Sleeping positions

Not only does the cats sleep in strange places, they sleep in strange positions. More than once we looked at the sleeping cats and said "That can't be comfortable".

Tengil, stretching his neck?
Most, flying in his dreams?

Sleeping places


This post will be about the cats sleeping places. They have some funny places they like to sleep on. We have a small loud speaker stuffed in a bag with a blanket around it. The bag is open and placed on another speaker (just temporary, we moved in some months ago (closer to six months...), and that's one of Most's favorite places to sleep on. It doesn't seem to be particularly soft, but that's not a problem. Actually, if we place a towel or anything on a furniture the cats will think it is for them to sleep on. Tengil has another place he likes to sleep in, the laundry bag. In fact, everything about laundry is interesting. In the winter, the lamp on the aquarium was a popular place to sleep on.

The new place to sleep, or play, is the drying rack, especially if there is a towel on it, but clothes works to. Towels has the advantage by making it possible to slip between the racks and sort of hang in the air, lying on the towel.

Outdoors

We spent the weekend in the summer cottage and the cats got to experience some outdoor life. This picture shows how unproportional Most is right now, his tail is so long, and his head a bit small, but very cute!

No balls!


Today Tengil was neutered. I will spare you any before and after picture!
We brought him to the vet in the beginning of the day and picked him up after work. Sometime during that time, he was castrated. We were a bit worried how he would take it all. But everything seems to have gone fine. Apparently, he got pat very much since his fur was so soft :)

Since he stayed the whole day at the clinic, he's been up and running since he got home, he's even played a little with Most. He's very hungry, haven't eaten anything since last night. Most was very hungry this morning since he didn't have anything to eat during the night either. They will both get to it something to eat tonight.

Most on the other hand has been all alone for the first time ever! It seems like he has been looking for Tengil, but when Tengil got home, Most ran and hid under the bed. Both Tengil and the transport bag probably smelled differently. But now everything is ok. In a month or two, it will be Most turn to make a trip to the clinic...

A new place

This weekend we took the cat to my parents summer cottage. It was the first time the cats were there. It was the first time they were away from home, but seemed to like it quick. There was some new features for them though... For one thing, they learned that people could walk past the window (doesn't happen a lot when you live on third floor). At first they were a bit scared but soon they realised it was just me and tomek walking by. There was also bugs to catch which both cats found extremely fun. For the first time they saw an animal bigger than a dog, cows. Both cats were quite impressed... or something....

Since the weather was good, we took the cats out in the garden (in harness and leash). Tengil liked it and walked around and lay in the sound. Most still is a bit worried when being in outside. But he's one month younger than Tengil... it will come. It's extremely tiring being outside so both cats spent much time indoor, sleeping. They are such city cats! Acting like grass is unpleasant to walk on and fresh air is some sort of punishment.

We also tried to feed them from the same bowl and discovered that Most had a smart way of stealing the food from Tengil...


No one can accuse him for being stupid....

It is good to have a friend...

After the first two days when Most had arrived, I gave in to paranoia and declared my fear that he and Tengil never would become friends. 3 days later the cats proved me wrong. To proof this, I put together this potpurri of picture of the cats snuggeling together.
