Recently the humans bought a new cat basket to
add to the three the cats already have.
They do that, humans. They treat cats
to new things – just on a whim. Annabel
promptly commandeered it. Oh look, if I stretch out I can nearly reach
from one corner to another.
For days on end every attempt by Mac to evict
her was repulsed by a few sharp claws and a hiss.
This, notwithstanding Mac being a Superheavyweight and Annabel a mere Pinweight. Eventually Mac asserted his rights and while
she was out of the room he investigated it.
She came back in but hadn’t the gall to just dive straight into it while he
was sniffing that new (well almost) bedding smell.
Just my size, decided Mac.
But if I lie up here I can pounce when you
move, thought Annabel.
After half an hour he still hadn’t moved.
So she had to settle for creeping in with him
and sharing. Hopefully that is the way
it will continue.
What a great post! That last photo, that could be on a Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to learn to share, both for humans and cats.
ReplyDeleteThey are so much like kids in that respect, aren't they! With so many toys (in their case, beds) to choose from, they want the one their sibling is playing with. But unlike many kids, these two can share :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a cozy looking bed.
ReplyDeleteI love that the cats snuggle up together. Wish ours did that.
Cosy. I can almost hear the purring from the last picture.
ReplyDeleteSo funny. They really do have unique personalities.
ReplyDeleteCats are almost as strange as humans. Four baskets but they have to go for the same one. Bizarre.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! Did I tell you we now also have a Mac, and he looks just like yours! He is an outdoor kitty who adopted us. And our PeeWee (also outdoors) looks almost identical to your Anabel, too. That's pretty amazing. I am so glad your kitties get on well enough to snuggle in the same basket. I wish our indoor kitties would do that. They get along well enough - no fighting, can eat with their heads close together amiably - but they do not cuddle up together.
ReplyDeleteOh they're soooo cute...glad they're sharing the new bed...it looks comfy.
ReplyDeleteMac is one big cat!! So cute too! Annabel is'a beauty and knows when to cut her losses! Sure wish the human world could work out it's issues as nicely!
ReplyDeleteWell, to be honest, I was feeling a little blue this morning. Then I read this post about your kitties, and now, I'll be darn--cannot remember why in the world I was blue! Thank you for this wonderful post!!
ReplyDeleteCats.... love them.
ReplyDeleteI have two cats at home, Kiki and Tamtam. Both never had the luck to have their own cushion / bed and lie everywhere they can.
I never encourage them to be near / on furniture though.
