In tent

I have a new favorite spot -- it's what Mom and Dad call "tent" ... basically, they are in bed, usually sitting up, with their legs bent up and the covers over their knees. So I will get under the covers and under their knees. It is so warm and cozy. I'll stay there for a while, sometimes up to an hour, until eventually slinking back out from under the covers.

This is a trick I learned from Josie. This used to be one of her favorite things. Years ago she would sleep under the covers tucked up tight against Mom. Being the youngest of the McKitten-Cats I learned a little trick here and there from the other three. It is nice for Mom and Dad, since we lost Jasper, Josie and Huggy Bear in the last year, to see me replicate some of their traits and habits. I think it's very comforting for them (and me too).

The BIG tent

Mom and Dad's godchildren, aka The Twins, stayed over the other weekend. They were having some things done at their house so they spent the night so the 18-month-olds weren't "helping." One the the biggest perks to having the little ones in the house is their play tent.


You can see it looks like one of out play tents, only bigger. Josie likes to hang out in it. She's the bravest around The Twins.


She'll play in the tent, but the cars really don't so much for us. In this picture the tent was working as a barricade to keep The Twins in the kitchen (the gate is just a little short for this entry).


Maggie likes the tent too, but only after The Twins are in bed.
