Bingo and Bongo - 1 and a half years

Well, I finally got a cat flap fitted in the end cos two boys in the flat day in day out getting bigger and being restricted was all getting a bit much more than we could bear.

I have been through phases where I think, was I wise to do this, to get two cats which restrict my ability to go and see friends and stay with them but they are so adorable and such wonderful company that I always come round to a more positive way of thinking.

They love it when I'm in and rarely go out. If they do they are back within minutes and when I'm on the old laptop, they are in the radiator bed nearest to me sleeping, fighting away.

As I wonder around the flat, the smaller one, Bingo, has a habit of trailing my every foot step and gets into these fits where he miaows and miaows until I can't stand it anymore and coming round from my sub-conscious, reach to either pick him up and fling him over my shoulder or just bend down and give him loads of attention which soon has him purring and writhing on the floor. He is a funny one. He can just be near me and start purring.

They are still not allowed in my bedroom as there penchant for want to piss on anything blanket like, duvets, towels, flannels, blankets, remains.

I still have the cat litter trays in the bathroom which are being used less and less but I am at odds as to know when I can get rid of them for good. I can say however, that they use them less and less but do like pooing in them for some reason, often coming in from outside especially for this purpose.

I came in one day this week to find Bingo on his own in the flat and the kitchen door shut which meant that the 3 stools up against the kitchen door had somehow fallen down and Bongo was locked in with food and litter trays. Both were crying piteously and were delighted to be re-united with both myself and each other. It took me quite a while to quieten them down!

Here are some recent photos of my two beauties.
