Face Off at the Catnip Corral

Pierre: The catnip toy is mine, and you can’t have it.

Newton: That’s what you think. What do you think is going to happen during the 18 hours a day while you’re sleeping?

Pierre: I’ll sleep on top of it, if I have to.

Newton: Umm, Pierre…

Pierre: I think I hear Ashton calling. See you later!

    Sometimes you just need to know when to take your exit, Pierre.

    Looks as if there is a very nice catnip toy sitting close by. We think these boys just like to get under each other’s furs. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, CalistaJo and Cooper Murphy

    MOL I love the way you’re creeping away, Ashton! (You should’ve grabbed the toy though while those silly boys were arguing!)
