New S-toy! Yayyy!

I finally couldn't stand it - the broken S-toy just really bothered me, although Audace and Ruse seemed to think it was fine. Anyway, I couldn't resist getting a new one. I missed the beautiful, perfect S-curve this toy is meant to have! Grandbeans helped me get the new one yesterday - we had a discussion about color - it had to be different from the first one! This one has more gray in it. Audace and Ruse don't really care! They just love it!! Well, mostly Audace - he's pretty hoggish about this - doesn't share well!

And here's a wonderful little video of Audace breaking in his new toy!

Tummy Tuesday

Our beautiful Grace shows off her tummy -- a rare occasion!

Audace's owie!

Audace has an owie above his right eye. It's not very visible in the first photo unless you click on it to "biggify"! But it's clearly there in the second photo.

He and Ruse have been tusseling a little too roughly lately, I guess. (Grace's claws aren't long enough or sharp enough to cause something like this.)

What a little toughie!!




UPDATE (Sunday morning, Dec 21): Audace's owie looks much better today. Gotta get Grandbean Austen to help clip all their claws TODAY!!

UPDATE #2 (Monday, Dec 22): All claws were trimmed late yesterday afternoon, and the owie is healing up just fine. Whew! Gotta keep better watch on those little needle-sharp claws, obviously!

Still trying to keep warm!

They just look like a tangled pile of kitties! Hard to tell where one ends and the other begins!

If you go to my other blog, it'll be clear why they're having such a tough time staying warm, even in the house with the furnace on. A very freaky storm is bringing a light snowfall to the Houston area. Very weird, indeed!

Keeping warm

How Grace, Audace, and Ruse keep warm on cold days and nights -



Ruse isn't very good at finding warm cozy spots on his own. He needs his brother or mommy to help him. Otherwise, he ends up sleeping like a doughnut!

Well used, for sure!

Remember back in September when we first got this wonderful toy (scratcher, lounge chair, whatever you want to call it!)? Oh, that beautiful S-curve! Ruse and Audace and Grace admired it and loved it ...





... and Audace loved it so much he broke it! Well, it's not really broken, I guess. Just bent! Almost flattened at one end!!


But they still all love it, poor thing!
