A Picture Story with Toby and Lily

[ScantyNebula]

Ok guys .. I finally got the videos, and I have new pictures! Prepare for the ultimate update! lol

First things first - the videos. They are not really big so dial-up users don't worry. These videos range from their initial meeting to their current wrestling matches! :)

What pretty blue eyes she has!

One funny thing I have noticed about Lily is that girl's got ATTITUDE! lol Ok here's an example. If I play with her with a toy on a string and she catches it in her mouth, if I try to pull it away from her she growls at me. The other night we were eating some chicken and she jumps on the coffee table, swipes a chicken bone, and goes on the floor to eat it. As soon as she saw me coming for it she growled, swiped at me, and moved away with it. lol naughty girl! ;)

Here's Toby "Playing", or otherwise observing Lily's toy. Toby has become more and more lazy as each day passes. I'm thinking its because of the hot weather, poor guy's got a big fur coat.

A nice pose for you all. She's such a cutie.

Toby checks out the sink in the new house. He can just fit in it .. boy is he getting weight put on. tsk tsk We tell him all the time to start excersing like lily does

http://www.nebulaart.com/purrsonal/images/081.jpg

Lily is warming up to Toby, and vice versa. The only problem is, I think Toby likes to play a little rougher than Lily likes to.

http://www.nebulaart.com/purrsonal/images/082.jpg

Yes. I caught them snoozing together. I sneakily ran for the camera! I LOVE this shot. Its so sweet. Hopefully they will keep this up. They are getting along better each day.

And another...

They eat together. How cute!


All in all things are progressing quite smoothly .. they make a bit of a racket during the night running around (which could be a problem cause someone's living under us) we may have to work on that. Aly, she's a doll! :D:D:D She's a little PIGGY too and eats everything in sight , but we'll just keep that to ourselves hehe

Great Pictures Johanna!!! Looks like Lily and Toby are getting along great!!!

[aly]

THANK YOU JOHANNA!!!!

I'm melting at cuteness overload! I am so glad the kitties are warming up to each other. Those snuggle pics are the CUTEST!!!!!

Lily - stop being so naughty with food!!!

Hehe, I just remembered when she was about 3 weeks old, she made my hands look like hamburger meat because she started flailing her arms all around and scratching me every time she had her bottle. What a booger!

OHHHHH I forgot to watch the videos! Weee, off to watch!

[aly]

AWWW! Those videos are sooooo great. I love the one of Lily with daddy :)

I bet once Lily gets closer to Toby's size, she'll play rougher with him. She sure did enjoy playing rough with Skylar, who's half her size! She's so funny. I love it when she puts her ears back and runs sideways. She always did that to Shiloh and Reece.

[slick]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! I just love the videos especially when Lily puffs herself up........so cute!

ROFL!! Everytime she does that I laugh so much! Its hilarious! Did she like licking your hand? She loves doing that. She licks my fingers and nibbles on them .. she especially loves hiding her nose between my fingers .. its so cute :)

[aly]

Yes! She didn't start the licking habit until she was about 10 weeks old. But boy, once she started, she sure hasn't stopped :)

Does she follow you around yet?

[Lorraine]

What GREAT pictures! Unfortunatley, my computer decided to be
stupid this evening, and I can't see the videos right now, but I will try again tommorow. I'm looking forward to seeing them!
What two GORGEOUS kitties you now have!
Lily is so pretty, and Toby is such a cutie pie. He reminds me of my Sammy! :D

[NoahsMommy]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Cuteness overload, big time!!! :D :D :D

This is my most favorite picture:
http://www.nebulaart.com/purrsonal/images/082.jpg

Its just too cute!!! :) :) :)

I'm so glad they are getting along.

[Prairie Purrs]

Toby and Lily are just adorable together! Such a happy PT story! :D

I loved the wrestling videos--paper bags with tails sticking out of them are a pretty common sight around here too. :D

[RockyRoad]

Aww, Toby and Lily are so cute! Glad to hear they are getting along well. Great pics (and videos too)! :)

[popcornbird]

http://www.nebulaart.com/purrsonal/images/083.jpg


This is the CUTEST pic EVER! AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! I'm so glad little Lily could come to live with you! It seems like Toby's got a forever friend! I haven't seen the videos yet, but I will, soon.

[krazyaboutkatz]

The pics and videos are great. :D I'm so glad to hear that Toby and Lily are getting along so well. :)

[wolf_Q]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW what absolutely adorable pictures! I just love the ones of them sleeping next to eachother! Precious! I'm glad they are getting along pretty well! :D

[andrea_NMAggie]

Loved the videos and the pics!! They look like they're settling into "sibling-hood" just fine!!

[iceyshiver21]

OMG!! I loved the Videos!! Lilly you are such a Doll!!

[rg_girlca]

The videos are great and the pictures are so adorable. I love the one where Toby and Lily are sleeping together. Priceless.
I think they are going to land up being great friends.

[Barbara]

I never managed to see any of the videos here on PT:( but I love the pictures.

Toby and Lily have got used to each other in no time -of course they both are young. I don't think Toby could be playing too rough. Maybe Lily will help him to get more exercize:D

Cattitude is what you can see from here in Lily's eyes:D

I simply love them both.

Great pics, and great movies too! Thanks for sharing, Johanna!!:)

[IttyBittyKitty]

I think Scott is hoggin' the (paltry) bandwidth ... download speeds of 400b/sec :eek: :eek:

Will have to see them at work, hehehehe!

The pictures are great though, thanks for posting them! It is good to see Toby and Lily getting along so well! I know in my experience that it is easier to bring a kitten into a one-cat household than it is to bring in an adult cat!

