Talk Me Out Of It

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Look who came to visit.  Brother Tom! Boy was it like Christmas morning. They had the full run of the house and they had an absolute ball.

Tom is so big! 



He is also the laziest. 

Sylvester and Enoch have calmed down now. My neighbor is so smart. @MysticWanderer you were right. After Tom came Sylvester chose a site to call his own, but to claim it he had to protect it. So he just lied there and prevented his brothers from sharing it until they gave up. 

So now he has settled in a bit.

Of course I was right.     It comes from having cats inside most of my life.

I miss the three kittens my daughter now has. What a bunch of fur-ball energy they were!  They would all three go chasing each other through the house, jumping over tables and knocking everything off. I ended up having to put all my knickknacks away so they wouldn't be broken.  You just about have to "baby proof" your house until they get about two years old. They start to calm down a little by then.  Key words there are "a little". 

Before my daughter took the kittens, they managed to break one of my lamps, scratch up my kitchen rug, ruined a pair of bedroom curtains and blinds, and I ended up having to move the coffee table out of the living room because it had glass shelves; I didn't want them broken.

I hope you have better luck.  

You would have cracked up if you could have seen me grabbing up all the tchotchkes and packing them away.

They  were much calmer after a couple of hours, and even more calmer now. Two of the Huskies pay them no attention. One is curious, and one is a freaking mental mess. Bellah has Peter Pan syndrome. She wants to play all the time, and gets angry with the others because they don't want to play. She has a mental breakdown watching them play and she can't. It doesn't help that they teased her by walking on her crate.
