Those would be the names of my new cats here in Chicago. A long-haired black male and a short-haired tortoise-shell female. Both incredibly playful. Both incredibly adorable. I spent most of last Friday evening ‘catproofing’ the apartment to get ready for their arrival on Saturday. Tying up cables, moving breakables higher up, cleaning everything, and just making sure my apartment in general would be a safe environment for them.

Since they’ve gotten here I’ve been tripping over cat toys (and cats, too), sweeping up litter non-stop from remote corners of the apartment, and chasing them around to keep them from eating my plants. I absolutely love it.

It’s been a while since I last had kittens around and I definitely forgot how much fun and just how destructive they are at the same time. They’ve already done quite a number on my sitting chairs. Regardless, I’ve been having a ton of fun playing with them and having them around the apartment.

The wanton destruction is truly a small price to pay for having a cat sleep on your lap while you update your blog.
