Like most substances, the Cosy Apartment’s beasts expand in the heat. The warm weather in our part of the country has meant fewer hours spent in snug cat-beds and more on floors and furniture, including the bed. Add to this the strange phenomenon that seems to occur when a new cat arrives – that is, the replacement of enmity with apathy on the part of the resident felines – and we have sights such as this.
The three boys have been spending more time together on the bed, or at least in the same room. Neville has been much less anxious near or passing by Tucker, and Tucker has been less hostile to the Nevsky’s proximity. The advent of Portia has given the boys something else to think about, and concerns about having to live with each other have, if not gone by the wayside, certainly dominate the road much less than previously. The introduction of the new girl has accelerated the process of peaceful co-existence, even to the point of physical contact without violence; one of the advantages of having new roommates.
Now, if only they would contribute to paying the rent…
I hope they move over a bit when it's
ReplyDeletetime for you to go to bed John..
Can't imagine you curled up on top
of one of those cat stands! :o).
Sometimes I think there'd be more room for me there...
DeleteBeds are very comfy and a great place for cats to sleep .I sleep there too ;) Good to hear there is less catfighting and everycat gets a comfy spot on the bed. Good too that Olivia is helping reduce fighting among the boys :)
ReplyDeleteAs for rent, well, we cats do not have money but we are mighty cute :)

Typical teenage boys to group up and see who will attract the girl. Just act nonchalant and that ought to get her attention.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh. Male bonding of sorts. Property socially distanced, of course. :-D
ReplyDeleteIt does remind me of "the boys" retreating to the man cave...
DeleteThey never do help pay the rest. The simply murmur in passing us, that we are fortunate to have them with us in our homes. That, having been murmured, concludes discussion on the matter.
ReplyDeleteKatie, don't you know that we pay the rent, but the cats own the apartment??
DeleteLynn's comment made me laugh out loud! Portia certainly will find out she is queen of the cozy apt!!
ReplyDeleteI think she might.
DeleteHow is your mother doing, if you don't mind me asking?
I don't mind. She's going strong at 89 years!!! She now lives with my sister.
DeleteOther matters with my cat, TomTom, came about. So I've not been commenting, sorry about that. Could I email you with the particulars? It's quite a story, at least I think so.
How interesting; warmer, means more peaceable living arrangements.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they might even be touching a tiny bit.
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteIt's funny how they permit touching in their state of relaxation. Whatever brings them together is good.
ReplyDeleteI hope your apartment has a/c. It is going to be ridiculously hot for the next few days at least.
No air conditioning here, unfortunately, and in the evening the sun shines directly into the apartment. We sweat a lot.
Deletethis photo is too cool !!! :)
ReplyDeleteYOW...catfather...dood....hide de $$$$$$$$ that waz collected frum ********* and hide it well dood...
dad menshuned de werdz: help...pay
;) ☺☺♥♥
I think he's hidden it well, because I've never been able to find it...
DeleteIt's always nice to connect with friends!
ReplyDeleteThe boys have to stick together, a female may try and take over! Apart from that, when it is hot you don't want to waste energy quibbling about other things.
ReplyDeleteThey are like a fuzzy and furry puzzle. Purrfect!
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet that they decided to call a truce as it were!
ReplyDeleteThey sure look relaxed!
Now THAT looks like a very cozy moment!
ReplyDeleteToe to toe and tail tip to neck is definitely a sign of a treaty being signed in some hidden spot. Publicly, all claim victory while none lose face. Now we watch what happens when fine ship Portia steams into port
