100% Again

Bambino:  Good news, everyone!  I'm 100% well again!  The Prince of Pounce is back!  Unfortunately, I pounced Oja and it had been so long since I pounced her that she hissed at me.

Karen Jo:  Oja wasn't very happy about it, but I was.  I got an email from Dropcam requesting a post and to send them a link to the post.  I did one for them, but now I got another request for a post with a link in it.  So here it is.  They were interested in my cats' quirks.

Bambino:  I demand petting at 0-dark-thirty after Mom gets back from the big white litter box.  I taste every food bowl until I find one I like.  After I am done eating, I dig at the place mat, trying to bury any leftovers.  I give Oja gentle head butts and rub up against her.  I am the only cat she allows to do this.
Spyro:  I love getting way up high.  I also get up on the valence above the curtains in the living room and I get up on top of doors.  I try to get outside when Mom opens the door.  When Mom sits at the kitchen table and tries to read the newspaper, I sit on the paper and demand to be petted.  While she is petting me, I snuggle my head into her armpit, then bite her.  You should hear her yell!
Oja: This is the first picture Mom ever took of me I have a short curly tail.  When I am happy, I curl it up like a chow dog.

Rocio:  Or a pig.

Oja:  ::WHAP!::  I am also the grumpy cat of the family.  It takes me weeks or months . . .

Rocio: Or years . . .

Oja: to make friends with another cat.  I did make an exception in Julius' case and accepted him right away.
Rocio:  I am the only cat who likes to sleep like this.  I like to tease Oja and make her yell, which is probably why she never made friends with me.

Horus:  Like Spyro, I like to get up high.  Here I am up on top of the filing cabinet.  I also get up on top of the valence in the living room and up on top of doors.  I also like to try to escape when Mom opens the door.  Sometimes Spyro and I work together.  One of us distracts Mom and the other one runs out.  As she makes a grab for the escaping cat, the other one runs out.  We only want to go out and scratch our backs on the concrete and chew on the grass, but Mom always walks around behind us until she can grab us and take us back inside.  I like to threaten Rocio and make him yell.  Oja is my friend and I don't like the way Rocio makes her yell.
                                      
Julius:  I am the newest one here.  I have only been living here for a couple of weeks.  My quirk is that I'm afraid of the Lady.  This is as close as I will let her get to me, unless she is giving out treats.  Then I will get close enough to her for her to touch me.  I even let her pet me a little until the treats run out.  Then I run away again.

I got a message from them, too. I am always leery to jump on something like that.

Bambino I am very happy that you are all well again.

The picture of you at the top is beautiful.

It's great to read about all the little things you do. But Spyro,I hope you don't bite your Mum in the armpit! That must hurt! Remember, and injured bean cannot give out treats.

Oja, your patience with these boys is amazing

Little Julius, don't be scared. Your Mum loves you very much and no one is ever going to hurt you!

Excellent news, Bambino!

Rocio, I think that sleeping pose is a orange and white cat thing. Russell liked to sleep in unusual poses, too!

Bambino we are all so happy to know you are feeling like the old pounce master again. We are trying to get Gracie all well in our house so we understand the gratitude one feels when all is well.

I'm so glad to hear that Bambino is back to 100%. Oja's tail is so cute! I think that every family has to have at least one grumpy person. Rocio is adorable sleeping in that position. You have a house full of cutie pies :)

Wonderful news about Bambino!!!

meowmeowmans said...

Bambino, we're all doing the happy dance for you. 100% is the best you can be! :)

We liked reading about all your quirks, dear friends. But Spyro, no biting Mom in the armpit, okay?

Ellen Whyte said...

Pouncing is our fave thing! Julius, looks like a great strategy. Any shares up for grabs of those treats?

John Bellen said...

It's good to see health returning once more, Bambino.

Thank you for your comments regarding my friend, Bear-Bear. It's strange that we put so much love into these little creatures knowing that they will probably leave us relatively soon. But then, when we meet them, we have little choice but to love them...

Jacqueline said...

Aww, we enjoyed all the adorable photos and reading about each of you guys...We hope you all are happy and well and also that precious Julius is finally letting the Lady cuddle him!!...Have a fun weekend, sweet friends...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat

So glad to hear that Bambino is feeling better. Looks like you all are having a great time at your house. I wanted to welcome Julius as our newest member of the Tabby Cat Club. He certainly is a cutie. Looking forward to getting to know him better and doing fun things at the club.

Yea Bambino...glad to know you are doing well. And Oja, my humans are trying to get me to accept a sisfur and I hiss and growl and hide....she scares me. Not so sure this is gonna work...paw hugs to all and so sorry to have been gone from your comments for so long. And I also was accepted into the TCC!!

I love reading this and getting to know your cats. I'm happy Bambino is better, totally impressed with Spyro's climbing ability, and am sure handsome little Julius will get over his fear soon.
Just hope Spyro doesn't teach him the armpit trick!
