Lights, Camera.... Action!

Abby: I'm not here. I am a very secret cat, no one can see me. Even though I now weigh just over 10 pounds, I can still fit into very sneaky places! We call it a catcase for a reason!

Oh, hey! Look, if you could please excuse me and my toy, we are having a little staring contest here and we don't want to be disturbed . . . yet!

But wait . . . what's that glorious scent??? It's NIP!!! WHEEE!! (runs across the room)


Stygia: I love the NIP too! We get so excited and we just have to wrestle about it. Here you get to see my action pose, in mid-diveroll towards my crazy sister. She was whapping me so I decided my next move would be a pre-emptive wrestlelockwhap move!

Abby: Well, folks, that's all for today. I am just gonna clobber Ms. C's camera now so that she will put it down and give me some chin-scratchies instead. We were good models, I don't think it is too much to ask, do you?

Who started it?

Abby: I know that all of you believe I am the troublemaker in the house. That I'm the one who starts all of the fights. Well, I would like you to know that my sister Stygia is also responsible for these occasions! She was hanging out under Mr. R's desk this morning. I simply came along to sniff and see what was so interesting about it (notice I am even walking away?), when she WHAPPED at me!

Of course, if she is feeling playful, who am I to say no to a good wrestling session? Hee hee!

Don't forget to go check out Stygia at House Panthers today!

On A Chair.... Anywhere!

Stygia: We fight anywhere. On the stairs, or on a chair! Just take a look, you'll find us there!

Abby: I don't want to say it but... (whispers) she has been getting the better of me lately. I admit, I stalk her. I start the chasing and the fights. But I am the first one to run away. Is it always going to be this way?!

Friends on Friday: Us

First of all, we'd like to send purrs to the family of Texas, who has made his final journey. We loved Texas and his blog, and all of our hearts are with his family right now.

Stygia: Perhaps you can tell by the last few blog entries, but this is our new favorite game, playing in and around the cat condo. When I first met Abby, I didn't understand that she was a wrestling-loving kind of cat. I thought she just wanted to fight, I didn't know this was a fun way that we cats could play together. I am learning!

I find it easiest to play from on top of the cat condo. I tried to dash into that top cubby that Abby is usually in once, but it was a lot smaller than I expected, and I ended up with my back legs and tail just hanging out. You can be sure that with Abby on my tail, I got out of there quickly!

Abby: We play this game throughout the day! Sometimes Stygia needs a little bit of persuasion in order to box and wrestle with me. I've had to be clever in my techniques. Usually, I just sneak up on her and whap her tail, but sometimes she ignores that, so as you can see from this video, I'm using the "bite the back" technique.

Well, it is time for our nap. It is afternoon and we need to store a lot of energy for evening excitement!

PS. When we ran the spell check we were shocked to see that "whap" is not in the dictionary. It's a very important term!
