Sunbathers

 I'm grateful for the sun, especially on these cold days.  I had to capture my beautiful cats who were also enjoying the sun.  I love how Kira practically glows.  😁

Cat Hoodie

I ordered a hoodie for Arien to wear since we noticed how calm and chill she was when wearing the donut.  I struggled to know what size to get and I ultimately choose to get a small after taking her measurements.  I was able to get it on her, but it was definitely quite small...  😂 

I ordered a medium from the same company, and it seems pretty perfect!  She doesn't walk normally in it, but she doesn't hate it.  She gets so loving and wanting so much attention whenever she wears it.  I'm glad I have this on hand now to put on her whenever I need her to chill out if she's got a really bad attitude or calm down if she's feeling scared of something like the rain.  

Donut Cat!

 A couple of months ago I noticed that Arien had a sore on her tummy.  I thought that her and Kira had gotten into a rough fight, and maybe Kira bit her hard enough to break the skin some.  I took a picture and decided to keep an eye on it.  Over the next few weeks I'd notice she'd be licking that spot a lot and I'd take a look at it and take another picture.  Eventually I realized that she still had the spot and it had been 2 months since I first became aware of it.  So she went to the vet.  The vet felt that it was actually an allergic reaction to something in her environment changing.  I avoid changing things, especially with the cats, but I also don't have control over the companies I purchase things from making changes without me knowing.  So anyways, I have zero idea what caused this, but in order for it to heal, she needed to quit grooming it.  Thus I bought the donut of shame.  The first picture is quite literally Arien's immediate react to it.  But as you scroll through, you may notice that she doesn't look mad in the later pictures.  In fact, Arien almost seemed to like the donut.  We noticed she was so calm and chill.  Not only did she not hide in the basement while it rained, but she sat in the window to watch the rain.  We consider making her wear the donut for the rest of her life, but that's not actually feasible.  Haha!  Plus, Kira was initially terrified of it and therefore of Arien.  And while Kira got over her fear of Arien in the donut, they were no longer playing together.  So we enjoyed the calm and chillness of Arien in the donut and looked into buying her a sweatshirt to wear instead as a long-term solution to when we need Arien to chill or not be afraid. 

Sleepy Kitties

I finally got some pictures of the kitties since I had my camera out to take pictures of the hamsters.  The cats mostly wanted to just sleep instead of pose for me.  Aren't they cute?!

Cat Bath

The commotion from me photographing my hamster in Halloween costumes was enough to wake Arien up from her nap and get her to come out and investigate.  She seemed confused why this chair was in the middle of the room, but was happy to have the vantage point it provided.  Kira just sat in her usual spot watching as I moved the chair back, much to Arien's dismay.  I did catch Arien cleaning her mittens which always makes me so happy.  She's so cute!

Grumpy Cat

Arien can be such a grump.  Unfortunately, oftentimes when she gets in a super grumpy mood, she takes it out on Kira.  This time she just sat their glaring at me because I had the audacity to kiss her when she didn't want to be touched, let alone kissed.  😂 

Cats

 I had my camera out to take pictures of the hamsters, so I snuck a couple pictures of the cats too.  Per usual, Arien looked so mad.  😅😂

Arien Posing

 It's been awhile since I've taken any pictures of these pretty kitties.  Normally Arien doesn't cooperate for pictures, but today she was all about it.  She was such a good model for me!

Sunbathers

 Kira and Arien love sunbathing.  I love when I catch them sharing the same sunbeam.  😊  Aren't they so cute?!  😍
