Ideas taking shape

We finalized a small extension to the temporary extended catyard yesterday evening. And the cats loved it! Our ideas for the permanent extended catyard are taking shape. Next step is to specify and try the details. And last but not least: to find the time:-)

This is Beverly a couple of weeks ago, watching over her realm. As you can see she is transforming from a pure blacksilver into something brownish. It will be interesting to see where she will end colourwise.

What if this way? Or that way? Or maybe like this...?

Our lovely Bekka taking an afternoon nap in the catyard (May 17). She loves being out here :-). We are thinking about how to make the current extension more proper and a more permanent one. There are many things to consider though. It needs to be safe, look proper, have access to the house, be large enough etc etc. I guess we'll need to go to the sketch board. But not today.

Friends or foes?

Well, I honestly don't know. Sometimes it seems like Battus gets along really well with the females, especially with Beverly. I even suspect he has a crush on her :-) But then, other times he picks a fight with them - all the time... And then Beverly gets pissed off and starts a fight and then hell breaks loose. Oh, I do hope they will get along. Bringing fours cats together wasn't as easy as we thought it would be.
This is one of the rare occasions when Battus and Beverly are having a cosy moment together.

Oh no, more knots...

Yesterday I found some more knots in Battus' armpits :-( Luckily the special "anti-knot" spray arrived in the mail yesterday. Perfect timing, I must say. I tried the spray once yesterday but I'll need to try it again. Battus feels so so about the whole thing but I believe he think it's nice to get rid of the knots. This afternoon I will comb, spray and comb again. And if that doesn't do the trick I simply have to cut the knots.
This is Battus, not so furry yet, last April.

Battus is growing

Battus is growing. He now weighs about 4,6 kilos. He still loves to cuddle and wants to be picked up. Every day! His coat is also growing and getting thicker. I am fighting against knots and I've just bought him a special spray for untangeling knots. Let's hope it works! This phot was taken May 24 and he is 9 months old.

A busy week

Well, it's been a busy week. So today I'm just gonna share with you our sweetheart Beverly. Her coat is getting more and more brown. Hm... wonder where it will end.

A true top model

This is Battus last week. He is a really beautiful cat wwith a coat like no other... I hope we've made it to the international cat show in Stockholm in July. It would be fun to see how the two brothers have developed these last months.
Well, tonight it's time for the first semi finals of the ESC 2009. Let's hope Malena makes it to the final. I guess Beverly will paddle with her front paws on the TV screen as she often does when the TV is on. Gosh, she's soo cute!

I want a snack!!!

Truls is growing fast. I think he'll be as big as his dad. Last Sunday he weighed almost 5,7 kilos. All bones and muscules - so far :-) But he is always hungry. I try to sneak into the kitchen but in vain... He hears me every time and will not miss the opportunity to get something to eat. In a nano second he is sitting glued to my shoulder, begging for a snack.

A lady with a great personality

Bekka has a great personality. She is social but has a high integrity at the same time. She even keeps aloof from time to time. She sets the rules for when she wants to join the others in their games and when to do something else on her own. Bekka loves to play. Like Battus she loves to chase the red laser beam. But other times she likes to sit on her own and watch the garden and inhale all the scents in the air. She often wakes me up with a purr and a big kiss on my nose :-). At the moment she is the second biggest cat, next to Truls. She weighs about 4,5 kilos. Just like Beverly she is very feminine in every way. They both have a really girlish scream when they think the guys are too rough in their games. Bekka has the loveliest coat with rough, long guard hair. This is our princess on the balcony April 23.
