That Yeowww candy cane from a Secret Santa package received years ago is getting quite the workout this summer, for some reason. Maybe the extra good nip inside simply needed our hot weather to activate all it’s Yeowww-y goodness!
Another toy that gets on and off workouts is our IKEA ratties. Quint will drag this one out for a few weeks, then it gets ignored for months and months. Back into the toy basket it goes! He doesn’t carry it around like angels Miss Newton and Maxx used to, meowing with it stuffed in their mouths up and down the stairs at all hours of the day and night, and we’d be lying if we said we don’t miss that.
Instead of batting some ratty around or chewing the nip out of another toy, Viola rather enjoys her Mondays catching some morning sunshine. We’ll add that this is Tessa’s usual morning spot, but she’s got that nippy Yeowww toy elsewhere to contend with.
So, Dad spent his vacation week trying to get Pia interested in canned wet food. She’s the last holdout. She will lick the wet food gravy, but she absolutely will not eat the food. He thought he had her after she went all day without her Iams kibble, but in the end, she licked all the gravy and moisture off the food, and nibbled/gummed a mere quarter of the quarter can he offered her. The next morning and throughout the day, she refused any and all fresh wet food and by evening’s end, she got her kibble back.
Even as a kitten, she preferred kibble over canned wet food. Of all the Colehaus Cats, she’s the one we’d really, REALLY like to get switched over to wet food. She’s proving she’ll be one tough nut to crack!
Don’t be surprised if our posts are a little sparse in the coming week. Mom’s only halfway through her crazy work month and either she’ll need a lot of sleep at the end of it all or she’ll go post-creating bonkers to keep up. Thanks for your patience/tolerance!
