Brave or Cheeky?

Good afternoon, dear friends. 
And so, mischief ensues...  Yes, I know this is a surprise to you, dear readers, since we are all well-behaved, gentlecats.   But, it does.   

A little background here...

Yesterday Grammy's neighbour, the gem we've spoken of in the past, brought groceries once again.   She is such a dear, sweet young woman.  Grammy heard the knock at the door... a tiny wee knock. 

It was her youngest daughter knocking, we think.  Camille!  When Grammy opened the door there she was with sister Evangeline and mummy standing on the opposite side of the hall.  Groceries were passed to Grammy and while she stood inside they chatted for a moment and 'what to her wondering eyes' did Grammy see? 

RONDO - The resident scaredy cat sauntered nonchalantly past Grammy looked down the hall, then wandered out a few paces!  Everyone stood there in shock!  He's never shown an interest in going out until this week. When Grammy set the recycling bag outside the door a few days ago he peeked past her ankle but stayed on the inside of the threshold.   This time he actually walked a few steps down the hall, turned around and howled at Grammy in disgust.

I think he was looking for food.  Since there wasn't any inside he thought maybe he'd have better luck with the neighbours.  Well, when that didn't pan out he stomped back inside past Grammy snorting in disgust.  I think he said something like, 'you got groceries, so where are ours?'  He does have a point!

Sweetie spends a lot of her time on the window ledges watching the neighbours.  She relays her observations to the rest of us ad nauseum... but at least it keeps her amused and we cats can ignore that which we don't want to attend to... as you well know.

We kitties are a little tired of having Grammy home 24/7.  She constantly photographs us... in the litter box (embarrassing), sleeping, eating, being cute.  It's a bit much.  But then, on the other hand, we do like the extra cuddles and snuggles.  So, we take the good with the bad.  But we are giving Grammy a lot of cheek in return.

Now that Spring has arrived we are getting into the spirit of it and romping around the condo, bouncing off walls and furniture and when Grammy's napping, off her too.  We love to startle her awake with a, "Oomph!  What was that?" 

We have the best fun when she picks up the camera.  She grabs it to take videos of us racing around chasing imaginary critters or chatting with her and we immediately settle down to nap.  No way is she going to capture us getting into mischief.  We know she'd hold it over us and demand bribes.  She's incorrigible. 

Well, dear friends.  That's all for this week.  Enjoy the slideshow below.  Our latest photoshoot.  *giggles*
