Boxes Are Exciting

NewBox01
Oooh what's this?

NewBox02
A wrestle-inducing device, apparently. I want it! No it's mine!

NewBox03
Mika succeeds in getting inside.

NewBox04
Come ooouuut Miiikaaa!

NewBox05
Okay, Mochi. You got me.


Also, for what it's worth, we're enjoying having a litter locker, even if we've only had it about a day. :)

Mika and Mochi's First Christmas

Mika and Mochi celebrated Christmas morning with a generous dose of catnip soaked toys and tower. It was fun for all four of us. (As I write this, Mika is curled up in the crook of my arm purring like crazy with a little kitty smile on her face. Soooo cute.) Now on to the pictures!

Xmas01-Mika
Mika managed to rip her catnip-soaked ball/feather toy in half within about 5 minutes.

Xmas02-Mochi
Oh the happiness.

Xmas03-Mika
OMG catnip!

Xmas04-MikaMochi
They had fun pawing, rolling in, and licking it.

Xmas06-MikaMochi
The wrapping paper and tissue is more fun than the actual cat toys, obviously.

Xmas07-MikaMochi
Though somehow their favorite pink mouse ended up in the mix.
(They are such girly girls - they love pink toys).

Xmas05-Mika
Can I interest you in a Christmas kitty to unwrap?

Spoiled Rotten and Loving It

Mika and Mochi got their Christmas present a couple days early this year. They already have a fabulously huge 70-something inch tall tower but one of Matt's coworkers had a spare cat tower from a cat (that has passed on) that was in great shape so he sent it our way. It's about half the height of their other one but it's "OMG NEW" so the darlings are loving it extra at the moment. It now resides on the upper level of our place, but I was enjoying watching them go crazy over it, so we left it downstairs to start with.

NewTower-01
Attaaaack!

NewTower-02
Must... explore... every... inch!

NewTower-03
Oof! You okay, Mochi?

Thirsty

They just can't resist an unattended glass. Ever.

Peavy Explorations

We took Mika and Mochi to Matt's office to meet some of his coworkers on Friday in Peavy Hall. They had fun hopping around the computer parts and exploring every nook and cranny of the back rooms. The cats and people seemed to have equal amounts of fun.

PeavyTrip-01-MikaMochi
They had a lot to say on the trip over. They love going out but hate the car crate.

PeavyTrip-02-Mochi
Exploring is much better than the car crate.

PeavyTrip-03-Mika
What's over theeerrre?

PeavyTrip-07-Mika
Surplus kitty!

PeavyTrip-04-Mochi
This is a cozy spot.

PeavyTrip-05-Mika
What was that sound?

PeavyTrip-09-Mochi
All wrapped up. Who knew wires could be so comfy?

PeavyTrip-06-MikaMochi
Mom and Dad's coats make great cushions.

Mika and Mochi are little balls of energy. In this instance I think pictures speak louder than words...
