Four Sleepstyles In One Night!

These are old, I have such a backlog of pics to post! Anyways here is how it starts, with a belly-down worshiping of the mattress:

Damn...doesn't she look sooooo comfortable?

Top view, kinda awkward pose.

Now it is the sideways flop, paws relaxing...

Mildly pancaked.

Ooop, there goes the limb stretch.

Then Tuffie goes for finish with an "Oh no I'm not waking" curl.

Now this is true sleep appreciation!

Cleo Bringin' The Sleepstyles

So cute it deserves to be seen 4 times:




Literally I "heart" sleep. :D

Tuff Gave Us A Scare

About 3 weeks ago I suddenly noticed that Tuffie had a large lump on her left side of her back. Of course there was imminent panic, and feverish searchings on google to glean the cause. In the end I sorta suspected the vaccine (she was vaccinated with Leukocell just 2 weeks before), but it was still freaky. I couldn't wait so the very next morning I took her to Dr. Wallace, who did confirm that it was a reaction to the vaccine and there's nothing to worry about.

Phew.

Now I am glad to report that the lump (originally a good 5cm in diameter) has now shrunk to less than a pea size. I'm so relieved that it wasn't a tumour... Anyways according to various sources it is not really advisable to vaccinate every year, especially with an indoor cat. Well we just picked up Cleo from the streets so I decided to get Tuff her booster. -_-

No photos this time, there will be a picspam coming sometime this weekend. I'm absolutely swamped with work. So here's a couple of links to vaccine types and reactions in cats. Enjoy:

It's A Love/Hate Relationship

Awww...from the back everything looks to be all fun and love...

Waitaminute...

Chomp! Cleo goes for the neck.

Tuffie's face says it all - the long suffering look of
patient mothers everywhere.

.1 sec away from kitty pandemonium!

Sunday Sucklings!

It was all quiet in the house. My mom walked past the dining table and happened to glance at the chair...

...at first she couldn't believe her eyes...

What the...is Cleo suckling?

Then Tuffie gave this look as if to say: "hell yeah" :D

These next batch of pics were taken my me a few days later:

Lick! Tuffie would clean Cleo ear to toes when she's suckling. Cleo also seems to have picked up some cleaning techniques from the Tuff. :)

The utter look of contentment.

Tuffie's gone to dreamland...Cleo's just barely hanging on...

Oh? There she goes too. Can't you just hear the collective purrs/snores?

lol, Parellel Sleepstyle

Must be nice having a warm cat udder on your forehead to lull you to sleep...

Look at that tail! Cleo's turning out to be quite the raccoon.

So yeah, guess we gotta keep the bugger now ;) They are like mother and kitten, wherever Tuff goes, Cleo follows. She's also picking up her mannerisms, guess there is truth to the term 'copycat'. Cleo's starting to sleep a lot too, and has a nice little pad of fat on her belly :P

Signals From Outer Space!

Tuffie is set to receive otherworldly broadcasting
through the addition of a blue laundry-basket. Watch her eyes
glow as she tunes in to the frequency...

...blech... "I can't believe they still show that kind of shows in the other galaxy!" The Tuff is quite the TV critic.

*System Overload* Your Tuff has crashed and needs to be reloaded.


These pics are oooold. Taken with the Nikon last year. I've got a TON of backlog that I have to catch up with!!!

The Sleeping Dead

It's a Saturday...what is your kitten doing?

Not channeling some vampire/zombie-esque vibes whilst dead asleep...?

Emphasis on the "dead" part...Cleo is easily posable when she's asleep. Which makes for hours of fun! :)
