In my entirely unbiased opinion, Avellana is the cutest sleeping cat on the planet. She stretches out long and folds her paws over her face and looks adorable. This quiet time is the only time she lets us pet her for a long time, but it is so rewarding! She purrs up a storm. Couldn't be cuter!
Avellana is much bigger now, she looks more like a cat than a kitten. But she probably still has growing to do, since other grown up cats look huge compared to her. Her favorite toys: rings from milk jugs, ping pong balls, and pens. This weekend we have a turtle visiting our apartment, and the two of them are getting along famously. Avellana is more interested in the woodchips in the turtles' box than the turtle himself, and Terry has no fear of Avellana.
This is Tina, jack o'lantern evil doer. Tina provided us with tasty roasted seeds and spent a few days in our apartment before becoming mushy, moldy, and stinky. We sent her to a landfill on Staten Island. Unfortunately, we did not dress up for Halloween, but if we had dressed up, Kathryn would have been a bee and Jeff would have been a Belgian waffle.
