6am Adventure

The cats have kept Luc and I up all night since we got them. Last night was a real treat. Koy has taken to jumping on the fridge. I have to get him down, and spray him with water. I keep having this nightmare that the fridge is going to fall over. So we put things on the fridge to bar him from getting up there. He stopped for a couple weeks, but within the last three days, he's doing it again. Last night, we heard a LOUD noise. I started freaking thinking that the fridge was falling over. Lucas jumped out of bed like a hot tamale and started jumping in circles saying "what! what!". Thanks for saving me Lucas ;) We got up, and it turns out that Koy had jumped off the fridge, hitting his carrier on the top and sent it bouncing around. Koy and Boots KNEW they were in trouble. After Lucas and I had scoped things out, the started to slink out from under the bed, with big eyes. I clapped my hands, not very hard, and they both GUNNED it back under the bed. They stayed there for a little while, and i saw one of them starting to come out again, made a sudden movement, and he dashed back under the bed. They were quiet for a half an hour before they started their incessant meowing. The whole night, they are meowing. They do not stop!

I'm still makng fun of Lucas' hopping around in a circle last night. Eheheh.

Okay, this post made me laugh out loud; I can't get the picture of Lucas hopping out of bed and running around in circles out of my head. Sounds like you have your hands full with those 2 cats. What are you doing with them when you go to Seoul - pawning them off on some unsuspecting friends for a couple of days I suppose?

It's still cold here, and I'm sick of the snow. Can't wait for spring and some warm sunshine.

Love you
Aunty Janet

We have large bowls for food and water. They will be fine on their own, and they can meow all they want without us getting frustrated at them. The people who had them before us went a week, and they were fine. We're also going to look after Henchi, our friends' downstairs cat.

My suggestion is to put the cats in their carrier(s) at night in the bathroom. They should soon get the idea!

I don't know about this cat bit Erin. The only thing I think it just might be preparing you for is motherhood.
Am sure you don't have that in mind! Oh well. at least your nights are not boring. I really laughed when I read it too. Dare I sign my name. Anon

When Shamus was a puppy we had to put him in his crate at night. Otherwise he would destroy the house and keep us awake all night. Trust me, he soon learnt!!!

Love the story about Luc. I am still laughing thinking about it. Sounds like something Uncle Dave would have done.

I believe your Mom is mailing a parcel off to you this week. I have included a few items for you and Luc. Hope you enjoy.

Love Ya

I would do that, but there is only one cat carrier, and they were squishe dinto it before, and I swear that boots has gotten fatter. His tummy sways side to side when he walks :D But don't mention it to him, he gets offended.
