Macky, Mowie, and Sunny

Some backstory is needed.

First, my living room area, along with dining room and kitchen, have cathedral ceilings. Two of the four walls in my kitchen do not go entirely up to the ceiling. Thus, there’s an ‘open’ atmosphere between the kitchen, the hallway, and the dining room. These walls, that don’t hit the ceiling, are topped with crown molding giving it a ‘ledge’ effect.

Next, my kitchen cabinets were delivered last week and are in brown boxes that vary in size. They were placed in my living room until I get the free time to install them. Coicidentally, these boxes form a series of steps, for the cats, to the kitchen ledges.

Sure enough, Macky and Sunny discovered the pathway tonight.

“Okay dada, let me get a close look at what needs to be done.”

“Ok, dada, you need to slip the wire from that hole to the lower hole.  Real easy.”

“Sunny! Let me take a look!!”

“Sunny, I know what I’m doing.  I’m the proffesorional awound hearah.”

“I’m certified to kick your ARSE!!”

“Where da treats, mistah?”

“No pictures please, a tubby girls needs her sleepies.”

::snoring::

“I ponder the meaning of life.”

“Harry Potter?!!!”

“No stoopid, it’s da-da.”

“I kill you!”

“You feeling lucky?”

Then…

Now…

Daddy is going to be so proud.

We know it’s been a while since our loyal fans (all 10 of you) have seen pictures of the kitties. They enjoyed their first Christmas, as well as their wonderful gifts, so we’ve been taking plenty of pictures of them!
Mac enjoying the fireplace…

the litter box and fountain our petsmart gift card bought us…

the dvd made for cats that mac and sunny actually watched! there’s birds on the screen and mac actually looked up under the table for them, and was pissed when they weren’t there. we’ve underestimated his intelligence…

sunny still loves his chirping-bird-on-a-string..

sunny and mowie bonding…

random kitten photos…

for those of you thinking that mowie is neglected, we just want you to know that whenever we take mowie’s picture she resorts to this hardass face and position, which couldn’t be further from her personality…

in reality she’s usually sillier than the kittens, but i guess since we’ve been flashing cameras in mac and sunny’s faces since they were 4 weeks old they’ve become immune to it. mowie slips into shock when the camera comes out.

I now have picture proof that all three cats actually love eachother.  I mean, why else would they be sleeping all a foot apart from one another?

We recently bought the kiddies one of those ceiling high scratching post things. Mowie has no interest, of course, but that’s ok, she’s a dada’s girl.

Macky and Sunny, however, have been all over it. They go from the desk, to the window sill, and to the 3rd level post — and then back. Very quickly. I haven’t seen anyone on the highest level, though (except for maybe Rebecca). I thought they were too young to venture up there. Rebecca did call it though. As we were setting the post up, she said they’ll be on top of the DVD racks. We shrugged it off thinking we had a few more weeks until they had enough courage to make the trek.

We were wrong. Very, very wrong.

On top of my DVD racks, I have three Disney animation cells on display that Rebecca bought me for Christmas (I love these things). Well, this morning, they were no longer there. Instead, they were on the floor. Scattered, face down, on the floor. Apparently who ever knocked them over doesn’t like Disney. Well, we can certainly scratch Sunny out — he loves Disney. Specifically, he loves the Lion King — he thinks he’s Simba. Also, a few DVDs were pushed out of their racks and onto the floor. I looked at the titles, but unfortunately, they led to no further conclusions.

And you all wonder how a kitten could break his leg.

I put everything away and went on with my day. As I’m online, I hear something — it sounds like nails scratching on plastic. I turn around and look at the scratching post; nothing. I look at the leather chair; nothing. Then, in the corner of my eye, I see this little rat on top of my DVD racks. He was just sitting up there laughing at me. It was Macky. The one with the broken leg. The one that has already lost, count it, two of his lives.

Oh, and I have proof as you can see below. My camera is dying so my flash wasn’t working. The pictures are of bad quality, but you get the idea of the situation.

Macky is being charged with 2 counts of being absolutely crazy. If found guilty, he could be held without MySpace for up to two weeks.

“Hm, what movie do I want to watch?”

“Sunny, what movie do I want to watch?”

“Oh, oh, Nemo! The Nemo movie, Macky!.”

“No Sunny, we watch guns.  And blood.  And war!”

“Sunny, your choices are The Fast and The Furious, Jaws, or the Rocky series.”

“Nemo!”

“I told you, we don’t watch kid movies!”
