Dishes


Did I mention how helpful she is with the dishes?

I'll dry you off

Trouble assists Bean in drying, by adding more cat saliva. I may never understand the logic.

Wet Kaiyu...

...is not amused

Bath Day!!



In an attempt to get the cat hair "situation" under control, and because it was just so darn nice and warm out, today was bath day. Trouble is actually the worst behaving of the 3 when it comes to bath time. If she wants to play in the water that's fine, but if YOU want her to be in the water - forget about it. Luckily she's small and there's not much to scrub so we were in and out pretty quickly. Bean is Mr. Chill as always when it comes to baths. He just stands in the water and growls softly at me just to remind me that this is really not cool. I think he secretly likes baths but due to the great cat pact of "thou shalt hate all water", he just can't admit it. Kaiyu is surprisingly easy to bathe despite being the most skittish of the 3.

Trubby trubs





OK my New Year's resolution was to keep this blog updated and I'm failing miserably. This week was quite possibly the worst ever, luckily I have the cutest savannah on earth to cheer me up and keep me occupied with her antics. Good antics and bad antics. Here are some examples:

Good antics:
1. Climbing on doors and scaling the moulding on the wall. Yes, she can do this. She actually loves to do this. She will ask people to lift her up so she can jump around on top of doors for a while. And if no one will pick her up, she climbs from the cat tree to the wall.

2. Fetching her hedgehog. I can't wait until I have a good video of this. There was one excellent one on my last camera but my camera got stolen in DC so someone out there gets to enjoy a video of a crazy savannah kitten fetching a hedgehog with some girls laughing like hyenas in the background, but not us. :(

3. Destroying my tree. You would think this was a bad antic, but this poor tree is so beyond the point of no return that it is just plain funny now. She has been battling with it since day 1 and is definitely winning.

Bad antics:
1. Climbing on the stove when the oven is on. Yes this scares me to death. Luckily she doesn't get up there when the range is on but as soon as the oven is on, she climbs right on top like a lizard on a heat rock to warm her belly up. We have to close her out of the kitchen when we're cooking to avoid this.

2. Breaking drinking glasses. I know I should be trained by now to NEVER leave a drinking glass around the house but anyone who knows me would understand that this is a virtually impossible task. I swear she can smell drinking glasses. The second I leave one out and turn my back, withing seconds it is smashed into a million pieces on the floor and Trouble is standing on the counter blinking at me with this bad face that is full of mischevious satisfaction. She knows what's up but I think she just can't resist.
