Monday Night Update
Well, today was a pleasant surprise. My university had some sort of holiday or another today and canceled classes. No one felt it necessary to inform the white guy, but I figured it out when I was the only guy in the building at 8am!
This allowed me to finally head out and explore a huge store here in Shenyang called Metro. It's a Sam's Club or Costco type place, and another ex-pat had gotten me a membership. I found exactly what I was looking for - a large plastic pan that would serve perfectly as a litterbox, and better yet it was on sale!
You may recall that up until this point I had been using a cardboard box with the sides trimmed down and lined with plastic. It was a pretty poor substitute to begin with, and things only went downhill once Slooty decided she liked to rake her claws across the plastic!
Anyhow, I've got a real litterbox now - and boy is Daddy happy!
I also was able to spend a long day just hanging out with the girls - my fiancee is away for job training this week so it's just the three of us. We had a great time!
Despite their somewhat ragged appearances (ringworm!), they're little tigers and spent the entire day goofing off and napping.
Slooty is still too big for Luna to match up with very well when they wrestle, so I rescued Luna a few times when Big Sloo was starting to play too rough. Once Slooty konked out for a nap though Luna came over and wrestled with me! She knows that daddy isn't going to play too hard!
Slooty and I played an excellent game of hide & seek this morning, but as the picture shows, she still has a lot to learn about how best to hide...
She gets points for creativity, but didn't quite manage to pull it off... can you find my kitten?
Gotcha cat! Go hide somewhere else! "Ok daddy!"
Gotta love these longhaired cats - they look about 3x as big as they really are once you compress all that fur. It's hard to believe she could fit in there, but there was plenty of room to spare!
Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas is right around the corner... come December 1st there will be a green, triangular, plastic kitten (Christmas) tree dominating our tiny living room!
