Cooler weather = more activity

[catland]

The weather is nice again, back up into the 80's (27-30 C). Which means that I don't see much of the kitties once again. That's what happens when you have a cat door.

(we'll know that the weather is colder the day we wake up to a "4-cat" morning )

You speak the truth like nothing before. I call my cats heat mongers...cause as soon as it gets a little nippy, I have newly found "friends". I can't move in bed because I get suitcased in by cats! Good thing I have cats rather than lions, I would get smooshed!!

Well, it has finally cooled off and Edwina, being an avid reader of Pettalk decided its time to be more active! This morning after she performed her back yard check from the screen porch she came back in and had a wrestling match with my gym bag. Jump, roll, kick. It was like two kittens wrestling except Edwina was the clear winner. My bag is COVERED in cat hair.

Then it was time to attack her favorite mousie. All of this required a great deal of noise -- as I was still suppose to be sleeping!

Then she pushed open the bathroom door where my husband was showering so the light in there would shine directly in my eyes.

Then she went for a nap.

That is so typical. They do everything they can think of to get you up, then when you finally can't take it anymore and get up, they're ready for a nap.

I noticed it was getting cooler because Peanut jumped in bed in the middle of the night. Tubby sleeps with me all the time. He'd be in bed with me if it was 105 degrees out. But in the summer Peanut will normally sleep on the runner which is on top of cool tile. Of course then we have to walk on the cool tile so we don't step on her because she blends in so well in the dark, completely defeating the purpose of the runner. Anyway, Peanut will only sleep with me when it's cool. So it was about 2:00 am this morning and I get this little brown creature climbing all over me. It's not enough to just jump on the bed and sleep next to me. Nooooo she has to sleep on top of me, even when I'm sleeping on my side. This takes a little bit of balancing on her part, so it takes awhile for her to settle in, and by that time I'm fully awake. Then I can't get to sleep because I'm afraid of moving and tipping her off. Finally I rolled onto my back so she got a nice flat place on my tummy to lay. Then I think her little motor put me to sleep because the next thing I knew the alarm was going off and Peanut was nowhere to be found.

Still not much more activity, but we've been busy and not around much, so maybe we'll get some action this weekend when we're home.

Yesterday, I was sitting on the couch next to our kitty, Jan. She is a Dr Jekyll/Mr. Hyde kitty, and you never know which one she'll be at any given moment.

I put her on my lap, expecting her to stay for maybe a minute or two before leaving - but she settled in and stayed for 10 minutes!

We figured that she knows that she needs to be nice because it's getting cold again. (or maybe it's because we haven't turned the furnace back on for the season and she wanted the warmth)

I sure like the nice version of her.
