Fascination [Part 2]

The day after Mika's window-yelling stint, Mochi decided that her sis isn't so crazy after all and that there really IS something incredibly fascinating about the curtain rod/door frame on the sliding door.

I've decided that they are both crazy.

Window Fascination

WindowFascination-01
It's a kitty!

WindowFascination-02
No wait... Am I seeing double?

WindowFascination-03
We were in for some happy back yard admiring when...

WindowFascination-06
Mika took a sudden fascination with the top of the sliding door.
(What is she looking at? Who knows. I checked. Nothing unusual was there.)

WindowFascination-05
Meanwhile, Mochi scoots off to the bed, bored by Mika's weird behavior.

WindowFascination-04
Meow! Meow! I SWEAR there's something THERE! MEOW!
(This went on for a good 20 minutes at least, with her pacing the back of the futon.)

WindowFascination-07
*YAWN* Mika. This is getting old. Come snuggle.

WindowFascination-08
But I could've sworn I...

WindowFascination-09
Oh, okay. You're right. This IS better.

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. :)

Unexpected Attack

UnexpectedAttack01
Hi. I'm a sleepy Mika, all snuggles and purrs.

UnexpectedAttack04
You are absolutely no help pointing that blinding flashy box at us.

UnexpectedAttack05
Moooochi. Muh face ish not a pillow.

UnexpectedAttack06
That's better. Purrrr....

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.
