in the shed

investigating.

His cheek found some cobwebs.

Happy Tanji.

Puss In Boots

Les' birthday goodies included a boxed surprise...

Let's get this open!

There is another box inside...

Wow, its rubber kitty boots!

Uschi seems pretty excited too.

They are a perfect fit and

a perfect match...

With Les' newly dyed gardening coveralls.

As soon as Les takes the booties off...

Snaky Usch slithers in to investigate.

Nice treads...

and handles are good for nibbling.

They taste yummy...

and make a good scratching post too.

"Uschi, stop that right now!"

Nobody lets poor Uschi have any fun.

Shelved Vladi

We've got a set of built-in shelves that I made to
hold bins that we store our clothes in.

Vladi quickly found a vacant spot,...

Happy little guy,...

May I come up there also?

Hmmm, let me see if there is enough space,...

Sorry, no room for you Tanji.

That's right, you better take off.

My Mother-est-ones Visit

My mother and her husband Miles just visited from N.Y.

These are some pictures mom took.

Vladi was ready for "Grandma" to visit him for the first time.

Tanji kept a safe distance,...
but wanted to be in the room with us and was
"relaxed" enough to enjoy

a good ear scruffing.

Uschi showed off his swirls, ran on the wheel,
"talked/sang," visited for pets, and

showed off his water fountain.

Vladi really likes visitors,
unlike his big brothers.

He comes right over and greets most anyone,
sorry Kelli, who wants to admire him.

When mom and Miles first arrived, Vladi was fast
asleep in the closet, soon he heard the new voices
and came to investigate who was here to admire him,...

Soon he climbed right in Miles' lap,...

and seemed pretty happy with himself.

FYI - he doesn't climb in our laps. >;-|

Back to the hard work.

Pacified

On the advice from a friend in Switzerland, we decide to get the boys a pacifier ("comforter") to try as a toy. Les looked a little traumatized after returning from the giant "baby aisle" at the local grocery store, apparently there were a whole lot of pacifiers to choose from. We went with the smallest and simplest and tried it on our baby cats. We started with Uschi, because he has to be the first one to inspect new things (or there can be a lot of pouting)...

Here you go Usch, you were our first baby cat...

"I'm no baby."
Uschi kept walking on his wheel.

How about you Tanji?
You were our second baby cat...

This looks yummy...

Tanj has the whole thing backwards,
but he does not seem too concerned,...

Oh, this is good for kicking too!

Sometimes Tanji "buries" the things he likes,
to save them for later enjoyment...

I must bury this new toy!

You can try to bury it all you want Tanj,
but the babiest cat needs to try it too...

Here you go Vladi, our third baby cat!

Vladi knows exactly what this is all about
and suckles like crazy.

This is the perfect Vladimir toy.

We thought the pacifier excitement had subsided a bit,
but Mr. Uschi-Swirl has re-thought his pacifier decision...

Uschi is getting all excited, paws in the air
and chirping like a true kitten...

Mine, all mine!

Les & Her Boys

Les, T & U were caught napping on the couch,...

Les and U were butt to butt.

While T preferred to have his toes held.

Soon,

Vladi arrived,...

and woke Les and T.

Bath time.

Uschi was un-fazed and rolled over.
