Ever played awari? Then you know how challenging this game can be. Ever played it sitting on a sofa with a hyperactive kitten in the same room? Well done, you have gone one step further on the difficulty ladder.
Our awari was a present to Trave by his brother a few Christmas ago. It had been a while since we had played it by but we started playing again after Longcat's visit last month. The kitten LOVES awari. Particularly chasing the seeds and messing up with our game!
But look, she also have quieter moments, when she just happily lies on the sofa. Isn't she cute?
She has grown so much it is unbelievable! We have started taking her outside in the garden, under supervision only, until she is spayed. No flirting with the local tomcats for our beautiful lioness. Hiding in cycling paniers is unbelievably fun for a kitten. Well HIDING generally speaking seems to be fun for kittens.
Tissue boxes: she loves them so much we are building a tunnel/labyrinth for her. We are at 4 boxes so far. I wonder I long it will take until she cannot fit in them any longer!
Luckily, she has not knocked any of the plants over yet. I thought she would be discourage by the cactus but she loves rubbing against it. And I suspect she tries to eat the bamboo when we are not around.
We have had our kitten since Friday night and it is really cute! It is meouwing a lot. She probably misses her family. She is a tortoiseshell kitten, mostly brown with a lighter/white belly and dark paws. She is very furry and fluffy like her mother.
Assuming she is a girl, which should be confirmed by the vet next Saturday, we have named her CHATOUILLE. It is is French for "tickle". In France, names of pets born in one year start with the same letter and 2007 is the C year. And 'chat' the first syllable of CHATOUILLE, means 'cat' in French. So, Chatouille it is.
So here are a few pictures of our little fluffy ball.
Isn't she cute?
She loves doing acrobatics on the coffee table and the dining table. Both are very interesting tables for a kitten, as they don't have 'just 4 legs', but loads of bars on which she can climb and walk.
Too bad we have not had the opportunity to film her on the laminated floor, it is really entertaining!
Here is a video of her playing in her basket.
She is really good. She was very shy the first night (who would blame her?) but she got used to her new place and to us very quickly. She even already has a 'favourite' spot on the sofa! On Trave's side :(. Appart from one incident this morning on one of the doormats, she has been using the litter, has been eating, drinking, meouwing, purring. She scratched the rug and chair legs a bit on Saturday, but has learnt to use her scratching board since then! She is learning very fast.
And here is a picture of Chatouille inside the 'kangoroo pocket' of my jumper. (she did not like it too much as a means of travel!)
