He has learned to jump

Thor the kitten has grown enough that he can now jump to counter height. The house is his oyster. Below is a picture of him on the top of our headboard, about six feet tall. He is licking his lips because he just used his jumping skills to get up on Izzy the cat’s feeding shelf to eat senior cat food. He then discovered there was yet another level. He is quite proud of himself.

Not her tail

We’ve been working with Missy the dog for a long time on letting people touch her tail without her growling. Apparently we did our work well. Here is a video of Thor the kitten playing with Missy‘s tail, and she doesn’t even care.

I have also decided to promote barbershop as the background music to my shorts, because everyone needs to hear a chord ring.

Earing

Izzy and Thor earing each other

Thor the kitten took a toy mouse up on the bed to play, and Izzy the cat heard the commotion and jumped up to investigate. They both then had to lay down and pretend the other didn’t exist, but I can see them earing each other. No, not earring, Spellcheck, ear-ing, verb, to point ears at another, not admitting existence, but keeping under audio observation. Very cat behavior. Should be a word.
