Shapes

Now that Agnes has claimed her throne as Ruler of All Household Creatures, she's taken to sprawling out on the sofa cushions, where she holds court, accepting belly rubs and chin scritches, as she pleases. I have made mention that she resembles an otter when she's on her back and she still permits me to shower her with adoration. Here she is keeping a close eye on her brother who was about to insert himself into the scene.




I hope Henry will forgive this slightly unflattering perspective, but his body position reminds me of a bubble bath bottle from my childhood. I also like it because the past few evenings I've come home to see him peering down at me from that window as I pull into the driveway.

Weighing In..

We weighed the kittens again and Agnes is a full 7lbs! That's about 1.5lbs she's added in a little over a months. Other than the big post-meal belly, she is a clean, lean, kitten machine.

She has added even more phrases to her vocabulary. I'd even venture to say that she's talkative. Most recently, she started to sing out and add a playful "brrrr" sound on the end when she wants attention. This new song is generally followed by a paw tap on the leg, requesting she be picked up, or prior to her presenting her belly and the 'air biscuits' she hasn't quite mastered.





Sir Henry, seen here getting his gentleman on, now weighs 6.4lbs. He's been a little behind his sister in growth and teeth development, but he has more energy to burn and is a more lanky. He doesn't engage in the 'MEOW' unless it's during the shark frenzy that occurs while their food is being transferred from can to bowl, but he narrates almost all of his actions with chirps and grunts. I am curious if the other Pettibone kittens have similar vocal tendencies.

Thank you!

Thank you to Theo at Cute Overload for setting things right. The post remains on CO, but the mysterious Helen B. has been removed.

Welcome to all the new folks checking out Agnes & Henry! I'll be posting some new pictures later today and look forward to sharing the continued adventures of my little cats.

Not Cool

I would like to make a public notice that photos from this blog were posted on the http://www.cuteoverload.com without my knowledge or my permission. Someone identifying themselves as Helen B. submitted photos and text from this blog.

I have contacted Cute Overload and requested that the photos be removed.

I am a fan of that site and appreciate the response from those who found this blog via that site. We all love the cute and fuzzy. However, let me be clear, it is not legal, nor is it ethical to claim someone's creative work as your own.

Thank you..
