Dora & Tion

Here is a picture of Dora & Tion spooning on top of one of the desks. Tion finds Dora's cleaning techniques lacking, so he often takes opportunities to groom her himself.

Dora the Blogger

Dora's new pastime is to sit in front of my computer screen and keyboard so that I cannot check my mail and am instead forced to play with her. It pretty much works every time.

Dora's taking over...

Here is Dora perched on the top of Tion's cat condo. Tion has been a very good sport as this little one has invaded his territory. She is also very fond of chasing his tail, which Tion puts up with very stoically for the most part.Tion has seemingly adopted Dora as his little sis. Here he is grooming her as she poses for the camera.

Fast Friends

After a week of hissing and biting, my two little ones are finally learning how to play nice.

Dora the Explorer

Well... it has finally happened! Tion Tillypants has a new playmate in the house. Her name is Dora the Explorer (like the Nick Jr. cartoon show) because of her insatiable appetite for exploration. Already, she has mapped out every nook and cranny of our apartment. So far, her favorite spot seems to be Tion's food bowl. :-)
I was able to snap a photo of one of the big chases that Tion and Dora partake in whenever possible. These encounters usually start with Dora posturing as if to overtake Tion, then quickly turn into Tion outrunning and often overrunning Dora. It's really only scary when he bites her neck. Already I can see that they will soon be comfy friends.

Rosie the Bag Lady

Meet Rosie. She and Tion had a falling out a while back, but she is none the less pretty cool. While her people parents were enjoying their honeymoon, I had the honor of visiting Rosie for regular play dates. One day, she managed to get a Starbucks bag around her body and it was a major adventure trying to get it off.

Lounging Around

After a long night of chasing bugs and invisible creatures, Tion lounges around in bed with his favorite house mate. Even though kitty cats often take many short naps, Tion always seems to be in bed when it's time for Mary to wake up...
