Yesterday's rains brought us all much needed downtime and relaxation. Overall it was a quiet day. We snoozed and cuddled and watched the television.
I realized that Punkin, one of my troublemaker kittens has decided on a new habit. I originally thought he was pawng in the waterbowl to let me know it was empty. However, I find I was mistaken. He's playing in the water! Or rather I think he is perhaps stirring it up before he drinks. For a cat who previously abhorred water except to drink, he loves to paw at it and purposely get his foot wet. I find I am amused and puzzled at these newer behaviors from him.
For the most part, both Jasmine and Binx love to find comfy secluded spots in the pillows on the top bunk over the cab. Usually at a window so they can keep an eye on wildlife. They all about went crazy yesterday when a bird walked on top down the length of the RV. They could certainly hear it but couldn't see it. Much hilarity ensued on my part watching them haul ass down the middle of the RV trying to follow the progress of the bird and trying to gracefully get up on the top bunk. The only one with any grace was Jasmine.
They are enthralled with watching the world outside when I have the door open and they can look out the screen door or if the blinds are up and they can see and hear everything. So much wonder on their expressions! Like right now, I am watching Binx with so much curiosity and enjoyment in his body expression as he sits on the front passenger seat and watches the morning birds outside. And his best buddy Punkin joins him briefly. Dearest Yummy, the old man of the group, seems blase about it all. He is more interested in beauty sleep, unless the door is open. I have to give them credit, not a one of them is interested in going outside, they are just enjoying the kitty TV show that changes constantly and has smells galore!
The dogs are happy snoozing inside or out. Abby loves to stretch out on her belly in the grass in the sun. Brody seems to always be up for exploration and a walk. He has even become more playful as he settles in.
Dearest little Abby has become quite the bed addict. She gets so excited about bedtime and snuggling! I am quite becoming used to her gentle snoring on my pillow next to me. But heaven help me if I dont' pay attention getting into bed, she quickly takes over the bed if she can, and then lays there smiling at me with her goofy smile and seems to be saying ha ha, its mine now!
Feeding times has become creative. If ai feed the kitties first, thr dogs think they should help themselves to it, if I feed the dogs first, well the kitties all horn in. So I am trying to feed kitties first on the top bunk and one of the bench seats for the dinette, then the dogs. It seems to work so far. Although I will be happy to be back in a house where I can set down a routine again and have more space for us all.
And I will say that cooking is quite the challenge as is eating as the cats feel they ,ust supervise or assist in food tasting.
