My, How They've Grown

The babies are 5 months old and are both over 7lbs. With chicken treats as my devious method for luring them, I've trained them to scratch on a scratching post. They've stopped scratching on the chair in the living room, which was the intention, but it's also turned into a little trick. They show me they can scratch and I give them a treat. This evening, I came home and they both ran over to the post and began scratching vigorously. I am swollen with pride.

Check out the meaty little paws on this fellow!

The wrestling is getting more entertaining. There is often a blur of butterscotch and gray zipping by and glimpses of tails and limbs mid-air.

Check out the gams on this little gal!

Agnes is still the boss. She's taken over my pillow in bed at night. I've taken to scooting down and surrendering to her will.
