Silly Nom

It's Twozday!

Due to seasonal temperature changes, Da Boyz have migrated to the huge corner beddy.

And yet, they still break away for some alone time.

Da Boyz health update:

Both REALLY enjoy their daily muscle mass booster chews.

We've removed seafood from their diets, although Manny has now become rather picky about what he'll eat.

No worries, we're dealing with this by:

1) Allowing Manny to walk away from his meal, then going back to it as many times as it takes for him to finish.

2) Introducing new flavors carefully, but no cat liked the lamb (The Hubby picked it, not me!)

3) Sometimes, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast inspires him to munch.

4) Simply feeding Manny in the kitchen corner, away from his brofur.

Nothing works 100% of the time, so we stay flexible and gently coax him back to his bowl.

Okay, the truth...I've grumbled a bit at having to police Manny, as I feel that I'm the cause of his reluctance to nom.

Isn't that silly?

Brown Bear

It's Twozday, and we'll focus on Chili Bruce.

King of the Front Window.

Sitting on his brofur in the double-wide scratcher.

Sleeping on MY kitchen chair.

His full name is Chili Bruce Lee.

CB's nicknames:

Brown Bear

Chills

Bowl Licker

Red Hot Chili Dog

Things you may not know about Chili:

-The Hubby has worked hard and long to get CB comfortable with being held like a baby.

-Chili often naps on my kitchen chair, while Manny uses The Hubby's.

-Chili Bruce rare walks away from any cat food that he's offered, and he licks his bowl clean EVERY MEAL.

-Chili loves to lick the remnants of raw almond butter, oil, or salad dressing from his human's dinnerware, and has munched on cooked broccoli and cauliflower.

-If a human is supine on the futon, CB will climb onto your chest.  He'll nap there, but beware if there is a noise or some activity that makes him launch off in a split-second, usually with claws out.  OOF!

Buttoned Up

It's Twozday!

We've kept a low profile during the recent wildfire smoke events, by staying sealed up at home with the window air conditioners running, and additional box fans and air cleaners doing their jobs.

Da Boyz weren't able to enjoy window whiffies, so they added extra time on to their napping schedules, just like the soccer games get those extra minutes tacked on.

Chili Bruce, in the Pink Blue Chair, under The Pink, and the blue is getting very washed out.

One will always find Manny near a plant.

When the humans were beginning to get cabin fever, and the a/c was making things rather cold, Da Boyz decided to gang up and take over my legs as I sat in My Chair.

Neither look really pleased with the situation, however, but this here human was purring with delight!

The Man

It's Twozday.

Manny is our star today.

He posed near windows for these images.

I try to avoid the light flare, but it sneaks in all the same.

On the microwave, trying to break off pieces of the Christmas cactus.

In the bay window.

On top of the fridge!

Manny doesn't seem to miss his eyebrows, and those bald patches make identification easier.

However, we'd prefer that his brofur Chili Bruce would NOT chew and lick Manny's noggin.

🤷🏼 🤷🏼 🤷🏼

Not Matching

Oops, this post came out on Monday in error, so I deleted it, and am reposting.

It's Twozday!

Da Boyz may or may not be littermates, but they are bonded and keep snuggling together.

Am still fascinated by their fur colors, probably due to the amount of time they hang out with each other.

The differences show with the right lighting.

Chili Bruce's nickname is Brown Bear.

Manny is Brows.

🤨 😹 🤨

Let's Hop!

Ah, it's Nice Out!

It's Twozday!

Da Boyz are enjoying the sunshine, the open windows and doors, and of course the myriad of napping locations provided for their comfort.

❤️❤️❤️

Henry Update:

Henry often climbs on me when we are chillin' in bed.

But he slides off, rear-end first, after a short while.

CBL

It's Twozday, and it's all about the lazy stylings of Chili Bruce.

Chili Bruce:

Really dark brown fur.

Will eat anything; the un-fussiest eater we've ever fed!

Licks his brofur Manny's eyebrows off.

Turns in circles before his food bowl is placed.

The Hubby calls him 'Chili'; I'm the one who says 'Chili Bruce', and even 'Chili Bruce Lee'.

Had one white whisker when we adopted Da Boyz, then he lost it a few months later.  Still hasn't regrown one, and Manny refuses to try to grow one of his own.

Has bald spots on the 'knees' of his back feets.

~~~

Henry Update:

We are having a heat wave!

Henry doesn't like open windows; too much stimulation, so he hides under the dresser, which can be problematic when it's time to give him his meds.

No worries; somehow, I've coaxed him out.

Storing Their Energy

It's Twozday!

Manny and Chili Bruce continue napping their way through the colder days.

Really, though...they are cats, and don't need an excuse to snooze!

I try to emulate them, as a fresh retiree, but they don't allow me to wriggle in between.

😹😹😹

Let's Hop!

Tall, Dark, and Handsome...Times Two

Another Twozday on Wednesday.

Manny and Chili Bruce do not disappoint.

Forehead to forehead.

Manny, in the round.

💕💕💕

 The Hubby never complains that I'm always carrying my mobile phone.

He knows I'm usually listening to an audiobook.

Or must have the proper equipment to snap images of my babies!

❤️ 😻 ❤️

Let's Hop!

One, Two

Let's have Twozday on Wednez-day!

Manny and Chili Bruce roam in tandem or solo.

The trick is to capture each when there is enough light, which is rather up and down 'round here, from sunshiney to cloudy/snowy in a matter of minutes.

Manny, in the big bed.

Chili Bruce, doing something odd on the floor.

Brofurs, snuggled up.

Big Beddy

It's Twozday!

Manny and Chili Bruce have moved their main napping location to the big beddy in the parlor.

Despite missing their company on MY chair, they look SO CUTE!

CB left, Manny right.

CB right, Manny left.

CB left, Manny right.

Note: Manny continues to sport bald patches over his eyes, as Chili Bruce will lick his brofurs' fur right off of him, PLUS he'll chew off Manny's head whiskers.

When they are both in my lap on MY CHAIR, I put my hand over Manny's noggin to stop CB's onslaught.

I'll get licked instead, or CB will look at me straight in the eyes, communicating that I haven't a chance of stopping him.

No one has ever said that I give up easily, dear Chili.

Oh, it's ON!

😹😹😹

Let's Hop!

In and Out

It's Twozday!

There are two cats in this image.

One is obvious, and that's Manny.

Chili Bruce is happily napping under the blanket in MY CHAIR, and on my legs, dontcha know?

Manny dislikes being undercover, while CB enjoys it.

Ahhh, Da Boyz!!!

😹 😻 😹
