They have had quite a good day today. They both had free run of the house for a good nine hours, much of which was spent sleeping on separate floors. Twyla was actually the one asking for Hooper's door to be opened this morning (she just wanted his food, but still). They had one major squabble complete with Twyla growling and a bit of fur flying, but other wrestling matches were much less heated and they brushed peacefully by each other multiple times. Twyla spent most of the day upstairs but came down a couple of times for a snack and a bit of play. Several times I thought she had enough of Hooper's craziness but she kept coming back for more.
They have a new game that I observed twice today, involving the crinkle tunnel in Hooper's room. He will hide in the tunnel and they will bat at each other through the holes. At one point Twyla stuck her head in one end and he charged at her from the other end. Amazingly, they just rolled and separated. Twyla is funny. She will instigate things but then get all grouchy when Hooper responds. Yesterday I thought she wanted to get away from him and I shut her in the room, but she meowed to be let out almost immediately so I let them get back at it.
We ended the day with them both laying peacefully on the bed for a minute or two. Hooper was still feeling playful and Twyla was ready for a nap so I was able to get him to follow me out of the bedroom and closed the door. Hooper will get a couple of more hours out and then Twyla will have her time to roam this evening and overnight. She still seems to need her own time where she doesn't have to be afraid of being stalked or pounced, and that is the only time she gets on my lap. It was a chilly gray day today and Hooper was a major cuddle bug.
