It’s been a while since I dedicated a whole entry to the boys. Well, let me catch you up on a few things…. The boys have been especially loving lately. I think that in their little cat minds, they are trying to curry favor with me. After all, Jerome was here and then he was gone. Even though they really did not want him here, it must have set their minds to wondering if they were next to go out the door and not come back.
Both McGyver and Mojoe have been picking up their toys and putting the away. That is if “away” means that they have all ended up in the bedroom at the foot of my bed. I don’t know if they were doing inventory to see if anything had gone missing or if they were getting their things out of the main room in case I needed to vacuum or had company over. In either case, all of their worldly goods are piled at the foot of the bed.
They still play with the stuff all day but when it’s lights out, it all gets brought into the bedroom. And, they keep adding to the pile of stuff too. They are little thieves. I find pens, small objects of art, paperclips, magnets, plastic forks, plastic bags, q-tips, you name it. If they can pick it up, they add it to the pile.
One morning, I found my cell phone on the floor. Good thing they haven’t figured out how to open it and actually make calls. I guess they would call 1-800-i-want-catnip, or 1-800-give-me-a-treat, or maybe even one of those racy sites that speaks catonese so they could order all sorts of paraphanalia. (Of course Mojoe would do the dialing, he seems to be the smarter of the two. And, McGyver would do the talking because he has a bigger vocabulary.)
Good thing they don’t have access to my bank account or my visa number! I might come home to almost anything.
Of course they still wrestle and chase eachother. They are getting to be pretty good at sneak attacks and hit and runs. McGyver is always trying to lure Mojoe into a trap by calling him to “come look” at something. But, Mojoe is not fooled on bit. He waits McGyver out unitl McGyver gives up and just comes up and slaps him side the head. Then the fight is on again.
Both of them are trying to look especially handsome to me. They will call me and then when I respond, will lay down and roll over to show me how strong and handsome they are. If one thinks the other is showing him up, then they start bringing me things. They are especially huggy kitties but they do like to be petted and like to have their heads rubbed. While I am here, they like to be close to me. I am always in their sights. That makes me feel good too.
