Another Day in the Life (4). A long time since I used this title. Now it is just Opie and Nicholas around the house. Today we will see the normal routine–4 am antics, playing with things, searching for Nemo and the invisible cat who returns today. In the top left photo you can see the red curtains I had to cut Nicholas out of as he hung by his front paws.

Nicholas is bigger. His tail has gotten bigger in proportion to his body getting bigger. He mostly holds his tail pointing right like he is signaling a turn. He still won’t let me pet him but he hangs out near me. He grabs my leg if I am too slow dishing out dinner, and one day picking up a food dish, he slapped it out of my hand. Opie sometimes lets him eat her food. He is constantly talking and likes to chase balls thrown on the stairs.

Today Opie keeps the bag, and Nicholas finds Nemo!
Big and Little. Opie is big and Nicholas is little. He is growing fast! July 4th fireworks did not bother him much as he spent his time near my feet under the piano stool. Sometimes he would look up if a big boom and look at me and I would just say his name and he would put his head down. He had a ton of toys with him. Photo below.

Cat Gallery. It is difficult to take action photos so these are pretty tame. Videos have not been so hard. My video channel on YouTube is @thecatcatio2593. Put this in the YouTube search box. All I have ever done with it is to post videos from it on here. The actual cat catio is a shambles presently. Nicholas could get out. I think Opie’s female instincts have switched on, and she knows Nicholas is a know nothing kitten, so she is playing and watching after him. Nicholas has different sleeping spots depending on the time. I was sitting beside his sleeping spot and he jumped up right next to me and went to sleep. I wanted to touch him which he does not allow, but I didn’t press my luck. I can walk by him without him running off. I will bide my time until he comes to me.
Nicholas and Opie play chase me.
