20Jun20: Red alert!

The kitty brothers rest at their posts when…

…Dougy’s “horns” pop up! Andy sees what Dougy sees, and the hunt is on!

Dougy follows the miller, hoping it will land soon, which…

…it does, following its instinct to go to the light. Andy’s already there, and eventually catches the little bugger. You have to take my word on that because that action happens when I clear off that little hair fluttering at the bottom of the second video. Of course! Andy’s moment of glory and I miss it!

 

19Jun20: endless millers…

Who worries about the state of the world when there are millers bugging your kitty impulses? Andy eventually starts the hunt when the miller lands by the end table. RAWR!

18Jun20: more millers to drive us all a wee bit crazy…

Andy’s minding his business when…

…Dougy piques his curiosity: it’s another miller, and Dougy’s on the hunt! The quick move to the end table from the television still isn’t fast enough to give Andy a role in this hunt, but he watches Dougy on the chance the miller will flush out and fly by his murderous paws!

He watches intently…

…then thinks he sees the miller fly off. Dougy’s still sure it’s hiding among clutter on the floor. This hunt continues because the miller outwitted the kitty boys today!

 

 

 

17June20: a test…

Andy keeps blocking the captions on foreign movies. Sunday night, I shooed him away from his perch in front of the television at least seven times. Later, I felt ashamed and hoped he doesn’t skip the spot permanently. I turned the television on to test if he’d come back.

Yes! Later, he was more than happy to block closed captioned programming, which is less irritating since I usually hear it well enough to follow the program. When the program isn’t in English, though, kitty must go!

16Jun20: Dougy stops by for important kitty business…

Dougy stopped by for important kitty business…

20200614_155023

…which can only mean…

…it’s time for a kitty bath! He needs to be tidy for his next play time with brother Andy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15Jun20: a nice morning…

Andy anticipates a kitty visit…

… under the Scottish ancestors’ gaze.

“Hi, brother!” Dougy scratches out an invitation to Andy to do that crazy cat thing where they chase each other through the apartment because, well, “cat”!

That was fun, then Andy stops by the end table. “You know the routine by now, Doug (the human).”

“That’s it! That’s the spot!” >Purr! Purr!Purr!<

Of course, a nap tops it off!

 

 

 

14Jun20: a relaxed moment…

Dougy tidies up while Andy…

…plays at sweetness and… oops! 

13Jun20: temperamental kitty boy…

Andy doesn’t like me to stick my hand or a finger in the side hole of the kitty tree.

Miller season 2014.

Anyone with cats is familiar with the sense you are not alone.

12June20: Andy’s day…

Hey, he’s a kitty! What did you expect?

11Jun20: Andy tolerates no funny business…

20200610_071727

Andy is a serious kitty. He doesn’t put up with any funny business.

Ouch!
