We got the cats a new cat tree today at PetsMart.  Here's some video of them
when we put some catnip on it to make it more appealing to scratch (Da Boyz
currently use our living room furniture for sharpening claws).

Adrian, this is a HUGE file, 38Mg, so let me know how long it takes to
download.  I checked out my MPeg Maker software and it doesn't have a
setting to up the compression!  :<

That's a pretty swank looking cat tree you got there.  Jessie
certainly did lay fast claim to her perch didn't she?

She jumped on top of it as soon as Ben brought it up the stairs - she didn't
even wait until he finished bringing it across the great room!  She didn't
even need the catnip incentive - she *LURVES* high places (she's our little
refrigerator cat).  Sammy, on the other hand hates high places - she jumped
up to the first perch and got scared and hurried up to jump down again
(granted, as much as she weighs, it takes a lot out of her legs and paws
when she has to jump down from any height - you can hear the UMPH from
across the room!  ;>).

Da Boyz love it too - Archer has fallen off of it twice already (he's a bit
of a klutz).

Tell me, do Da Boyz look big to you for being only a little over three
months old?  It's hard for me to judge, having lived with Samazon for so
long!  ;>

They're most definitely healthy looking little studs.  No doubt due to
the wonderful care they're receiving.

I did think they look very big and strong.  I said so in the post about the
video.

Considering my orphan kittens are over 2 months old, they look huge to
me. You saw
their pics I just put up on webshots, right?
That's a really nice tree. And Big Sister Sammy acts like she really
likes her new
little brothers.

Yes I did - and *WHERE* was the KFW??!!!  ;>

Ozzy and Archer (Da Boyz) just went to the vet for their last boosters and
to get some antibiotics for their URIs and intestinal troubles, as well as
being wormed.  They started out at exactly the same weight.  Now, at 3
months, Archer weighs 4 pounds and Ozzy weighs 4.25 pounds (I think it was
because Archer had a much worse case of URI than Ozzy did - he was the one
who was coughing all the time as well as sneezing).

But what really amazes me is that they put away *SO* much food and it never
shows in their bellies.  They eat half a (3 oz.) can each morning and again
at night.  But when I let them out of their room (they get closed in so
they'll eat their kitten food (Nutro Max), because they like the big cats'
food better), they'll run around to everyone elses' dish and eat every scrap
that has been left (the 3 adults share 2 (3 oz) cans among themselves each
morning and again at night).  *Then* they go around and scrounge all the
adults' dry food (they won't touch their kitten formula dry food).  But in
spite of all this they are so long and skinny they look like I'm starving
them.  I'm thinking about upping their food to 1 (3 oz) can each morning and
night.

I can't decide if they need more food, or if this is just their body types
and they'll always look long and skinny no matter what they eat.  Despite
their coloring, I really think they must have a lot of Abyssinian in them,
like these:

http://www.abytopia.com/catography.htm

They have the same *HUGE* ears - 5 times too big for their little heads -
the same small, very triangular faces, the long, long skinny tail, and the
long, skinny torso.

Yes, she loves playing with them - she's still just a big kitten herself
(OK, *HUGE* kitten ;>).

Their ears are so funny and kitten-ey!  I suspect they'll grow into
them, and into the rest of their bodies.  Among the cats here that
were quite skinny as kittens, remember, were Caliban, Dante, Scout,
and Silver. :)

Caliban??!  Skinny??!?!  Hard to believe now, isn't it!  ;>

Whether they grow into their ears, or end up looking like adult Abyssinians,
I'll always think they're the most handsome boy cats ever created!

XLNT! That's what I call Entertainment. And how thoughtful of you to place
it next to Kitty TV. How lovely to see the Samazon so playful, too.

Mere bagatelle to us Broadband Max types, we can peak d/l at 50MB/min,
although on this one your host was pretty slow and it took 2.5 minutes.
Thought you'd like to know even though I'm not Adrian :)

That tree outside the window is a favorite of the squirrels - it's on their
aerial path to the roof of my house on to the trees in the back yard.

Samazon loves her a little afternoon delight!  ;>

LOL!  I *always* love hearing from you, Gordon!  You guys do get *much*
better broadband than I get here!!

My conection isn't quite as fast as Gordon's, that took about 4 minutes to
download. I hope eventually we'll get ADSL2+, that should be about 3 times
faster.

Great video by the way, I've saved it to watch again.

Still beats me - it took me about 20 minutes to upload and then about 5 or 6
to download from the site.

Broadband envy!  ;>

Well, Cecile B. DeMille I'm *NOT*!!  And I cringe every time I hear my
N'Awlins accent (think Brooklyn - which is strange since N.O. is in the
deepest south, but people say the accent is identical for some reason).

No, they aren't identical, or even similar, but there are odd words here and
there that are pronounced the same.

Well, you've got to realize that after spending 16 years in Houston, I have
some Texan thrown into the mix too!  ;>
