Finally Friday - for us

Hello friends!
Sorry for the absence lately, I've been quite busy - sleeping! I slept like a log last night and couldn't be awoken for anyone. Apparently Mr. Cat tried - and didn't succeed. LOL I guess I really did need the rest, right?
Well Mr. Sunshine is out today - barely. There's a lot of thin clouds he's got to get through, so the beams are a bit weak, but they're just strong enough for some pictures - and a couple videos! Here, I'm trying to get Curzon to demonstrate his famous snorkel. It took a lot of affection and him getting up (lazybutt LOL) to make it happen, but I got a weak snorkel from him. The camera even picked up a little of his purring. Needless to say, fast forward a bit if ya just wanna see/hear the snorkel!

Then, we decided to have a little photo shoot, nothing exciting though. Well, except Jadzia demonstrating what we call the chicken leg position (yes, she does yoga LOL).

By this time, Nimbus was starting to look like he wanted to play, so I thought I'd see if I could catch that on video. Well, I was half right. A kitty did want to play, but it wasn't so much Nimbus - at first! This is the famous whip toy as we call it. Mr. Cat bought this before we became a family years and years ago. It's one of the cheapest toys we ever bought, and it's one of their favorites. It's a couple inches shorter because Curzon chewed it up when he was younger, but it still works. We have to hide it many a time because he'll drag it around and whine and yap so loud the whole world probably hears - but at midnight, I really don't wanna hear it! Nimbus loves it too, as it was his first toy and the reason why he's so agile on his feet. He was still a blind baby when it was bought, so it's all he really cares about most of the time. Shoelaces don't usually work as well for him. Hopefully someday though I'll catch him throwing poor Homie around (Homie Bear is a little stuffed bear that was intended for a human but Nimbus decided it was his instead). You guys will love that - the bear is huge - big as a rat! Not as heavy though, but for a cat, it's pretty heavy - yet I've seen him throw it behind himself, across the room, you name it, it gets flung, and not by paws, by his mouth!

So this is what we did today after I got home from work. Perhaps there's more to come, we'll see. Right now I got a JazzyCat on my lap getting herself ready for a hot date (with sleep lol).

My mom calls that yoga position "playing the Cello"! Shoot, that rat must be as big as a possum! I'd like a toy like that!
