Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
— Oprah Winfrey
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.
— Neil Gaiman
What better way to start the New Year than with a kitten update?
As you might imagine, the kittens have been both active and entertaining. And they LOVE when the granddaughter comes over to visit. She plays with them, and makes caves for them, and creates unique beds for them.
Dinsdale especially loves the granddaughter. He’ll run to meet her at the door and lets her carry him around. She’ll pick up an empty basket and he’ll jump right in so she can carry him. It’s really cute. One day she was curled up in my chair watching a movie on Netflix and he stopped biting his sister to go over and cuddle with “his” kid instead.
They really loved their new Christmas toy – the fibre optic tree we bought to replace our old one. They especially loved hiding under it to jump out at each other, and having epic battles through the branches.
And please note it’s Dinsdale, the hubby’s kitten, who liked to climb it, not my sweet little Khaos.
Fortunately, the novelty of the tree wore off pretty quickly, and other than fighting under it (where the lower branches would end up being casualties of battle), they pretty much left it alone.
Khaos learned a new trick. She decided we needed more light in the living room, so she taught herself how to open the curtains.
She’s also appointed herself my editor. Or maybe it’s my censor.
And apparently they don’t trust me to go to the bathroom by myself, but at least they prefer to keep to the sink. Khaos especially likes it if I turn the tap on for her.
Every day is a new adventure for these two, and it’s only going to get better once I put their Christmas present together – a cat tree for the dining room.
