Shadow and Lumpy

It's Twozday, and Da Boyz have different napping styles:

Manny, in a sunpuddle, with a Batman shadow.

Chili, whose nickname is Lumpy, is the lump under the blankie.

Napping nose to nose in my lap on MY chair.

Had an interesting thing happen:

I'd found a new cat food for all to try, and they seemed to enjoy it.

The price was good, the ingredients were good.

Yet, both Henry and Manny tossed their cookies, and there were these strange whitish pellets.

When I served that food once more, I watched Manny eat around these odd nodules.

Looked like pieces of barley, but were solid.

The Hubby and I decided that whatever those things are, our cats don't enjoy it, so I took the remaining cans back to the pet store where they were exchanged for our usual foods.

Moral to the story:

Keep your eyes open, and notice any changes in your cat's behaviors.

Also, go slowly when adding a new food or changing something.

Hope this wasn't TMI.

What's in a Name

It's Twozday!

Living With Loulou has asked for the origin of Da Boyz's names.
The answer is rather simple:

They were named Batman and Bruce Wayne when we adopted them.

Those names didn't match up with our knowledge of their purrsonalities, but we didn't know if they were names added by the rescue, or the names given them by their former owners.

We morphed Batman into Manny.

Bruce Wayne became Chili Bruce Lee:

Chili: after Chili Palmer character in the film "Get Shorty".

Bruce: from Bruce Wayne, Batman's alter ego.

Lee: after martial artist Bruce Lee.

The Hubby claims to have completely dropped both Bruce and Lee, while I'm more often calling him CB, Chills, or Brown Bear.

Manny is shortened to Mans, or lengthened to Manfred.

No matter their names, they are WONDERFUL!
