It’s been a great week so far! A lot of it I’ve spent on the road….going, going, going. Since my last post, I’ve been to Trussville, Tuscaloosa, back to Trussville, home for a few days, and back to Trussville again. Whew! The ol’ Mazda will be up over 75,000 miles soon :)
Felix and Gabby are adjusting pretty well to us and our house. I can already tell they are fattening up, which is good! They were pretty bony when we got them a week and a half ago. They love the Purina Kitten Chow I’ve been feeding them! They love to play with their toys, especially the toy mice with long fuzzy tails and their yellow tennis balls. They also love to wrestle each other. Gabby usually wins! She’s definitely the dominant kitty. Gabby almost always purrs when we walk into the room, and she’s started following us all over the house. Last night, she jumped on the bed and climbed all over me until I started petting her. She’s very sweet and friendly, and she loves to be petted and sit in my lap. Felix isn’t warming up as quickly, but I think it will just take some time. He loves to be near Gabby and loves playing with her and chasing her. He just doesn’t like to be petted or held very often. He’s pretty adventurous too though! The other night I caught him in our closet sitting on top on Travis’s hanging T-shirts…not sure how he was balancing up there! Felix and Gabby went to Trussville with us this past weekend, and they actually did very well on the car ride there and back. Felix was pretty scared on the way there for a little while, but eventually he cuddled up with Gabby and slept most of the way. They enjoyed playing on Callie’s scratching post/cat house while they were there, although I don’t know how Callie felt about that! Dad built them their very own deluxe scratching post though, and they have been having a big time with that since we got back home Saturday night. We’ve been letting them out of the bathroom a lot more since my last post, and we’ve even started leaving them out while we’re gone. They haven’t managed to destroy anything yet (that I know of), so I guess that’s good! :)
Cat napping in their bed
Cuddling on the way to Trussville Friday night!
Aren’t they so cute????
My dad is quite the handyman!
They love to climb!
Gabby likes to explore…even in the shower
Felix watching cautiously from under the bed
Felix decided to check it out for himself!
They move so fast!
Just a blur :)
Friday night, we headed to Trussville with the kittens, spent the night, and then went to Tuscaloosa Saturday morning for the first Alabama game of the season. We figured out that it was the 7th season opener in a row that we’ve been to, and 6 of them we’ve gone to together! Alabama football is definitely a common interest we share, and really just football in general. We sat in Mom and Dad’s seats, and it was a lot of fun! Hopefully we’ll get to go to a few more games this season…
About to score another touchdown!
After the game, we scooped the kitties up after a quick supper and headed back home. Monday was Labor Day and we both had the day off…hooray! We had our fantasy football draft that afternoon, and I think I got a pretty good team. I’m hoping to come in better than 4th place this year!
I worked my usual 11 AM to close shift yesterday and came to Trussville this morning. Mom had her 2nd chemo treatment yesterday, so I wanted to be here today and tomorrow on my days off. She’s been feeling good today, and hopefully she’ll have another good day tomorrow! I brought a bunch of frozen blueberries and peaches with me, so I’m going to make her a smoothie tomorrow. Cold/frozen foods tasted good to her last time around, so I hope she’ll like the smoothie. We’ll see how it turns out!
I’ll be heading back home tomorrow night, working Friday, and then we’re watching the Penn State game with Matt and Maggie at their house on Saturday. Should be another fun weekend!! :)
