    my little hunter

    max caught his first mouse tonight....ugh! apparently he saw damian outside with a mouse and must have gotten a great idea and went and found one in the basement. boy was he proud of himself and he loved his new toy which he flipped all over the place and growled at anyone who came near him (he...

    i know i haven't been around in a while, sorry, oops. anyway, my sophie was spayed today.

    how did she know?

    so millie decided at 2:30am today that she needed to be fed. she pestered me for at least 30 minutes before i gave in. she would purr directly in my ear, lick my face, stand on my face. i finally stumbled out of bed and in the complete dark found the dry food and the bowl and put some in. then...

    oh, so that's why...

    max is not the most graceful of cats. in fact, i've never seen such a clumsy cat. he falls off things all the time and just has terrible balance. i think i just figured out why, he is an orange kitty with while whiskers. well, i noticed that on side he has one single black wisker. so that must...

    teething already?

    sophie doesn't get all that close to us, but just now i caught a nice big yawn and noticed that she has a double set of upper fangs (as i like to call them, lol). her baby ones don't appear loose and her gums aren't all that red. we'll see next week when she sees the vet anyway and if they are...

    scaredy cat

    when we first got sophie she was a little shy and nervous, but she was starting to do better after a couple weeks of mainly being locked in one room, my room. she got to the point where if someone walked in she wouldn't run off the bed and hide and was playful and even starting to give great...

    pouches and cans

    ok, so seriously, what is the difference? my girls will pretty much eat whatever i put in front of them. max, on the other hand greatly prefers the pouches. he will even get upset if the canned stuff is the same kind of chunks as is in the pouches. it's amazing that at 6 months old how picky...
