I don’t actually have kids yet but there are days when I sure feel that I do. My kittens can act like kids on their worst days. They are such handfuls. Gabby is a ball of energy, as only a 3 month old kitten can be. Punk follows Gabby and does the Mama Bear/Sister thing, depending on what’s needed. Together they’re just trouble. (But so freakin’ cute when they’re asleep, no?) When they’re cooperating and playing together, it’s insane. We’ve gotten used to hearing random noises and crashes. Someday those noises might be something else but we’ll just probably chalk it up to kitty play. Our blinds will never be the same. We also have random bags and boxes littered around the kitchen that get used as cat toys. The Calaphon outlet bags are the best. They’re made of a stiff material that the cats can’t scratch up. They spend hours playing in them and trying to mutilate them. Yay for cheap cat toys!
They’re now double teaming the morning wake up. It used to be just Gabby who jumped on me. Now the Punk is in on it too. I try to ignore it for the most part, but it’s hard, especially when there’s 2 cats fighting/playing on top of you. I’ve taken to sleeping with the water bottle right next to me for maximum protection but even then it’s not a sure thing. Gabby still comes right back. Punk runs, she hates the water, though she does sit on the side of the tub, in between the curtains, while I’m showering. Her tail gets rather wet. Gabby is still meh about it, though she has just discovered the wonders of the toilet bowl.
Last night Gabby discovered the joys of burrowing under the covers. She’s so different than Punk that way. Punk HATES feeling trapped and does not like being under the covers. (Can’t see a way out.) I think she may have been trapped once as a wee kitten and that traumatized her. She even tried to break out of the car. (A hyperventilating cat pacing around the car and throwing herself at the windows while driving home is well, interesting. That was the Boy’s marvelous idea.) Gabby on the other had doesn’t care. She’s fine with being under the covers and in her carrier and all that. Plus she can attack feet much easier under the covers.
I talk about my kitties all the time. They’re always up to something and/or always getting into something. There’s always a story.

Petra is nearly 3.5 and Loki will be 3 in February and they still act like this. I love it when kitties are such good friends. Even if Loki is kind of a dick to Petra sometimes.
Yeah, Punk gives Gabby the smackdown all the time, but you gotta think she's just letting the young one know who's in charge. But they do get along. Took about a week of getting used to each other and Punk realizing that the little loud annoying one is NOT going away.
