Georgia and Gemini

I know it looks like they are happy and having a good time but Georgia has a very heavy paw on Gemini holding her down. They are cute from this angle though aren't they? And who cares if they have a paw on them?

Cuddling

Lately the cats have decided they like each other. Perhaps it's all the playing and they are bonding well. The other night I went upstairs and all three were on the bed touching each other. Gemini had her head on Chey's back and Georgia was right there pressed against her back. Usually one is off by themselves but it's nice that Cheysuli is starting to fit in with the other two.

They are coming up on their big move and I"m glad they'll have each other for comfort. I wonder how loud they will be on the drive? Perhaps I should put in a poll..

Gemini in the Kitty Condo

I came home at lunch today and Gemini was half in and half out of her kitty condo. She was snoozing on the floor but it looked so funny to see her there. I have a photo but I have to wait to get it uploaded so I can post it. Technology!

I did find a way to get 30 seconds more time to make the bed after it's been stripped. I bury Gemini and Cheysuli in the covers that I'm not using and that's a quick game. At least I can get up to the flat sheet on the bed before they come back to keep me from putting the bed together. Maybe the bed is too neat and that's why Gemini was in the condo?

Belle

Belle is my friend Kathy's chihuahua. She enjoyed chasing the cats around. The cats weren't pleased. Chey kept coming back down and looking at her and then allowing herself to be chased back up the stairs. Under the bed, Georgia hissed and growled. Belle's learned to stay away from her as she's gotten her nose swiped.

Poor Gemini was frightened by the dog and hid on top of the dresser, as flattened out as she could get. I should note that poor Gemini is twice as large as Belle...

Georgia to the Rescue

Last night in the nightly game of chase between Gemini and Cheysuli, Chey had Gemini on her side. There was a small squeak or growl from one cat--it sounded to me like Chey--perhaps she was excited--and suddenly Georgia leaped off my lap and stood in front of the two with her front paws shoulder width apart, ears slightly flattened, but not so much to indicate she was threatened, but rather that she meant business. Had she been human, she would have had her hands on her hips and chin down down with her eyebrows raised and not smiling.

At any rate, Gemini took that moment to run under a chair slightly behind Geogia (but not directly behind her) and Chey decided to sit down, eyes down cast. Georgia stood there for a moment and I watched until I felt I wanted to get up. Then suddenly they were all in the kitchen with me as if the incident had never happened. I can't help but think that Georgia saw Gemini somehow threatened (though given that Gemini outweighs Cheysuli by at least two pounds now, I'm not sure about that threat) and stepped in to stop whatever was going on. I had to laugh at the posture. I also had to laugh that Chey looked like a child who had just been chastized.

I guess there's no doubt who rules the roost here.

Chase

Perhaps it's the weather and the sun. Perhaps it's just that they've been stuck with each other too long. I don't.

But lately, CHASE has been the name of the game. Gemini chases Chey. Georgia chases Gemini. Gemini chases Georgia. Chey chases Gemini. Chey chases Georgia. Georgia chases Chey. Gemini chases Chey and knocks Georgia off the sofa... imagine where that ended?

Silly cats are running amok! I have no idea what's gotten into them but every time I turn around (or rather look up) someone is chasing someone else. Unlike my beloved Simone, no one wants to play chase with me...

Gemini and Georgia

Here's a nice photo of the cats hanging out together. Well, maybe it's Gemini being a little rambunctious and Georgia putting her in her place.
