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!

Manfred

It's Twozday, and we'll focus on Manny.

Manny is on his back legs, chasing something.

Manny's nicknames:

The Man

Brows (we say this one quietly)

Mans

Manfred

Things you may not know about Manny:

-The Hubby likes to carry Manny like a baby.

-Manny often usurps The Hubby's kitchen chair.

-Manny rarely eats a meal in one go; he'll walk away from a 2/3rds eaten bowl, which we remove so Chili Bruce doesn't play clean-up.  After a while, Mans begs for the rest, and we make sure he can eat in peace without CB trying to get at it.

-Manny will chew on anything green, and he especially loves fresh basil nabbed from the plant.

-In summer, a favorite napping location for Manny is on a box tucked into the corner of the bathroom.

-If I have a fleece blanket on my lap, Manny would make biscuits or knead from dawn 'til dusk, but I shoo him away after 10 or 15 minutes.

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.

Tiny Bubbles

It's Sweetnesday!

Rare occurrence: allowing me to hold her paw.

Bed hog.

What a funny face!

She has a new nickname, courtesy of The Hubby: Tiny Bubbles.

Sweetie is so wee compared to Da Boyz, one cannot help but marvel at her diminutive size.

We've had limited success with the appetite stimulant; will continue to tweak our delivery method.

New to the Sweetie Health program: Omega-3 oil, to assist her kidneys.

So far, so good with that.

Nicknames

We all have our cutesy widdle sillums names for our kitties, but do we tell other people about it?

NO, we don't!  Sometimes they are too wacky, and would take too much explanation.

That is...until today!  I'm going to broadcast for all to read, the goofy nicknames that I call our cats.

Aries

Well, we really haven't had too many nicknames for Aries, other than that we used

           to call him Romeo before we discovered that he had humans and a home.

He has been a bit aggressive when I walk out with food bowls in hand; even Patty has taken to hanging back rather than face him, but I don't like dropping into negative-land with Brat or Bad Boy.  Aries needs MORE love, not less!  He is a real sweet kitty, when he isn't afraid to show it.

Thank you all for the terrific comments yesterday!
