I finally managed to get a shot of Caliban just chilling, in one of his
favourite positions:

or

I've also uploaded some very short videos, one of Caliban sitting in a
new shoe box and giving the slow blink a few times, one of Mir outside
and playing with a plant (and fighting hard toi get rid of a seed she
accidentally got in her mouth), and one of Caliban hanging over the edge
of the fridge:

http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/frankiennikki/?mediafilter=videos

or

These are taken with the video feature on my camera, so they're not
great quality. The one of Mir is very grainy, because I didn't notice I
had it set to 'Compact.'

Ooh, I just realised it's recorded some sound, too. If you crank up the
sound, you'll hear me baby-talking Caliban in the one where he's sitting
in the box, and you'll hear Mir complaining in the background in the one
of Caliban on the fridge.

Now featuring short footage of mutual grooming session. (They are very
short because I only have an old 64-MB memory card in my camera. I've
ordered a larger one.)

Prices are coming down all the time, I just bought a 1GB SD card for £6.99
(about 10.32 euro) from the supermarket.

Wonderful set, more please! (in top quality if poss) - a 2GB card leaves
room for no excuses :)

I love the competitive nature of the mutual groom, Bandit & Claudius are
like that only more so, Bandit & Snowball a bit more relaxed, but Snowball &
Claudius donm't groom each other at all :(. BTW Cal needs to learn how big
he is, that box is only a footbath for him.

I noticed that, too (about Cali and Mir). The battle for dominance!

At least he didn't try to curl up in it!

Thank you. :) I just received my new memory card.

And that was a fairly calm grooming session. It can get much more
competitive, without turning into a wrestling match. Just each one
trying to 'out-groom' the other. Of course, sometimes it does turn into
a wrestling match.

Heh, I've seen him squeeze into even tinier spaces.

What a couple of characters!  Dante was very interested in Mir's singing.

I have a couple of vids of Dante on deck-- I should put them up today.

Cali on the fridge is so funny. What is he doing?? :lol:  I wish my
cats liked each other that much!

Heh, don't ask me. He is always looking around at the world in
amazement. 'What's that? Cool, man. What's going on? What are you doing,
mum? Why is Mir swearing at me? What's that? Cool, man.'

Miranda's complaining is very cute.  Unless she does this all the
time. :)  Buster's a little crybaby too, especially compared to Dot,
who usually just gives squeaks and acks.

Sometimes she does try to drive me mad with her complaining. My little
princess is never quite satisfied with the service around here.

In the still, that's what Mistletoe does!  She hangs over a chair arm
with paws outstretched.  We call that suu-per kitty mode!

Caliban does it everywhere - on the sideboard, on a table, on a cat
tree... The worst was when he did it on the roof of my shack last
summer. But he never falls. Except from the jetty, but he was craning to
see the birdies then. :P

I used to have a cat who would sleep on the back of an upholstered
armchair, all four legs dangling.  On a few occasions, she forgot where
she was and rolled over, resulting in a loud thump, followed by an
attitude of "I meant to do that".

Somehow, I don't think Caliban could have pulled off "I meant to do
that" when he was dripping wet. :)

It's so frustrating - I can't smooch him!!

Actually, I found that one the easiest to view. The others were kind
of jerky, the way old films used to look. But the one of Mir chomping
on greenery played smoothly.

He just looked so happy when you baby-talked him! Blinky-blinky boy.

He *is* eminently smoochable. You'll just have to smooch Roxy instead. :)

That's interesting. That one was very pixelated on my screen. The others
played smoothly, though Cali in the box was very dark, and I had to turn
my screen just so in order to see it. The mutual grooming session was
very clear, though.

The one of Mir in the enclosure *was* sort of grainy and pixelated. But
I meant it played smoothly in the sense of her movements looking natural.
The other ones looked jerky, like a film that gets stuck every few
seconds. Maybe because the Mir video was compressed, it streamed faster
to my PC? (It's weird, because I have a broadband connection.)

Yes, it is weird. They all play smoothly for me.
