Wednesday night kitties 12-19-2018

It was chilly tonight after dinner so I was happy that Tiger decided to cuddle me while I played Skyrim.
But... Tiger is not allowed to sleep alone. Kimba barely let him get settled in before coming up onto the chair and making pillows out of both of us!

Harley, seeing Tiger had settled on my lap chose to keep @lordvdr warm.

Today was her 10th Anniversary of being adopted by us. She was a skinny little cat when we brought her home and our original orange cat- Tigger, was SO mad at us about adding another cat to the house.

Harley has a favorite blanket to sleep on and follows us around begging for cuddles. She has the loudest purr and has us wrapped around her paws. :)

It took a few months for Tigger to allow Harley to even be on the bed at the same time, she was so stubborn. But then she started having kidney issues and mellowed out a bit. After Tigger passed we waited a few weeks and then went to the shelter to find a companion for Harley. Instead of 1, we found 2! The boys had already been named and bonded at their prior owners home. They were being kept in separate cages and Kimba was so happy to spend time with Tiger when we brought them together, we couldn't separate them again and adopted them both. That was just over 4 years ago.

Kimba has an obsession with treats and knows where they are kept. He climbs the cupboard to attempt to reach them but usually the top drawer opens and knocks him off before he gets to the top. Here he is yelling at me to give him treats-

See the way that his claws have damaged the top of that drawer? He will be my best excuse to remodel the kitchen!

Tiger's obsession is fresh water and his fountain.

We think their prior owner must have had a leaky sink faucet because both boys love drinking from the sink. After we realized this, we got a fountain for them. At first Tiger was not really accepting of it, but then we discovered that he had some dental problems and once they were fixed, he was much happier. He drinks from it constantly now.

Guess this post is getting long... I am working on a big study that is due next week and have been fighting a cold so I didn't get out walking for the last few days. I am looking forward to my company party tomorrow evening and then a small group potluck on Friday. And then a 4 day weekend!
