Can't believe it is the middle of August already. And schools around here are starting next Monday. We had company, great nephews from San Diego, visiting us the last two weeks, teen boys, who kept us hopping. Now we are setting around in an exhausted state, wondering how did we make it through those years with our kids? Got to be young to do that anymore.
Our new kitty Violet is charming us on a daily basis, BUT hubby wants to rename her Shredder. We bear her claw marks to prove it. But she is so cute, so we have to forgive her for not yet understanding that human skin is not jeans denim or the cedar post in the kitchen. We got her a new scratching post with a jingle toy at Costco the other day. Just like any other kid, the box the toy came in was more fascinating, but she got the hang of it, and now diligently works on it. If she doesn't attack the cedar post right next to it. Then hubby came home with another new toy yesterday. Those laser mice! Ohmygoodness, you should see her run through the house chasing it! Then there is that toy feather duster on an extended stick. You would think she was competing in the Olympic gymnastics this week, because of her back and front flips trying to get that toy!
Vallee cat is getting used to the kitten, but can't decide whether to steal her day-glo mice, or box her ears when she gets too pushy. They will work it out I think. The little one runs madly after big sis, so Vallee now has an admirer, even if she doesn't want one.
