12May20: What time is it?

Untitled

Andy is quite happy to sleep on top of the recliner back…

…until his internal alarm tells him it’s…

…”Kitty Food Time”! “Dang it, Doug [the human]!  I’m pointed in the “Kitty Food Time” direction. What do I have to do to get you to head to the kitchen to prepare my kitty food?!”

11May20: my little angels…

Sleepy kitty boys behave the best! 

10May20: “Hello, brother!”

Most of the time, Andy (on the left) and Dougy get along fine. The recent kitty lounger squabbles seem to be done. Here, Dougy gives his brother a polite kitty greeting…

…then leaves for important kitty business elsewhere.

09May20: I approach the fangs of death, warily…

Andy allows me to “scritch” his chin when I approach him just so…

…a requirement that varies from time to time. If I get it right, we both have a good time!

Andy enjoys it almost as much as when he’s cleaning his “precious”!

08May20: gmail fail me now…

Periodically, gmail quirks refuse to allow photos to be received from my smartphone. It is frustrating, makes me sad because that’s how I update this blog. (I’ll never use that feature of my smartphone to modify a photo with googly eyes, whatever, again. I promise!)

After lots of futzing around, the damn, erm, dam broke. These photos of Andy checking for bunnies or fellow cats in the night outside the apartment looked better in b&w, so that’s what you get today.

That and this Andy headshot without the googly eyes.

07May20: when in Rome…

Exhausted. Such a day. The kitty boys’ groomer changed house rules and no longer grooms kitties, no matter how adorable. They’d already missed the March appointment because of the COVID-19 shutdown, so are quite, um, needing that grooming appointment! Then I got a message saying they recommended another groomer who actually has a mobile service that comes to the client’s home and grooms the pets in a trailer “office” pulled by a pickup. The new groomer was contacted, is delighted to have the kitty boys, but, because of the crush in appointment time availability, won’t be able to get them in till early July. Good enough! The kitty boys will be very much in need of grooming by them, and I will be happy to have the groomer coming to me instead of me taking them to the groomer’s. The service is more expensive, though that is to be expected since it is  mobile service.

Andy knocked my laptop onto the floor awhile ago, breaking the hinge. It’s been getting worse, little by little, and now is tragically worse yet. Of course, all this happened during the COVID-19 mess. The place I bought it and would have taken it for repairs (if possible) or replacement is in Scottsbluff, which has the most people sick with the disease and where, in the store where I bought it, one of the first people found to have the disease. As long as I can charge it and the electronics hold up, I guess I’ll just get along with it. What a pain!

06May20: Dougy takes a chance…

Dougy stops by the end table and enjoys a little heat off the light. Then…

…Andy shows up. He is incredulous! What does Dougy think he’s doing on the end table?

After a little posturing, though, Andy decides to head out to the guest bedroom. Dougy leaves the end table a short time later. No squabbles today! 

Cinco de Mayo 2020: Don’t do it!

Andy tends to be tolerant of others when he’s on the recliner arm, so why…

…is Dougy alarmed?

Geez! Doesn’t Doug (the human) know Andy love, love, loves to extend his “Murderous Death-Dealing Pointy Claws from Hell and Beyond” on innocent humans who attempt to please this kitty boy with personal attention involving, um, the foot?

=(^+^)=

No humans were harmed in making this post, though Doug (the human) did pay especial attention to the status of Andy’s claws. 

04May20: Do something!

Do something, Andy! Anything so I have something for today’s post!

20200503_023641

“No! Yer not the boss of me!”

03May20: getting along…

It can be done! The kitty boys are in close proximity, yet neither acts like he wants to beat up his brother.

Wow! Both kitty boys feel comfortable taking a nap when the other brother is inches away!

I hope Andy isn’t plotting mayhem!
