Pollux’s spot

This is one of Pollux's favorite spots. He hunkers down on the cushion by the arm of the couch and can watch out the back door in case we get any visitors out there, but is also in prime position to hop down quickly and get treats in the kitchen. 

Soaking up the sun

Today's a great day to soak up some sun! 

Getting fixed

So this morning Castor and Pollux went for a "spa day" to the vet to get fixed. The people at the vet were super nice and scooped them up real quick at the drop off so Dad didn't even get a picture of the sad kittens. They did not like the drive over in the rain. But they'll be home this afternoon (and probably a little loopy all night). They had to fast after midnight which meant no food or water for any of us. We started to protest around 3 am. At least it kept Dad from oversleeping for the early morning drop off. 

Since we missed getting a drop off picture, here's Castor in one of his favorite hangout spots — the banister rail over the stairs. Weirdo… so many soft surfaces in this house and he likes to live on the edge instead. Little brothers …

It’s a tough life …

It's a tough life being a kitten at our house …

Goofy water cat

Pollux loves water! He's fascinated by the sink. But he loves the shower. He gets between the shower curtain and the liner almost every time Mom or Dad are in the shower. He's gotten in the shower before, but still where the liner is protecting him from the water. One day he's going to slip in all the way and it's going to be a bad day for him and whichever person is in the shower at the time. 

Snugglers

Mom and Dad love that the Chaos Twins will snuggle together. The four before us would hang out but not really snuggle, and Aslan and I also hang out and mirror each other, but don't snuggle. They are really cute and sweet. 

We had a vet visit (all four of us) last Friday to get our shots updated so now the kittens are good to get fixed. That should be soon. They are about four-and-a-half months old now and starting to be more like teenagers. 

Exploring the house

Mom and Dad gave the Chaos Kittens free roam of the house this weekend -- supervised. 

I'm still a little unsure about them now that they are in my space. It's one thing when they are confined to Mom and Dad's bedroom or bathroom, but now that they can come and sneak up on me at any time, I just don't know about that. Aslan has been a good big brother, snoopervising them and babysitting them as they explore. 

 Castor liked checking out the books in the parlor.

Pollux was really interesting in getting under the buffet in the dining room.

All the exploring really wore them out. Castor is really turning into a snuggle bug and loves to curl up with Mom and nap.

There was some scariness today. Mom and Dad put collars on Castor and Pollux so we can keep up with them and they won't sneak up on us as easily. Well, Castor somehow managed to get the snap of his collar in his mouth. Mom found him in distress. Mom had to cut the collar off of him because she couldn't really get to the snap, and it didn't break away like it should have. Castor is doing fine now, and I'm keeping a close eye on him. But it was really scary!
