pretty in pink

We have been having some nice weather in Virginia Beach recently...not.  It has actually been sweltering HOT.  But about a week ago, we did have a not so hot day, and I let Lynx outside to play.  I could only find Luci's collar and leash...which both happen to be pink...  But Lynx was okay with it.  He is comfortable enough with his masculinity that he can wear pink.  ;)

Of course, Shirley had to be outside as well, and she happened to step all over Lynx when we were playing fetch.  Good thing Lynx's collar was one of those breakaway ones, it snapped right off his neck when he ran off.  I might have choked him if it hadn't.

FRIDAY! again!

We never used to have problems with fleas.  Not until we brought Lynx into our home, anyway.  Him and Luci used to be the same size, so I could just get two months worth of cat flea medicine from our vet and split it between them.  But, I have recently discovered (and I pretty much knew this when I purchased the medicine) that Advantage for a 9 pound cat will NOT work on a 13 pound cat.  *sigh*  Looks like I have to suck it up and buy a big pack at PetSmart or amazon for EACH cat.   But, it's not his fault.  So, I can't be mad at him.  Plus he is just so darn cute!

one weird cat

Lynx has recently developed a new...routine in the morning.  Once I start waking up, he leaps up on the bed with a quiet "meow" and starts to dig/paw at the covers and try to burrow himself under them next to me.  Weird cat.

he's a follower

I have noticed over the past 5 years, Luci has gone through many different sleeping phases.  When she was just a kitten, she used to sleep right by my head.  Then she slept in between Jeb and me.  Then she slept at our feet.  Once we got more pets, she slept under the bed...and now she sleeps on Jeb's feet.  I always thought she was just weird, but maybe this is something all animals go through...or maybe just cats?  Lynx has done a lot of those same things.  Now, he sleeps right next to me.  And usually wherever we are in the house, he is not too far behind.

Even though I love his attention....sometimes he can get in the way.

Happy Birthday Lynx

Just like Luci, we don't exactly know Lynx's REAL birthday.  We kinda figured he was born in the beginning of May.   He really has been a joy this past year.  I never thought I would ever love a kitty like I love Luci.  Here are a couple pictures of when he was a kitten and what he looks like now.  :)

Happy birthday, Big Boy.

Best Friends

Jeb and I started watching The Lord of the Rings series a few days ago.  Lynx has been on the couch in between Jeb and me every night.  Last night I caught Lynx holding on to Jeb.  Must have been a scary part?



And I swear, we did not move his paw like that.  And when Jeb would try and move his hand, Lynx's paw would follow!

Handsome boy.
