Well, Gilbert got me good today. My hands are all tore up. He even managed to claw the tips of my fingers, which typing is actually pretty painful right now. We need to get him declawed. Gary has his front declawed and I think we need to make it an even playing field. Gilbert has managed to mutilate Dan's arm. Poor guy, his forearm is all cut up from Gilbert jumping on & off Dan while his sits at the computer.
Gary has a new box. He is loving it. It's a box from our new toaster. The box has been sitting in the livingroom for about a week now. I don't have the heart to toss it yet. Gary has been sleeping in it, playing with it and is a little territorial about it. He won't let Gilbert in his new box. Gilbert has been trying & when he is successful, Gary will walk away from it like it's old news. Gilbert, of course, will follow Gary away from the box. When Gilbert is just enough space from the box, Gary will jump right over him and reclaim it. It's very entertaining to watch.
Those two have become very vocal. Gary's quiet merps have become louder and have developed into some form of long conversation he has with Gilbert. I can only imagine what they are saying to one another, but it sounds interesting. Gilbert has a different sound for each of us. Dan's call is a throat meow that ends with a high pitch. Mine is similar, but ends with a low pitch. Gary's call is a much quieter short throat mew. It's really neat watching this kitten learn to communicate. It really fascinates me.
We haven't started them on new food yet. We still have 1/2 a bag of Purina Kitten food. I am anticipating resistance. But we'll see.
