Grasshopper

Well, last night Virgil found a Grasshopper in the fire place. This thing was huge. He was just staring in there...I said, 'Virgil, are you daydreaming?' but then I saw it. So, I opened the fireplace up for it to come out. I thought Tux and Virgil could use a little spice in their life. So, Mr. Grasshopper slowly comes out. Little does he know...there are two cats stalking him...shaking their butts...POUNCE. Mr. Grasshopper jumps and jumps...cats flying all over the tables. Now Mr. Grasshopper is high on the window. They can't get to him...and they are not so happy. So Mitch comes in to see what is going on...b/c they were creating quite a commotion. Tux was crying and wanted me to pick him up so he could get a better reach...so, I pick him up, he swats at it...Mr. Grasshopper jumps and jumps…CATS FLYING...but now...we have a dog in the mix. Mitch starts leaping all over the place...I thought to myself, oh man what did I do. Ha-ha Mitch caught it. I thought he ate it b/c Mr. Grasshopper was MIA. This morning, I found him in the foyer...and he had some broken back legs so he couldn't jump. I think Mitch did a number on him... so I pushed him outside. That is the story of poor Mr. Grasshopper who meets the 'animal farm.'

Busted

I caught Virgil drinking from the toilet this morning!! EEWWWWWWWW He thought he was being sneaky...HA I caught him. This makes me feel even better now ..knowing he likes to suck on ear lobes. Which is not so nice in itself..lets add some toilet water!

Things going well.

I just realized I haven't posted anything in a while...then i was thinking, nothing fun has really happened ! haha I think Virgil is pretty comfortable. He still hates Mitch and doesn't get along with Chris too much. But I guess that can't be expected. Chris is more a stranger in Virgil's world since he comes home on the weekend. Mitch just looks at him and occasionally chases Virgil if he hisses at him. Mitch will chase him if he feels we are threated...like if Virgil hisses at Chris or me. Here comes Mitch flying around the corner.

This past weekend we had friends over, and they have 2 kids. Both cats were hiding from them. They were on the lookout for 'Bobcat.' At one point, Virgil was on the couch in the living room, and Chris was sitting next to him. I went to say hi, and as soon as Chris talked Virgil started to his. 2 of us was just too much for him. Then Mitch comes jingling around the corner because he heard the commotion, so i had to pick Virgil up so he doesn't scratch the couch. He sounded like someone was murdering him! kicking and screaming. I am no long afraid of Virgil. I'll pick him up and flip him around like I do my cat, and if he gets mad i just look at him and tell him to deal with it...he has to be nice. I think he truly likes it because I always get a purr out of him.

Sunday morning, I woke up to the kids talking about Bobcat. They were saying 'Bobcat' was on the stairs last night and wouldn't let us pass..he just gave us looks. too funny.

Right now Virgil is on the lookout for Mitch...Mitch is still snoozing. daaaaah dum. I hear jingles and Virgil is off.
