Noodle, the Supervisor

Just wanted to share her supervising Dave tonight, from her optimal position inside the curly tunnel. We've had that tunnel for months now, and NOW she is using it! She just had to use it on her own time.

Noodle Progress

In all of our excitement about Noodle's daily adventures, I forgot to mention that she has been with us for over 4 months now, this being the fifth month in a week or so. ALOT has happened in these 4 months. Of course we expect to have progress, but it's been good progress, for the most part.

Primarily, her pee and poop - despite some diarrhea, baths, and now daily butt wipes - seem to pretty consistent. She is going every day, and although at times has pee clumps that are slightly smaller than we hope, for the most, her pee clumps are a good size for her 5 pound body. She pees about 2-3 times a day. Her poop has been consistenly hard, or at least hard enough to drop off. I won't say too much more since I don't want to jinx us.

She has gotten alot more used to the noises around the house. She was always cool with house noises like the dishwasher and washer/dryer. But she doesn't seem afraid now of when we come and go. Before, each time we come home, she would run and scurry away, at the sounds of the garage door. Of course, she still does now when you abruptly open the door, but if you come in without rushing, she'll greet you near the door.

And she used to hang out under the couch or behind the toilet but now this is HER home. Oh, she lets her brother live here, too. Speaking of her brother, they get along beautifully! Even though they have their alone-time time, they play together alot. There are rarely any hisses although sometimes if you watch closely, you can see if one of them is getting annoyed.

They now eat together, too. Since she is on the UR canned food diet (in addition to her feline caviar) to prevent crystals, they both eat at the same time. It's cute. I always felt bad having Bag eat in the bathroom while she waited and there was nothing for her.

It is VERY darling, to see her make this progress. We love that the two of them get along so well; we cannot imagine them apart. Bag is very much our little baby boy and she our little baby girl. And they very much rule the house, letting us serve them!

Glad It's the Weekend!

I think the kids have a hard week - what with all of the cuddling, chasing, wrassling, hunting, peeing, pooping, butt wiping, eating, snacking, face licking, cat tree climbing, deck sitting, and window viewing going on. I mean, how did they fit in napping and sleeping?

Noodle has been active, all this morning as we were getting ready for work, and tonite since we've been home. She has been helpful wherever we turn. Bag, on the other hand, just wants his snacks and a place to rest before his sister attacks him.

I'm sure we're in for a fun weekend - we love every minue with them.

All Dressed Up

It's been a few days since we've blogged - we've been busy with work (what's that?) but the kids still take top priority. They have found things, even the simplest, to keep them occupied ... mainly each other. There's alot of chasing and romping around, and we had our own Cat-wrestlemania, too. Dave added to the fun with this photo here. Noodle has a great sense of humor to go with it.

They have been pooping and peeing regularly, although Noodle's pee clumps have been slightly smaller these past few days. But she is eating alot and drinking every day.

Bag has been spending alot of time out on the deck. Noodle only goes out there at night. I wonder why. She has plenty to keep her busy in the house, tho. No worries, she sits and watches the world safely from the windowsill.

Last night, she slept with us, though Bag sleeps with us virtually every night. It's so loving to wake up and see her right there, all curled up next to us and even better when they are both there. It makes getting out of bed difficult. Of course, I don't really want to get out of bed in the first place!

Oh My, Bag!

Just wanted to share one of Bag's favorite resting positions ... sigh, gotta love him! And we do! Amazingly, she hasn't pounced on him when he's like this.

We've Been Busy!

Both babies have been busy running the house. We hear chases late at night, someone scrambling up the cat tree (rather than using the ramps like she's supposed to), and just this morning, I was awaken by someone climbing onto my chest and giving me my facial. At least she only weighs 5 pounds!

She has also figured out how to climb up onto the bench, then the bar stool, then the dining table. From there, she just suicide-jumps down. Drives Dave absolutely crazy. Wonder how many times she does without us around?

They have had daily poops and pees, and I must say, some of the poop is high quality poop! She sometimes poops twice a day, and we are pleased to see that her pee clumps seem to be her normal size. She is even eating up the flora powder that we sprinkle onto her UR food - good thing she likes it. Sometimes Bag finishes it for her entirely. She is also drinking water more, or at least we are catching her drink water.

Bag enjoyed some deck time today, seeing as how it was sunny. She doesn't seem to go out when it's bright ... maybe she needs her sunglasses. I'm hoping tomorrow will be just as sunny so he can get more outdoor time (even though he just came in from the night).

They have also been busy helping us recycle plastic bags and bottle caps. I cannot tell you how our living room is strewn with them - I think we need to move to a larger house simply for the kids!

April Fools!

Even though we missed yesterday's blog, we can tell you that the kids didn't skip a beat with their antics. Noodle was on top of her game, hunting and chasing her brother like there was no tomorrow. She insisted on climbing up to the very top of her cat tree without using her ramps, which drives Dave crazy, like the worried father that he is.

They have been eating together, and she has done pretty well eating her UR food and the flora powder. Her pees seemed to have return to normal. She has had successful poop trips, too. She just had a false alarm - what?! Hopefully in the next hour, her moment will return and she'll go. Perhaps this was her April Fool's joke for us.

She hasn't been sleeping with us much, only Bag. She certainly takes over the house, and enjoys gazing out the window. Wonder what she's thinking?
