Here kitty kitty kitty (Photo/Video Heavy)

I know I promised kittens over the weekend, but I got sucked into documentaries and the book I'm currently reading.  HOWEVER, what better way to start your week than with kitties?

Sunny loves her paper bags. She'll sit on them like this so that the kittens (and Violet) can't play in them.

Miss Violet being a silly girl.

Gideon watching Matty very closely to make sure he has proper form.

I was trying to read one night and had a bit of company (Fawkes on the pillow and, of course, Violet).

Because they are smol, the kittens get under everything. Violet decided to see what all the fuss was about. A friend of mine asked if I had to call the fire department to get her out.

Violet's quite offended by Fawkes sleeping in her spot.

I wish I could sleep like these two sometimes.

Story time: when we first brought Sunny home, she'd play in any water she could find. Her water bowl, the toilet, etc. I even started to find her toys floating in the downstairs toilet every morning, which led to us having to keep the lids down 24/7. So, this cracked me up (click video to watch).

Lastly, the boys playing on my bed. You will note that Fawkes is not just behind my pillow, he is INSIDE my pillow case. *sighs*

I think that's it for now. Thanks for indulging me with all these pics and vids!

Happy Monday!

I get up to use the restroom and she thinks I'm getting up to stay and gets excited. LOL Fawkes has taken to sleeping downstairs at night and Gideon is very much a teenage boy — he doesn't get up unless he has to. LOL

Of course she does. LOL that's adorable with the boys. Yeah, Roscoe used to ask for food when I got up in the middle of the night, but now he just lifts his head and goes back to bed.

She's ridiculous, that cat.


I was wrong about Fawkes, he's sleeping under my bed where Violet used to sleep. Too funny about Roscoe. I think that they get to an age sometimes where sleep is more important than the food.

She sounds it.



LOL well at least he's not tormenting his brother in the middle of the night. I think they do. I mean he's also got crunchies that he can access at anytime.

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2023-11-27 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)

She very much is and it's why we love her.


Oh, they do that, too. And they use my sleeping body as a demarcation line. 🤣 Yeah, mine have dry food all the time, too.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2024-01-02 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)

LOL of course they do. It seems to work well to have the crunchies.

I'd go broke if all I ever fed them was wet food. Especially the boys. They eat SO MUCH.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2024-01-06 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)

OMG same. Mine get a spoonful of wet food twice a day. It's mostly to help them since they were supposed to be indoor cats.

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2024-01-06 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)

I split a can between the four of them every morning. They definitely need the wet food, but they mostly eat the dry.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2024-01-07 12:49 am (UTC)(link)

That works. Yeah, exactly. We go through so much dry food... even with only two (and an extra who isn't supposed to eat it...)

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2024-01-08 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)

Man, I'm having to buy regular cat food and kitten food (as per the vet) and everyone eats everyone else's food. I'll be happy to get them off the kitten food in June — it's making Violet fat. 🤣

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2024-01-09 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)

Hahahha I'm sure. When Hades was a kitten, we mixed the two cat foods together which kept the weight down on all of them.

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2024-01-09 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)

That makes sense. The kittens stayed in my room for the first few weeks so their kitten food is in my room, the regular cat food is downstairs. So, depending on the time of day, they get one or the other.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2024-01-27 12:38 am (UTC)(link)

That makes a lot of sense.


I'm waiting to get a new animal when all of the current ones are gone.

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2024-01-29 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)

Yup. And since I can have anywhere from no to all four cats in my room while I sleep, it makes sense to keep it there. Violet mows at me to refill the kittens' bowl when I get up, and then she mows more when I get downstairs because it's time for second breakfast (aka their wet food).


I don't blame you there.

[identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com 2024-02-08 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)

I keep the cats' food in my room, but that's more because the dog can't get to it. (There's a chain on my door so the cats can get in, but the dog cannot.)


Especially since I have my sister's cat still.

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2024-02-08 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)

Makes sense to me. Some dogs will eat anything.

Cat food is apparently tastier than dog food.
