Checking in with the Cousins

The head peep has been cat sitting for cousins Earl and Shep this week. As you can see, Cousin Earl is doing well. He lost his collar somewhere in the house, but the head peep can’t find it anywhere. Paws up for the hiding job, Earl!

Cousin Shep would like to know when dinner starts. He’s a very sweet kitty, but when the head peep arrives, he thinks dinner should happen immediately. This is his “can we eat yet?” expression.

The head peep managed to capture a shot of Cousin Earl just after a bolt of lightning struck just outside. You can tell from Earl’s fluffed tail what he thought of that!

Our cousins are doing great, though they really missed Aunt O and are glad to have her home again. We’re kind of glad to not have to share her so much, too!

    Cousin Earl and Shep sure look good. Great pictures too. We are always looking for food too. It is hungry time all the time around here. Have a great day.

    Earl and Shep are looking good! I lost my collar in the house once. The mom never has found it. She ended up having to buy me a new one including a new tag. ~Ernie

    Cousin Earl we second how you feel about thunder and lightening and living in FL we get too much of that! Yesterday Mom was glad Ping was sitting on her lap with a pillow between them because when the thunder went “KABOOM” he jump so hard and his claws went in so deep Mom thought the pillow screamed from being attacked!

    It was great to meet your cousins! They are such cuties! I hope that the thunderstorm didn’t last too long. My kitties are not fans of those either.
