Cats grow in spurts

On Friday at lunch, when I was grabbing bags to go out to the taxi, the Monster kitten was shorter than the Cookie cat.

Tonight, I have just looked at the two of them attempting to beg cereal from J, and Monster is definitely taller than Cookie. (And yes, Monster loves puffed wheat. And toast. And crisps. She carbo-loads for the daily round of kitty sprints.)

If I can work out my new camera, I'll post some shots in the next few days. They managed not to eat each other in our absence and only hid one pair of undies in the living room for us to play find the knickers with. Good kitties!

In other animal news, when I went for a little walk around Adelaide this morning, I waltzed out the door of my hotel, straight onto Rundle St Mall, where there was a duck. When I returned from my walk, the duck was still there.

cats are so funny. the foods some of them will eat. my cat doesn't respond to the sound of a can opener, but she responds to a chopping knife being pulled out. anything chopped with THAT knife...she'll eat. onions, potato, peppers, apple...doesn't matter. it's the obssession with the knife. i'm so glad she doesn't has thumbs. i'll never have to worry about her playing with the knife. o_O

Kitty pics! :wants:

My cat does this thing where she holds her tail up with one paw and licks it and will give you Teh Look of utter SLytherin contempt for the commons if you poke her just then, and really, I am so utterly in love with all things feline :g:

I have a an old cookie jar where all the treats are kept. When the fatso twins here that jar slide across the counter to be opened they come running. Nothing ladylike about either of them.

Peace,

You do know they nail that duck there just to amuse tourists, right?

Kitty Piccy Kitty Piccy Oi Oi Oi

I had to stop both mine eating the tomato bits I had hauled out of my curry leftovers the other day. Our old cat used to love spaghetti sauce, and the mushrooms from chicken cacciatore. Cats are strange!

What camera did you buy in the end?

Adelaide is not like other places and I know that first-hand. The duck is actually a prominent member of the Barr-Smith family and the last remaining Australian Democrat in Federal parliament so I hope you were respectful.
