Stories that is.

#1: Mithu has proven again what a good and patient big brother he is.
He hopped up on the arm chair where I was sitting with DD2. There was
not enough room for him to sit next to us, so he was partially on my
lap too, and he was in reach of those chubby little hands. He was sooo
good when she reached out and pulled on his cheek fur, and his ear (I
stopped the pulling as soon as I could). She was thrilled when he
rubbed up on her fingers.  I did notice that he kept a wide berth of
her the next day, can't really blame him for that.

#2: Pippin is one of the most effective and obnoxious alarm clock cats
there is. This morning he topped himself. Instead of going to DH to ask
to be let out (DH was awake and had already fed them breakfast), he
came up to the master bathroom to do his howling, for the reverb
effect. When I stumbled out of bed (20 mins before the real alarm clock
was set to go off), he acted all lovey in the bathroom, so I turned the
water on in the sink for him.  When I was done in there, he had stopped
howling, so I went back to bed. To be serenaded again, from inside the
bathtub. By the time I had gotten my robe on, caught him and tossed him
outside, the baby had woken up. I want my 20 mins back!!
