Playground Warriors

Wednesday
4/1/2009

Arnie seems to have overcome whatever stalled his weight gain over the last few days. We were never really worried, because his energy level seemed good even though his appetite diminished a bit. Based on today’s weigh-in, he must have strapped on the old feedbag in earnest over the last 24 hours. Caddo too, since he feels like a fat little panda now.

We’ve started to give the boys additional time on the playground, some of which is unsupervised. They still seem to spend a lot more time crawling under the dressers on their bellies and prowling around under the bed than they do trying to climb the bed, the wicker hampers, or the ladder. We may call them the Rockets, but they’ll never be confused with the Flying Wallendas.

They might do well, however, as a tag-team wrestling duo. Admiral Arnie and Colonel Caddo? We’d have to make little masks and capes for them, of course…

Actually, the Rockets won’t be a wrestling duo much longer – they’re getting a big sister! We’re picking up a solo kitten named Lois later today at the shelter. Apparently Lois is about two months old and needs to gain a little weight and socialization before she’s ready to go on view. We hope the Rockets are nice to her, but if not, she’ll probably be able to swat them down to size – capes and masks or not.
