Open wide!

Polly and Henry got a new tree today.

At first, they were suspicious of it and pretended to ignore it. I picked up a bunch of their toys and put them in the two circular beds, then sprinkled a little bit of cat nip in them, for good measure. I picked up Henry and put her in the lower bed. She jumped out. Lather, rinse, repeat. Then I did the same with Polly. Then I picked up both cats and popped them into the beds. They sat there a few minutes, then they started bopping each other on their heads. Last I checked, they were curled up asleep, in their new beds, in their new tree.

I came into the studio to shut down the computer for the night and found Henry and Polly napping together on the dog’s bed. I’m kind of surprised they were still asleep, because at this time of night they’re usually tearing around the house like they’re possessed by evil demons. Time to wake them up and give them their supper.

Henry nearly drove me batshit crazy this morning. She was into everything, and as soon as I’d distract her from one thing, she’d be into another, and then when I’d distract her from that, she was into the first thing again. Then, as I was getting ready to run errands, she finally settled down in front of the Kitty TV to watch her favorite soap opera, The Adventures of Mr. Chipmunk.

Polly has stolen Harriet’s spot yet again. Harriet still hasn’t figured out that she can make Polly move. Her “solution” is to wander around the house, mooing like a sick calf, until I rescue her from the evil cat. Pitiful.
