<<<It’s been a while since I last filed a report becaues not much has changed. Sadly, there’s little intelligent life down here, other than cats. How did these humans manage to take over the planet?>>>

Even after 6 years of living here, Corky still acts like he’s not supposed to be sitting or laying anywhere when the human pokes her head around the corner. That makes it quite hard to get photos of the little guy, who is cute as can be when he’s not having a meltdown over one or another food issue.
At least this once, the human had the camera in hand and got a couple of shots in before Corky abandoned his comfy bed.

Caesar and Fireball are best buds most of the time. Fireball follows his big (adopted) brother around from morning until night. They often curl up together. In this case, they took a rest and did a bit of paw dangling.

<<<Did you see the state of the crunchy bowl? It’s a CDD cat-tastrophy!>>>
<<<The bottom of the bowl is showing again. Why does she do this to us? Does she want us to suffer?>>>
<<<After we figure out a way to get her to refill the bowl, I think we should plot our revenge.>>>

Trail of crackly paper: check.
Really big box: check.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, so much fun!
Where do you suppose the crackly paper trail ends?

Need we say more?
This is a once or twice nightly kitty activity. Believe it or not, before the human got up, Mac was balanced precariously on top of the 2-legged’s head and Caesar’s back. Sheesh!

When it’s really, really hot and all you have energy to do is lay flat on the floor…
…it’s time to sit up to cuddle and chat with your BFF instead.

A terrible thing keeps happening every night. We call it Crunchy Deficit Disorder or CDD. It occurs when Corky or Mac eat enough of the kibble in the community food bowl that a tiny bit of the bottom of the bowl shows through. Yes, they can see it even in the dark.
Once that happens, neither cat is able to eat any more crunchies. They literally just stand around and stare at the bowl as though they can’t believe this has happened again. When the crisis doesn’t quickly resolve, the temper tantrums ensue.
Corky beats up the drapes and yowls or alternately jumps on the tummy of the human if she is reclining in bed. If she’s not laying down, Corky tracks down the human and yowls at her until she gets up and does something about the CDD. (He may be a little guy, but he’s fiercesome when he’s mad!) Mac, being less angry and more scheming, goes under the bed and starts carving up the mahogany legs with her claws. The only solution to CDD is for the human to go over to the bowl and either shake the crunchies back into place so no bottom shows, or to refill it. <<<It is so challenging being a woefully outmatched and outnumbered human in this house.>>>

<<<The bad human has been very busy at work…at least that’s the excuse she’s used when we’ve asked why there haven’t been any new posts added in almost a month. We’ve tried replacing her before, but had little success. Hence, we’ve decided we just have to live with it when she goes AWOL. We have been doing cute things and she has been taking pictures, not that anyone would know about it.>>>
<<<We also recently learned that Google was discontinuing Feedburner, a nifty free piece of software we’ve used for ages to ensure our fans receive emails when new posts go up on our site. The upshot is that we don’t know if anyone will get these emails anymore, but we’re giving it a try.>>>
