Sleepy Saturday night.

I am becoming such a couch potato. I just love sitting on my couch and my darling 9 and Chani cuddle up on me. However, as you can see above, it can get a bit difficult. I do have quite the lap, but, my kitties have gotten so big, they don't fit on my lap. So, last night, 9 decided to plop on top of Chani... back in the day, they could lie on top of each other and still sleep. These days, not so much. 9 is just too heavy!

Chani moved not too long after I took the above photo. But, she came back pretty quickly after I moved 9 over a bit.

Chani settled back into her spot.

9 curled up next to me and used my knee as a pillow.

I just sat there for about an hour or so, watching tv and playing on my iPad. Talk about heaven!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Sleeping shots

Sleeping head to head. If you look closely, you can see that Chani is actually sleeping on 9's foot/leg. Those are his black paw pads sticking out of her side. (Chani has cute little pink jelly bean toes).

And side by side. This is the only way that I get to sit on the couch, when they sleep side by side on half of the couch. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Sleepy Time & Toesday

Last night, I went to bed to read a book instead of getting on my computer (hooray for me!) 9 and Chani joined me. At the foot of the bed, here lies 9... Looks comfortable, doesn't he?

Up by my side, was darling Chani doing her best pike/curly Q formation.

The weather is getting warmer so I don't think the Aqua Blankie of Doom will last much longer on the bed.

Oh dear, I hear 9 getting in trouble. I better go check on it... Oh, he jumped on Grandma's yarn bag and pulled everything out... sigh... poor guy just doesn't get it.

On the condo side of things, I have pictures but haven't uploaded them yet. The walls are painted, the upper cabinets are installed and now, my parents have decided I'd better get new carpets too. This is turning into the remodel that never ends... Not that I'm complaining though, it's just taking a looooong time :D

The plan for the weekend...

Not much planned for the weekend. I know that Chani and 9 have definite plans to be cute and sleepy. 

9 always keeps an eye out on me just to see if I'm heading into the kitchen. Never know if I'll be handing out treats or spooning out some good ole Avoderm Chicken... even if it is before 6pm (their dinner time)

Chani loves food as much as 9. They both like the Oven Roasted Chicken Greenies, but 9 likes them better, it seems.  

So, here they are, all sleepy and adorable.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Thursday Tidings

Cleaning Chani again.  Doesn't she look soooo happy??? hehe

So, after a few days of incredible heat in the Bay Area, it's now chilly again.  Sigh... silly weather. Won't be posting for the next few days because I'll be heading out of town for a dear friend's wedding. I get to be a bridesmaid (again... sigh) and wear a dress of a rather 'interesting' color. It's all good.  It's all about the bride after all, right?

Chris is going to take care of 9 and Chani.  I hope they don't transfer their loyalty (love?) to him :( Chris assures me that he will 'ignore' them, but I know he's lying.  He can't ignore these two, especially Chani. Well, we'll see how it goes when I come back.

Sleepy time

Another shot of 9 in the black chair.  He's still pretty small (inaccurately weighed in at about 6 lbs) but he's growing a lot.  It's amazing how they suddenly have a growth spurt and you can really notice the size difference.  I kind of wish I saw what 9 and Chani looked like when they were tiny (8 weeks old or so), but that won't happen.  I don't think the rescue place has pictures of them at that age.  At any rate, I'm enjoying them immensely.

When I started looking to adopt kittens, I really wanted tiny babies.  I wanted to recreate what I had with Q (I'll have to post some of the pictures of him at that age... one day, I shall).  But, in the weeks that followed me adopting 9 and Chani, I was so glad that they were bigger (especially 9) because I could pick them up and give them hugs with my whole arms.  I could cradle them kind of like I did with Q.  And honestly, I love hugging kitties.

Strange how you get exactly what you need sometimes...

This is a heated bed that I bought for Q, but he never used. When I first brought Chani home, she was a little confused and deposited a 'present' in it for me to find later...  Now, though, she uses it as it is meant to be used.  9 hasn't used it at all.  So, it's Chani's property.  In looking at the picture, it seems like Chani's body is stretching out, as if her body is finally catching up to the size of her head.
