Gotta love varmints and their shenanigans.

Toss in a 4-year-old that is showing disturbing signs of making an evil mastermind…

Sunshine for Boris and Maggie

George, do they use the basket? We have a tree that has a basket in it, but they never get in it. Karla wants to get these baskets that can go directly into the window, but I’m not sure.

[George K]

Maggie uses the "hammock" as I call it. Boris does not.

She's such a timid little thing that I feel she might like the security of the hammock because she's "hidden" but can still look out.

Right now, she's on top, and Boris is contemplating things.

It’s official… We took them down to the shelter on Wednesday for spaying and neutering, they were kept overnight for observation, and Karla completed the adoption paperwork and brought them home on Thursday.

We’re having to keep them separated and a little confined for a few days until they are fully recovered, so both kitties have been wanting constant attention and love. This is a big change from Magneto’s typical behavior, and Karla’s worried about a personality shift.

Congrats!

[Mik]

You will have years of entertainment.

Kindly explain to me why the cat that doesn’t want a lot of love and attention picks the times I am sitting at the desk working to jump on to my lap and demand love and affection?

[Jolly]

They're cats. They plan this stuff for days before execution.

They have an innate sense of what will inconvenience you.

[LuFins Dad]

She played and snuggled for 15 minutes, then napped on my lap for 20-30 minutes…

Is the cat a female?

[LuFins Dad]

Pistachio earned her keep last night! Finley was taking his dishes into the kitchen last night and hollers “What’s that?” Over by Magneto’s food bowl is a tiny mouse sniffing around, bold as can be. The two cats are over in the corner just lounging… I’m a little ticked at the cats at this point… It’s right there…

So I get a box and a dust pan, but the mouse gets away. A couple of hours later, I am getting ready to feed the cats their evening meal, and Jerry’s over by Pistachio’s bowl, brave as can be. Pistachio was following me with the food, saw the mouse, and snatched it up, Karla immediately snatched Pistachio up, we took her outside and got her to let go of the mouse who took off.

After that, Pistachio was a wild kitty. She was like “I’ve never felt so alive!” And spent the next two hours zooming and stalking everything in the house.

We clearly feed them too much as they just want to play with them while I want them to kill it immediately.

Here was the text exchange I had with Lucas and his girlfriend.

[Mik]

Hilarious.

[Horace]

Funny. But score one for auto-correct on that one.

[LuFins Dad]

Nobody warned me what effect the cats would have on my schedule. Every frigging time that I decide to get up and move on to the next part of my day is exactly when they jump into my lap.
