23Jul21: Andy and Dougy at play and an incident…

 Andy and Dougy love, love, loved it when my late brother Dick came for his annual visit!

No one admits to anything around here….

Play time for Andy and Dougy!

22Jul21: Andy and Dougy at home….

What’s Dougy’s plan for Andy?

Classic Dougy!

Andy joins Dougy for a bit of back door entertainment..

21Jul21: Andy and Dougy being cats…of course!

Head rubs are always welcome here!

The only thing I saw in the video that was naughty was the table incident…!

A little bit of territorial business between the kitty boys!

 

 

20Jul21: more videos

Mostly they got along.

“Where’s the birds?”

The back door has surprises.

Oops! Poop caught in his tail feathers – dang that floofiness! – so Doug had to dump Dougy half way to work it out of his hair. Neither of us had a good time.

15Jul21: Dougy

On this sad day one year ago, Dougy died. I named him after me, a family in joke too involved to explain. I don’t feel like telling a joke today anyway. He was a comedian, an explorer, a loveable kitty boy who is missed by his brother Andy and me each and every day.

14Jul21: for the birds…

Lots of excitement for Dougy!

Now it’s Andy’s turn for excitement!

Then the kitty boys missed a “good one”…!

 

13Jul21: some birdwatchers on the job; boxes, boxes, boxes…

Andy gives up on watching the birds, then a big juicy American robin stops by the bird bath.

Cleaning up!

I eventually learned boxes a nd cats go well together!

Twenty minutes at the back door, both Andy and Dougy eventually spend door time.

 

 

 

12Jul21: purr!…purr!…purr!

Andy purrs in his sleep sometimes. Don’t you wish you could know what he dreamt about just then…?

Cute, but the snoring is a result of being born with a “smooshed” Persian face.

Cats like the birds, too. Hee! Hee!

 

11Jul21: …including Dougy cleaning up after a bath

Poor kitty! The kitty boys had lots of baths as kittens, thanks to an intestinal bug caught eating an infected grasshopper. Of course, Persian “floof” also catches “stuff”, and water is the easiest way to get it out of a kitty boy’s fur. It also pointed to the need for hair cuts for hygienic reasons.

Dougy had a better day in this video!

Dougy in front, of course. 

 

 

08Jul21: more Andy & Dougy kitten videos

I have to admit: I teared up when Dougy makes an early appearance in this video. Gad, he was a cutey! And he was ornery from an early age. Andy was really cute, too, but he always was the “nice” kitten.

You probably have seen this one more than once if you’ve followed this blog very long. It is one of my Top Ten Favorites videos of the kitten brothers. Oh well! It’s still fun watching a naughty Dougy start his career as a destroyer of furniture and Andy his of being a good kitty!

“Oldtimers”, again, will be familiar with this other Top Ten Favorite. Andy and Dougy were exceptionally cute in this video, and I feel joy seeing the kitten brothers when they were so young and playful! They continued to be close throughout life. Andy and I miss our little buddy, Dougy, still. He was a fun kitty boy, a little comedian and explorer.
