Austen went into my car in the garage the other day and took these photos of Grace and her boys, all over my car! Austen was inside the car; the cats were outside.
Grace and Ruse were snoozing peacefully next to each other the other evening, when Audace decided to join them -- that is, barge right in between them, lie down, and stretch out ... and stretch ... and stretch! All three just snoozed away for another hour or more! They do like to be close together!
Ruse and Audace, doing the Ballet of the Kitty Grass! Funny little guys!!
Audace and Ruse have discovered what a wonderful play place the garage is -- with the big door down, of course! They love to wander around and sniff the smells of the outside world that are out there. Making little cat footprints all over the car is another favorite activity, especially if the car is wet and their footprints are rather muddy! (That's as muddy as these two get!!)
Ruse and Audace really love their new treat -- kitty grass on the kitchen island. Well, it's the only thing that can be kept on the kitchen island these days; they'll knock off anything else, even each other sometimes!
After a strenuous day running up and down the stairs and all over the place at Austen's house, the kitten-cats had to hide and snooze. (If they don't hide to snooze, then the younger kids find them!!) So here they are, hiding (they think) under the partially decorated Linehan tree!
It's taken all week to get this computer back together. My son-in-law, Ken, ran the recovery CD which essentially wiped out everything on the hard drive and reinstalled Windows. Then of course, Windows had to update itself umpteen times -- and one nice result is the installation of IE7. I like the tabbed browsing feature best of all! Then Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday were spent getting all the programs re-installed --the ones I care about, that is. I also was praying that all the data backed up on my Seagate external drive would work -- and it all did. Hooray!
I'm sure happy to have everything back ... and cannot thank Ken enough for his patience and know-how.
While Audace and Ruse were visiting the Linehans yesterday, they were very gracious about helping to sort out some Christmas garland -- shredding, biting, and just generally spreading it all over the floor in the dining room!
Yesterday around noon, all three cats were having a ripping good time, racing around the living and family rooms, in and out of the play cubes, up and down the climbing toy. They were VERY funny. In the first photo, you can just barely see Ruse's face as he peeked out from under the red cube. His little toy is right there, too.
After eating and drinking, Ruse and Audace make themselves quite at home on the kitchen island -- which can no longer be used for food preparation unless these guys are absent for some reason! They do like to hop up there and relax and clean up after a good snack!
... and with photos, now, too.
