Here's a more recent picture of Gemini. I just can't believe how big she is getting!

Snoozing

The cats love it when I sleep in, usually. However the other day everyone left the bed. Gemini and Chey seem to be having it out over who is second in command to Georgia's rule and they spent more time on the bed fighting than being cute.

It's too bad really. Gemini is such a little lover and Chey is just so fun. Gemini likes to curl up in the chair next to me while I am online. Chey prefers to wander in front of me and distract me from the screen. It's possible that Chey only likes me when I am ignoring her and she wants to prove that I am not just ignoring her, but it's hard to say!

Don't stretch with cats

So there I was, on the floor, reaching for my toes. My left hip has been tight and that was stretching and it hurt a bit more than usual. So there is Gemini, in front of my face, calmly washing the tip of her hind toe, with her leg in the air.

Georgia watching me turned to lick the tip of her tail.

Cheysuli rolled around on her back do bends that even the most accomplished yogi would admire.

Show offs.

The vibration sensor

I want to know how this sensor that I put on the counter can sense when I walk into the kitchen? I am not an elephant but let me walk past it too quickly and it starts to sound.

This would be mildly annoying but not enough to be frustrated with, except for the fact that Chey (the reason for the sensor on the counter) can leap on the counter next to it and lick off the dirty silverware and pans in the sink and it does not go off.

Basically I guess this means that my breathing is heavier than her entire body. I feel like a cow.

More doctored photos

There I was in my treatment room and I got my photo taken. It's been doctored. I don't think Gemini has ever been there--after all people have allergies! And I certainly don't have my Iggy picture on the wall! But it looks great there!

Of knees and cats

I took a hot shower tonight after coming home from skiing. My knee hurt and I thought this would be a nice thing. The cats decided to listen to the clock radio. While I was in the shower they stepped on the play button for the radio and suddenly there are people in my house. There I am, showering away, with soap in my hair wondering WHO is in my house as I don't recognize the voices talking...

Fortunately I did not injure my knee any more jumping out of the shower to see who was there. It was also fortunate that the cat who did this was no where around as I was quite enjoying my moment of deliciously hot water running down a very sore knee.

I'm sure that Chey and Georgia will be sorry that they aren't allowed on my legs tonight as I'm sore enough that I'm unlikely to appreciate any more pressure on the knee joint. Gemini has always been a sit near you, not on you sort of cat. Nevertheless, she is quite the little love bug!

Maybe she's just cold

So after annoying me with her meowing yesterday, Chey is now rubbing up against me and purring. Of course, this morning I had a leisurely morning and I was curled up under the blankets and turned up the heat. Chey was enjoying sitting on the nightstand that's near the heater and she preened there. Her ears were even warm, which is unusual.

All day she's been quiter than she has been. I wonder if her noisiness was just about being cold?

For all her extra fur, even Gemini gets cold, but she crawls under the covers, which Chey won't do. I wonder if it feels too much like being trapped?
