A pretty slow day

I was out most of the day today, and I got back pretty exhausted. So unfortunately I had only about 30 minutes with the kittens before I seriously had to get some sleep.

It was hard getting some photos today, as both were play-fighting quite a bit. Seriously - it was the Kitten equivalent of Street Fighter in the living room today. Baron seems to have quit his drop-attacks after he missed and fell off the sofa while trying to jump on Ruby. She has a habit of grabbing Baron's leg and pulling him down.

Both were just playing though - they were snuggled up when I left them. Just as well - they were moving so fast, my camera could hardly keep up!


Here, the two of them are sitting down, pondering their next move. Ruby is above Baron at this point (about 6 seconds).


When Baron saw the camera, he was fascinated. Gave me time to snap a picture of him.


After a while, Ruby went and laid down in their bed. I managed to get a picture of her before she dashed off again. Which she did in 30 seconds time.

You may have noticed the pictures look different today. I used my Digital Point-and-shoot camera today to take the photos instead of my iPhone. Hopefully once I dig out my DSLR the quality will be sixty times better.

Ruby goes AWOL

Tuesday night we had a bit of a crisis. Ruby suddenly went missing. After scouring the house for her (I even crawled underneath my bed, getting covered with dust) we had no choice but to quit for the night. I fell asleep worried.

That morning, while me and Emily were getting together some breakfast, we heard high-pitched meowing coming from one of the bedrooms. We opened it up and Ruby jumped out! Cue a lot of cuddles and the like. She went and ate breakfast with her brother before snuggling up next to him for a nap.

We originally kept the kittens in the hallway, but it seems that Ruby likes finding dark, secluded spots to relax. So both of them are kept in the living room now, as there is just one door there and its shut immediately after its used. Makes the room a bit warm in summer, but its no big sacrifice.

Anyway, the two of them were pouncing around the room when I left them with Emily earlier. Baron seems to have been watching WWE or something, as he was doing drop-slams on Ruby during their playfights, using the sofa as a stand. Was very funny ^^
