    a few recent pics of the kiddos...

    Holland, like most cats, loves her boxes (Daymon has so far been immune to the call of the box But so shiny and soft. Hanging out on a hot afternoon... Times like these I wish I had a better camera. I love Daymon's black tail against his white leg.

    OK, let's be honest...

    How many of us wish every day that we were born a cat (at least one of our TCS spoiled cats, anyway...)? My handsome boy in his favorite spot: Handsome, handsome Daymon: Life is so rough: And it looks as though it's time to start watching little Miss Holland's diet again, she's looking...

    Holland has finally found a use for her brother.

    For the past 6 months, Holland has basically alternated between bullying and tolerating Daymon. A couple weeks ago, she went up to him and bumped heads, and he groomed her head for a minute. I think she decided she likes it. She's very aggressive about it too... She gets in his face and head...

    OMG, it's finally happening!!

    So it's been almost 4 1/2 months since Daymon came home, and while I could talk for hours about how the relationship has progressed between him and Holland... I won't. Instead a simple recap of how at first Holland was very combative, swatting and hissing whenever he got near. Then she started...

    I found Holland's kryptonite...

    I spilled some green olive juice on the kitchen floor earlier, and I wiped it up, but the smell must still be there. Holland was in the kitchen a few minutes later and was rolling around on the spot where I spilled like most cats would do with catnip! Catnip has never really affected her...

    Hee hee...

    Me and Holland having fun with toys (OK, maybe just ME having fun with toys...) Daymon on my lap - he's a kneader and he won't let me trim his claws yet, so he only gets to sit on my lap on the fleece. That boy has GOT to let me trim his claws before summer comes!!!

    well, they're sort of hanging out...

    It's been about two months since Daymon came home, and while he and Holland certainly aren't cuddling yet, they do tolerate each other. My mom asked me the other day how they're doing, and I told her they chase each other around... Daymon thinks they're playing and Holland thinks she's keeping...

    Cat vet to the stars?

    It's time for Holland's annual checkup, and Daymon hasn't been in since I took him to the shelter for sneezing just after adopting him two months ago. I was interested in finding a cat-only vet, so I googled it today, only to discover that Dr. Elsey (of the Cat Attract litter) built the first...

    Honestly not too sure what to think about this...

    I think poor Daymon went to the top of the entertainment center to get away from his sister, but it seems like she's actually been trying to play with him tonight... Am I sensing some harmony? They are so cute!!!

    I need help picking a picture!

    I want to enter this month's contest "extreme close-up"! I don't know which photo to choose though... I love the one of Daymon, but I hate that the flash kind of washed out his pink nose. I tried to take one without the flash, but it wasn't working and he was getting annoyed... And Holland is...

    I'm so excited!!!

    News is reporting that Trader Joe's is coming to Colorado!!! Sounds like it will be built in Boulder, but I'm willing to make the drive. For years, anyone we know who was making a trip to NM, AZ or CA would be given a Trader Joe's shopping list.

    crossing my fingers...

    Today is the first day I've not separated Holland and Daymon while I'm at work. They haven't been separated overnight for at least a week, and I've left them alone while I run quick errands, never more than an hour or so. I'm still waiting for that all-important cat pile, but for now I'm...

    How to get your brother out of your favorite condo room

    (sorry, I just can't help it... and this forum has been slow lately! ) Step by step instructions (by Holland): *Yes, these are in chronological order... 1. Swat him. 2. Stare at him. 3. Once he vacates, threaten to swat him again, just so he knows you're serious. 4. Check for...

    paybacks are a you-know-what...

    Daymon has spent so much time in Holland's bed over the last week or so, she finally decided she'd give him a taste of his own medicine: Unfortunately her peaceful protest has so far gone unnoticed, as Daymon is currently in the other room grooming on the condo (check out that flexibility!):

    well, well, looky what I found...

    I don't have any human kids, but I do know that if it's TOO quiet it's surely a sign of trouble. I'm doing homework on my computer, and I hadn't heard or seen Holland or Daymon for some time, so I went to check the bedroom, fully expecting to find Daymon under the bed and Holland "guarding"...

    is a smackdown inevitable?

    Sorry to start another introduction thread, I just want to be sure people see it so I can get some input. It's been about a week since Holland and Daymon have been personally introduced. I still separate them when I am not home. Short version of my personalities: Holland - only cat for a...