[ChrisH]

I loved the pictures and the videos, and in this picture Lily looks just breathtakingly beautiful!

http://www.nebulaart.com/purrsonal/images/077.jpg

It is great to see her and Toby snuggled up together too, looks like they could end up being great friends! :)

[catlover4ever]

I love these pictures, unfortunately I can not see the videos while I'm at work so I will try to see them when I get home tonight.

Lily is absolutely beautiful and Toby is so very handsome.

I can not make a decision of which picture is my favorite because they are all so great.

[Cataholic]

I simply LOVE the photos, Johanna (he he he...give me my name back.). I think it is so sweet in the one where Lily's little tail is wrapped over Toby's hind foot.

Great pics. Now, to watch the videos...

[ScantyNebula]

Ooh this is so cute! When we woke up this morning, Toby and Lily were asleep right next to each other!! :D

[aly]

:D :D :D :D :D Thats so great that they're becoming fast friends!

I'm not sure if I ever posted this pic, but here's Lily sleeping cuddled with a stuffed animal. Well, she woke up when I took the pic.

And sleeping with "mama kitty"

Actually, I think this weekend I'll make an album on imagestation with every single Lily pic I have. That way you can go through and save the ones you don't have yet if you want to :)

[neko1]

They are absolutely adorable together!:D

[Randi]

I LOVE the pics and the video's, they are cuteness overload!! :)

It's great to see they get along so well - and so quickly!! :eek: Oh, I feel like getting a kitten to keep Fister company.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Video and photos ----simply wonderful!!!! I wonder when Edwina and Eddie will bond like that.....hahahahahahahahahaha!

KITTEN FEVER! Its contagious! C'mon, go adopt a kitten. Everybody's doing it!! :)

[K & L]

These are great! It's amazing how quickly some cats will adjust!

[Tina]

Great Pics!! Toby and Lily are so cute together!!

I couldn't watch the video's for some reason,my computer didn't want to load them. Oh,well I'll try later.

[PayItForward]

I am so pleased for you, cuddling kitties. :D

Great photos.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

The pics and videos are just great! I love in the first wrestling match video...first of all they are on opposite sides of the room, and is by telepathy they decide to play with each other. Then Lily does "combat kitty" up to Toby...and he pretends he doesn't even see her!!! :D :D :D

I'm so glad they're getting along so good already and as for Toby playing rougher than Lily wants to, well, that should change as she gets older and is not so easy for him to dominate. :D

[wolflady]

OMG! Those pictures were just darling!! I'm so glad that Lily and Toby are getting along! I can imagine all of the major changes in her life all in one day! Poor thing! Must have been overload for her! ;) But, I'm glad she arrived safely and is adjusting well. It sure looks like she and Toby will be great siblings! What a good boy Toby is! The videos were great! Her puffyness was so cute and funny! She's just beautiful, and Toby is quite handsome! Congratulations to the newest member and keep those adorable pics coming! That is so cute that they cuddle together while sleeping! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!! ;) :o
**hugs**

[pinkelbows]

What gorgeous kitties you have! I went to Tobey's website and she is something else! :D

[ramanth]

How adorable! :D

Thanks for sharing the pics and video. :)

I LOVE the airplane ears and sideways walking. :D

[koxka]

They are both sooo precious..... what could I add up it hasn't been said yet!?!

Lily looks so much like Koxka !!! She brings me back fond memories :p

Yes, do it! To be a "only child" it's boring :D. Poor Fister ! :D


I never managed to see any of the videos here on PT but I love the pictures.

Barbara, neither do I. What I do is to "Save Link target As" in the computer and watch them afterwards. Hope its works for you too.

[jenfer]

Your babies are sooooooooooooooo cute!!! :D

[Vermontcat]

Great photos and great videos!:D
Your cats are so cute together!:)

[shais_mom]

too cute!
so glad that things are going well!

This is my favorite, although I LOVED every one!!!!!!! They are so cute together, both are beautiful cats. I'm glad they are warming up to eachother well.

PS-In the pic.....Lily's peeking!!!

[HayleyRosie]

Great Photos! I have to go back and watch the videos. I told you it would not take long for them to get along. They are so cute together!

[ScantyNebula]

Thanks for the wonderful comments :) Well they are left home alone again .. I hope things go smoothly. Its so sweet how they are starting to sleep by each other more often now :) And Toby is back to his affectionate ways, and purring a lot more.

[ScantyNebula]

Alyson, did you find it IMPOSSIBLE to eat around Lily?? As soon as I sit to the table, she is jumping up and sticking her nose in whatever I am eating and I keep telling her "No!" and placing her on the floor. Nooo she won't stand for that. Up she jumps again. She is so persistant its not even funny hehe Then Toby joins in to see whats up ... oh my I haven't been able to eat a sensible meal, I'm going to have to put them in the room when its food time! ;)

[HayleyRosie]

Okay Johanna, you have ME in that first video!

[ScantyNebula]

lol Camera shy are we?? hehe ;) ;)

[aly]

YES! She loved crawling all over me when I ate. I would keep putting her on the floor too and she'd eventually get distracted. If I ever ate on the couch, she'd crawl on the back and lick my ear while I ate!

There's a few screws loose in that girl's head when it comes to food, hehehe!

My dad sent me some sweet pics this morning of you and Lily :D :D

[ScantyNebula]

pm them to me! :D

She is a silly girl. I tell her that all the time :D

[Felicia's Mom]

I enjoyed the videos.

I'm glad Toby and Lily are getting along.

[Vio&Juni]

breathtaking pictures! and the videos are very funny. I love when they puff themselves and walk sideways.

[Kirsten]

Unfortunately, the videos don't work for me, but I LOVE the pictures! :)

So are Toby and Lily becoming friends already? :)

It's so cute to see them lying together! :) Lily is such a beautiful little girl, and I love the photo of Toby in the sink! :) He's a handsome boy! :)
