Mute & Sark

Despite losing the spotlight as the center of attention in the Beneezee household, the kittehs are still prominent members of our domain.  

When we had our snow days, Mute spent a fair amount of time watching the snow fall from inside.  So kitteh mama decided to take her outside to see what it was all about.  She got a little snow on her face and, despite the chill, enjoyed the view.

We keep Xander's room closed during the day so the kittehs can't get in and eat things.  But when Xander is playing or getting tended to in his room, the kittehs will come in and check things out.  Mute really enjoys the rocking chair and typically goes right to it when she enters the room.

Mute also enjoys terrorizing the clothes hamper.  She has crawled through the bottom flap and slept in it, she's also gotten adventurous and jumped into the hamper before.  That didn't go so well.  She couldn't get out by herself, meowing ensued... now she just likes to peek in there and leave the adventure behind her.

Sark isn't as adventurous as the little girl.  He spends a fair amount of time chillin' in different areas of the house.  One of his favorites is the couch.  For a while we had a kitteh bed on the couch for he and Mute to sit on.  Here's proof of his enjoyment.

After a hard day of sleeping, stretching is a requirement...

But don't put yourself out, Sark, by all means have a seat!

Once Xander started crawling, it took just moments before he started heading up the stairs on his own.  So, while we waited for our extra wide baby gate with extensions to arrive, we brought out our old ottoman down and used it as a blockade.  It worked well and doubled as a new seating area to keep the kittehs happy.  They were sad to see it go, but it was cute while it lasted.

After moving the kitteh bed from the couch to the fireplace, the kittehs practically started fighting over who got to sit in it.  Eventually they determined that sharing is caring - aww, aren't they so cute?

They give us their share of grief, but overall they are good kittehs who are great sports about having a little human crawling around, making lots of noise, and taking attention away.
