My cats are like toddlers and they are in the midst of their terrible two's right now. They now the word no and what it means (in Finnish) but they either ignore me, or go right back whatever it was they were doing before. I have my old computer hooked on my TV in the bedroom so I can watch american DVD's and whatever shows I have on my computer. It's on a little table and Dunkin Donuts likes to stand on it and rub her face against the edges of the TV. Problem is, she's standing on my computer and I tell her no constantly. She jumps off, and as soon as I turn my back, she's at it again. Same with breaking and entering my drawers. I can tell her no and spray her face with water as many times as I want and she still goes right back to it. Any suggestions as to what I can do to prevent this? I'm thinking of getting lime or lemon juice and adding that to the water, they are not fans of citrus.
Brooklyn likes to jump on top of high things, whether the coat rag, on top of curtains or the doors. Every morning I come out of my bedroom to find my scarfs and hats and mittens on the floor after he's been hanging out at the coat rag.
My cats love being at the balcony. This is Brooklyn checking in.
Every once in a while I I look at this website for stuff for the cats. The heater beds sounded like a great idea, because they love to hang out by the heaters during the winter, but they didn't use these until maybe 2-3 months after I bought them.
My cats believe in free-raising (don't remember what the term is in english right now). Basically it means that every surface and nook and place in here is free for them to use as they see fit, which means that if and when I eat at my kitchen table, there's always audience ready to bounce. This is DD being stealth.
Brooklyn is my care bear. He has to have hugs at least 5 times a day or he might not survive. He's so cuddly. It's one of the reasons I can't sleep in the same room with them. At some point during the night Brooklyn will sit on my chest, purr really loudly and start licking my face. And when he's not doing that, he's practicing for cat agility and jumping on and off the bed. I think licking my face is his way of giving kisses, because I kiss the space between their eyes.
No wonder my shirts are always full of cat hair, even when I've used the fabric brush and tape on them! They use my jackets as their personal climbing wall!
Brooklyn being cute.
Dunkin Donuts is an independent woman who doesn't need hugs often. It's maybe once a week that she comes to sit on my lap by herself and it usually happens just before I'm supposed to leave for work. What's being late a little when you can get hugs from this fur ball?
Yesterday morning before 8:30am Dunking Donuts had gotten into my lap TWICE. I think she approves of these long weekends and me being at home and not rushing out soon after I wake up. Easter can't be bad if the first day you get plenty hugs early. It seems that DD would be more social if I was home more.
Enjoying the outdoors.
Going to the bathroom is a family affair. If I close the door Brooklyn is sure to come and open it. I don't understand the allure of a bathroom but for the cats it's a must.
Of all the space and all the stuff I've bought for them, this is their absolute favorite. So much so that sometimes they can't wait for their turn and have to lay on it together.
The doors to my walk in closet and linen closet don't close properly and I don't want the cats to get into either one, so I had to do something about it. First I only had the upper one but when Brooklyn figured out how to wiggle it open (it's on my eye level) I had to get another one.
I love Dunking Donuts' stomach fur. It's so long and fluffy and silky smooth. I don't necessarily love it on my sheets and clothes and sofas and chairs and tables and rugs and...and...and...but that's the price you pay for having mid long haired cats.
Can't touch this! I can see and hear Brooklyn mocking me every time he's on top of a door and I can't reach him.
Brooklyn's just so cute!
Not the expensive cat beds but the 1€ plastic containers!
Dunkin Donuts being cute.
Dunking Donuts trying to blend in with the black sheets. Brilliant idea when you have cats with white fur!
Yogurt is their absolute favorite human food. I can't open a can in the bedroom without the cats hearing it in the living room. After that they stare at me and try to get a lick if I turn my back. Survival of the fittest and sneakiest in this household when it comes to yogurt. And you'd think that orange flavored wouldn't be a hit.
Why did you lock me outside?
Cats wanted to take pictures with me.
Brooklyn coming for hugs and headbutts.
Bathroom fun.
Aren't they just the cutest?
