Need a little TP?

July 7, 2020Car-E, cats, petssusanmanzke

How can a little kitten get into so much mischief? Car-E always seems to be in trouble.

This day I came back into the house to find a trail of toilet paper out into the hallway. Car-E had been playing.

To keep the older cats happy, I gave Car-E his own room. It’s the small downstairs bathroom. Here he plays with his toys, eats, and sleeps. He also has his litter box there under the sink. Car-E likes his room and only has the door closed when his adventures get to be too much and he needs a timeout.

This day he was free to roam the house, but he found his way back to his room for some fun.

I could only laugh at his antics with the unrolled toilet paper roll. He had to jump for the tail to get it started, but he’s a cleaver one and went for the gold.

I took this video of him still having fun with his new, long white toy.

I hope you enjoy his antics and keep coming back to search for more videos of Car-E, and other things.

Another Car-E video

I catch only a few of this kitten’s antics. Car-E is always into some mischief. For him it’s play first, or maybe food, and then sleep.

Car-E is soft and cuddly when he falls asleep in my arms.

But he can turn into a playful biting kitten in seconds after waking.

I think he has doubled in size since coming to leave with me.

There are limits

Sunny is a very patient dog, but there are limits when it comes to Car-E the kitten.

In this video, Sunny seems to tolerate having Car-E close, but only for a few seconds.

When he had enough kitten closeness, Sunny just got up and left.

At least, this time Sunny didn’t bark. He’s not one to bark much, so when he does I notice (see me flinch), but Car-E never pays much attention to the dog’s comments.

The only one who isn’t accepting the kitten is our other cat, Cruella. When Car-E came close to her this morning, she hissed and ran upstairs–that friendship might take some time.

Just another day in my life…nothing earthshaking.

Poor spider plant

As I said, Car-E loves to play with anything. It could be a cat toy, or a pencil, or a dropped napkin.

Today, my kitten became playful with a plant.

The bigger house cats, Othello and Cruella, just chew on the spider plant. They do not play with it like Car-E.

He is a joy to watch.

I hope you enjoy his kitten antics, too. Too soon he’ll be lounging around the house like the older cats.

A new mop

June 26, 2020animals, catssusanmanzke

Car-E is very playful, which bothers Sunny the dog some. He also bothers the two old housecats that live here, too.

This video is Car-E playing with a headband I made from a length of T-shirt–which didn’t work the best for me.

Car-E grabbed hold of the white fabric and wouldn’t let go. Being a fluffy ball of fur, pulling him around the floor converted him into a mini-mop.

Everything is a toy to Car-E. Too bad he likes to race around the room and climb up my legs–that’s not a rash on my skin, it’s a bunch of little kitten nail holes….ouch!

Even with the nail issues, I love watching him play.
