New chicks

We got our 2 new chickens after the passing of Satay...

So introducing Drumstick (black with the red neck) and Schnitzel (the red one)!

They seem to be fitting in well and all the girls were huddled together this morning (it was pretty chilly!!!)

Schnitzel in particular is very soft, almost like fluid.

I tried to pick them up this afternoon, but they wouldn't let me. Hopefully when there are two of us in the coop we might have more luck!

Basil vs Ratty the toy

At IKEA today I got the cats a bundle of little toys and finger puppets.

James theory is that we need to train the cats to kill mice seeing as they were so lousy at it when he tried to get them to do it. 

Apparently Basil is our only hope ;)

Lexi vs Plastic sleeve!

Our cats aren't that particularly plastic bag obsessed, but then given you have to pay for plastic bags here in the ACT, we don't really leave them lying around, they go in a cupboard to be reused. We mainly use the enviro bags.

What our cats DO love though, is plastic sleeves! Strange I know. But then they are all quite special.

 Tonight was Lexi's turn... I had a sleeve sitting on the bed and she dived into it, literally. We often refer to her as Maru (if you haven't seen the Maru videos, you have to look them up on youtube!) as she does running dives into boxes. The other day she got the Soda Stream box stuck on her head ;)

 So I got the camera ready and waited to see if she would give the plastic sleeve some love again. I didn't have to wait long...

 

 Note: no cats or plastic sleeves were harmed in the making of this film.

Cat Burglar

So apparently we have a pick pocket in our midst!



He continues... yummy money!!!


Apparently Daddy's money isn't any good!

Kitty Bjorn

James and I are thinking of manufacturing Kitty Bjorns ;)
 She was happily carried around for about 5 minutes LOL!

Hanging out...

This morning Basil was trying to share Elly's food, but her cone got in the way! Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get it on video! But then Bert decided the best way to share her food, was to get in her cone... Note Basil smooching up to Elly ;) That kitten has NO fear and will stand between her legs and share her food. He also will let her lick him.
 

 Then G was getting ready to put her shoes on and Basil thought that was AWESOME!
