Andy snoops. So this is what was in that box! (That and another book, kitty.)
In the dark of night, Andy returned to the new box. Still works for my kitty boy, but not so hot for photography…!
There’s that sweet Andy face! Had to dig it out from another day.
Dougy doesn’t want you to forget his sweet face, so here is an old photo of the handsome boy!
=(^+^)=
Whew! Didn’t break my current record for continuous posts, but I’ll try to do better tomorrow. Time flies!
They are sweet boys, Doug! They both have beautiful eyes. 🙂
Thanks! That definitely is one of the charms of Persian kitties!
Andy is playing sleeping cat but this is only an appearence . Dougy has really beautiful eyes ! What a look !

LOL! And Dougy says “Meow!” I agree with you about his eyes.
Boxes are key elements in a cat’s life !
It’s a thing about cats I didn’t know until I had some! LOL!
In New Zealand thousands of copies have been sold of a very popular children’s book called “My Cat Likes To hide In Boxes” first published in 1978. But yes all cat people know that cats LOVE boxes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Cat_Likes_to_Hide_in_Boxes
It is available here, too, for a very reasonable price. The reviews are almost 100% five stars (the highest rank)! I imagine many readers will want to check it out, especially those with young children or grandchildren!
Wonderful ! Lynley Dodd, one of the co authors of this book has since written many wonderful children’s books about a scruffy little mutt called Hairy Maclary, also his neighbours including wicked Burmese Slinky Malinky, and the ferocious tom Scarface Claw. All her books are wonderful
They sound delightful!
They are ! Parents enjoy reading them too !
I can appreciate that!
Hi! Dougy and Andy are certainly beautiful kitties. Are they actually related? Do they like catnip? I’m asking because I have 2 cats, not related, a male and female. My boy really goes crazy for catnip, but the girl is kind of indifferent. I’m wondering if it’s more of a male thing. They both love boxes 📦, though! Take care and have a good week.

Pam, Andy and Dougy are brothers from the same litter of five. One died at birth, and they have another brother and a sister who went to the same family in South Dakota. Reportedly, the sister and brother don’t get along, but Andy and Dougy (mostly!) do. Andy love, love, loves ‘nip,, but Dougy is less interested in it. This apparently is typical – not all cats get a buzz off of it, and the cat’s sex isn’t a factor as far as I understand it. Yes, the box thing does seem to be more universal! Dougy love, love, loves ALL boxes, plastic tubs, anything he can climb in. Andy is a little more particular, but the most recent box (with the tall flaps) seems to better suit him than others. I have enlargements of both kitty boys hanging in the front room, and both are in boxes, of course! Curiously enough, considering Persian kitty eyes are definitive, I chose photos where neither kitty boy’s eyes are open. Andy’s yawning, and Dougy is in his little self-satisfied little Chinese emperor pose.
Love the close up pictures, face closeups are so sweet.
Me, too! I totally agree with you, though those shots are the single hardest to get. You know cats: it is rude to stare at another cat, so they avert their eyes when I try to get close up. Every cat face close up you see on this blog usually is the product of several efforts, most tossed out to get that one with the cute kitty face. I have an easier time with Andy than Dougy getting those shots, though I have no sense of why!
Hello Doug – this is HIS box ! – amitiés et caresses aux kitties
Andy thinks they can share it, and so far they have been pretty good about sharing! Andy et Dougy envoient des remerciements pour les caresses!
