Chucky Jumps

He hates pebbles between his toes. Chucky prefers the big jump.

We're On Strike

Kip is still here. Chick and Chucky Upset. Here they are in a box in the attic. I wouldn't be surprise if they'd go on a hunger strike.

Get ye hence, you filthy beast. Go!

We have a guest dog for the weekend: 'Kip', a Heidewachtel (read: hunting) dog, 5 years old, very active, very alert. He knows cats, but Chick and Chucky are strangers to him. When he sees them, he wants to go after them. And if you don't let him, he fixes his eyes on Chick (or Chucky) cannot be distracted by any means.

The cats are less than pleased. Here's Chick engaged in a stare-out battle of the minds.

So far, there is no real winner.

(This picture was taken with the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone. While it offers many different effects, I prefer these dramatic black and white settings)

Trailer

Chick and Chucky should have their own road movie - going someplace, traveling. I love it when they run together. It's a pity they are absolutely not open to suggestions from me - there is no directing them. All I can do is film them whenever I can, and eventually making a movie of it, editing the footage, and coming up with a storyline where they are going - well, somewhere. A saucer of milk, perhaps?

Cat Nap

Chucky loves eiderdown. He sneaks in for a nap or just sneaks in and stays there for hours.

Roof Climber

Strolling in the gutter is fine - till you see someone else is higher up. Chick wants to come to me (just because I'm higher), but the roof is too steep for her. In the end, Inge helped her climb up and I pulled her in through the window. She was purring at the top of her lungs.

A Free Ride

I am trying to take a picture of Chick as she walks away from me. But whenever she sees me, she runs towards me and the camera, so that proves to be a lot harder than it will look when I eventually succeed in taking that picture.
Today at first was no exception. There I am lying on the ground, and she sees me and heads for the lens. But then Chick got distracted by the wheelbarrow parked behind the stable and decided it was the place to be for her. At least for a while.
