Spots

Tanji has always been a glitterball boy,

and is often quicker than the ISO of our
dSLR (inside light levels).

I just liked the blur of this one.

Camera Weight

The camera adds a few pounds,...

"What are you saying?"

Birthday Lemon

What'cha got Usch?

We regularly splurge on toys for the boys, so when T & U's birthday rolled around, we had goodies stashed for the event. For Tanji, we had a bag of new glitterballs. He likes to gum the pom-poms, so they end up wet and squished hard. In the middle of the night Tanji leaves his warm spot on the bed and collects the glitterballs lying around the house, moving them to his favorite food bowl. We've only caught him doing this a few times, but we know its him because of the excited look he gets when we re-disperse the glitterballs all over the place in the morning.

Tanji was here! This is supposed to be Vladi's baby cat

dish, but the big boys like to inhale the little kitten food.

For Uschi, we had a catnip lemon to replace the two
catnip bananas he has licked to pieces...

"What's this?"

Yum-yum!

Uschi hugs the lemon...

kicks the lemon...

licks the lemon...

and bites the lemon too.

"Wait a minute, who is that behind me?"

Back off Vladi,...

"This is MY special toy!"

The catnip is getting to Uschi and he is looking
a little mushy. Soon he is fast asleep.

Tani appears and gives the lemon a little sniff.

"Why is this thing all wet?"

Vladi Rules

Play with me!

Later today we'll post a blog on how Vladi is getting along with his brothers. We are sure this little charmer will eventually win them over, just like he has already conquered us. All kittens can be fantastic, but we are blown away by how calm, brave, and totally affectionate little Vladi has been. He also has impeccable habits...

Let's get this cleaned up!

Scratching post, ..... check!

We have a few chairs with seats covered in heavy fabric that kitties
can confuse with scratching material. Vladi tried to scratch one,
and when we moved him to a scratching box, he got the message.

Vladi can clean his plate (again and again).

Vladi grooms himself well and also seems to
like to rub against this bristle brush toy.

There are also plenty of naps. Apparently Vladi
can sleep anywhere, anytime.

He is certainly an adventurer,

The toy box has been thoroughly examined.

Uschi's octopus is a favorite...

as is his feather toy.

Checking Tanj's kick-pickle.
He's so small, he's just kicking the end!

Glitterballs are a hit...

As are Tanj's furry mice.

Mmmmm, this is so soft.

Best of all are the red feathers.
First comes a tentative touch...

Then the claws come out...

Mine!

Rolling with his new toy...

Come back here!

Happy Vladi already rules the roost.

Shared Toys

Our little soon-to-be kitten-son Valdimir shows
a definite interest in the same toys as Tanj and Usch...

Uh-oh, I'm not sure Tanji is going to want to share
his glitterballs. We better get a few more bags!

Oh my gosh, what a cute belly,
give him any toy he wants!

Hmmmm, the goldfish is one of Tanj's favorite toys too,
but we think he'll share.

Wow, look at that beautiful back stripe,
quick, give him more toys!

Feathers and fur at the same time!

Uschi may not pleased with this....

Its a good thing T& U have plenty of toys to share!

Happy Bengal Cat Day

"Show Cats"

Today is a big day for us, Tanj and Uschi are 18 months old, and one birthday a year for them is just not enough. Thus, "Bengal Cat Day" to give us another day dedicated to the boys. We are also launching our Bengalized Studio Store where we can showcase our paintings and photos. We have been thinking up ways to celebrate with the boys...

Of course, the boys needed another cake...

Yeah! Another excuse to get a cake
(as if we need one, our fabulous
Safeway bakery is on the way home).

Tanj's ears are saying: "Oh great, another cake."

Uschi's response is almost exactly the same.

We try a piece of cake next to the "sleeping" Tanj...

Tanj pets the cake gently.

His ears are at high alert.
"This may be a trick, all I really
wanted were glitterballs."

Here you go, Tanj!

Yum!

This glitterball is not long for this world.
It will most likely join the smooshed
"glitterball graveyard" by the food bowls.

Where's Uschi!

"Here I am, someone forgot to open my Fancy Feast!

"I want THESE!" nuzzle, nuzzle

"NOW, please!"

Happy Bengal Cat Day!

The Bengalized Studio Store is Open
