December 2008

We like to think our cats are in kitty heaven.  The Christmas tree has not been too much temptation, just a little bit at first with Gary climbing quite high up the trunk.
 
We call Manuka "at" cat because her marks look like a circle with an A in the middle.  We call Gary "flat" cat because he likes to make himself as flat as possible.  He can get himself into some very thin places.
 
Manuka continues to impress us with her intelligence.  Sadly, we cannot say the same thing for Gary.  He is certainly a bit slower.  Oh well, at least he is very cuddly and cute.  We love his ear tufts and fluffy tail.

How far up the tree is Gary?

We are starting to let them outside, with supervision of course.  They have both been micro-chipped.  Gary has been snipped, and Manuka will undergo her op in January.

Gary loves climbing (and eating)

They are so funny when they sleep.  They do still like to curl up together.  Gary ends up in all kinds of funny uncatlike positions.

How big are they now?

Looking back we can't believe how small they were when we got them.  Gary fit in Mychelle's palm.  For xmas we are getting them a new climbing toy, as they barely fit on the original ones, certainly not together anymore.
