hair, by grabbing amouthful and yanking — ever seen a cat try to pull a knot loose in their fur? She’s a big, powerful girl, who can put a…

The Lost Eva Pics (and Video)!

Somehow, these pics and this video never made it online! They’re from those moments while Eva’s new family were here to pick her up. (There are also a few pics of Cory attacking plasticat’s shoelaces, but they didn’t come out as well, unfortunately!) And the short video: Original post blogged on b2evolution.

Angel’s Lessons

I stopped in the bedroom to check on Cory and pet him for a moment; Angel came in just after me, and Cory promptly abandoned me in favour of her. She patiently washed him for a minute or two, while he tried his best to wrestle with her — her fur is so thick and long, I’m not sure how much his teeth and claws really get through! As you can see from the videos, she is willing to wrestle, although no matter what it looks like, I promise, she’s not hurting him. At the end of the second video,…
