Fun with felines

[catherineldf]

So yesterday the female kitten, currently going by (but not responding to) Ma'at vanished into the basement for longer than I thought was a good idea. An expedition was mounted and we found her stuck behind some of Jana's flat files. Wacky hijinx ensued while we dug her out from under many layers of book board. I carried her upstairs and put her down. Whereupon she promptly raced behind the stove where our intrepid kitchen remodelers (us) had neglected to replace a heating grate. You see where this is going, right? Yep, kitty in heating duct. We made sure she couldn't get into the furnace and tried the usual things to get her out, to no avail.

An hour or so later, we gave up and sat around and petted her brother in the living room while we waited for her to emerge. He was very much digging the only visible kitty thing so he couldn't be persuaded to go look for her until we got up to go to bed. Then he sauntered into the kitchen and chirped and suddenly it was safe to emerge. Tonight, she's vanished again. I think this time we'll let her come forth on her own schedule, though I'm still a bit anxious. Sigh.

Gratuitous cute photo of Day 1 when they used the bathmat to make a kitty burrito:

Kitty burrito!

Are they letting you sleep yet?

Not so much last night. Even though we banned them from the bedroom, the WWF event that involved knocking over the trash and banging into the bedroom door was a tad, shall we say, impactful. :-(
We're hoping everyone settles down this week. Wish us luck! :-)

They are very cute cats. I hope they get to be friendlier and less shy.

Oh they're exuberantly friendly, as long as one is sitting/laying down. Pretty skittish if standing or moving, unless it is suddenly better to be directly underfoot. :-)

holy moly
