Gratuitous Furity – Redux

Well, some people came over to look at the house, our landlord has finally gotten fed up with us and is attempting to kick us out. Maybe the true story is slightly different, but not as juicy.


Only Morgan, the littlest one, was actually brave enough to come out and greet the strangers in our home. Of course there was a baby present, and thanks to Sister #3, I now have a fear of “baby goo” to go along with my baby drool phobia.

The sleeping habits of our little family have changed, mostly since Morgan has decided that our pillows make a great bed for her, so she will mostly sleep by Wife #1’s head, but sometimes force me to use less of the pillow than I generally like.

On Saturday we cleaned and cleaned the house. It had been in a disheveled state, but someone was stopping by to look at the house, and since we live in fear of our abusive landlord we try to keep him happy. This meant scouring the floors, making sure that there wasn’t a hidden furball somewhere that we had missed. The amount of furballs that the cats generate is only amazing until you see how much fur they have.




This is just THREE of them! One nice thing about this picture though, it shows the “big brother” role that Arthur has taken on. He is always cleaning the other three cats and making sure that they are ok. Merlin one time got stepped on and let out a pitiful yowl. Arthur came charging over to make sure that nothing life threatening had occurred.

Of course Arthur can be a little selfish. If Wife #1 gets up during the night and he notices, he will immediately steal her place in bed.


Percy doesn’t sleep on the bed as much anymore. We have a chair in the bedroom that we are really trying to keep clear of clothes, and he likes to sleep there. He is still close to us, but still has his own space, which he cherishes.



Merlin now has his own “bed” on the big bed. I slide my pillow over about eight inches and he sleeps there for a bit, or sometimes just sits there and exults in the attention that he gets.




Recap:

Merlin sleeps by my pillow, Arthur will curl up between Wife #1 and myself, Morgan makes a bed for herself on our pillows, and Percy is always lurking, waiting to join us at a moments notice.

It is certainly a good thing that we got a king size bed.

Peace out.


After talking about how great Blogger for Word is, I have just discovered that it will not upload pictures by itself. What a piece of crap. I hereby withdraw my recommendation for it, even though doing so will cost me millions in endorsement money.
