September 2008 challenge - Back to school - learning or teaching

[ancientgirl]

Growler, did she try what was in it?

You know, when I first tried to get Czari to play, she'd just hiss and run away from the toy. But I've noticed she observes the others a lot, so I think she realized that wasn't anything to be afraid of, so she was actually having fun. She loves toy mice and she's even gotten brave enough to venture on top of the cabinets! She sees Oksana up there all the time, so last night that's where I found her.

[Spatx]

Lol, Gracie has a new contender

[bendyfoot]

I love Nova's face in that pic, she's like HOLY CRAP!!! At least it looks like she gets the message...Jaida sticks her muzzle right in Gracie's mouth when it looks like that

My kittens taught me that sometimes deception is justifiable.

My kittens HATE getting their nails trimmed. I have many battle scars to prove it! I tried bribing them with treats, but they would just rather run away. I tried holding one down while a friend tried clipping, but the constant squirming made it impossible to cut the nail without a high probability of cutting the quick. BTW, I never cut their quick, so I don't why they squirm so much.

Now whenever I need to trim their nails, I clear out a section on my desk and lay down some towels. Since they like to nap while I'm on the computer, they will usually climb up and nap on the towel, instead of napping behind the monitor or by the door. Once asleep, nail trimming becomes a breeze!

My kittens, not knowing they just walked into my trap:



And just for the heck it, here are some more pics:

Azrael loves Wii!


I came home and found Kyuubi like this... I still don't know what he was up to...


What's so funny? I guess windows = TV for cats.

[growler~GateKeeper]

Joeyjoejoe great lesson learned and love the other 3 pics just hilarious

[lotus]

Joeyjoejoe Love that last pic Your cats are sweet. I wish I could get another cat but hubby loved his lotus and no cat/kitten will ever win his heart like she did.:sad: Not like I haven't tried, I borrowed cats and kittens it don't work.

[ancientgirl]

Joeyjoejoe, those two are soooooo cute! LOL, that fake out is good too. I sometimes have to wait until mine are asleep to clip their nails too.

Rottielover, your gang is always fun to look at. So nice to see Roxy playing.

Wendy, Lucy is such a little sweetie! I love the peek-a-boo picture.

[growler~GateKeeper]

Breeze those are simply adorable

[kanis]

Zeus has a thing for my laptop. If it's open, he's on it. I swear he's surfing the net plotting his plan for world domination.

[growler~GateKeeper]

Aww cute little Zeus learning to take over the world & he's probably also learned it's a nice spot to warm the belly

[ancientgirl]

Breeze, Bree looks like she's a good teacher. Archer is such a little cutie!

Kanis, Zeus has such a handsome little face. He looks so innocent, he can't possibly be trying to take over the world.

LP - both those pics are so cute Did Emma wait for the bus to come & watch Sandman get on? or would that be too embarrasingly parental?

No paws in the glass, I had to coax her up on the table, she already knew at that point what was in it & didn't want to sniff the glass cuz she doesn't like the fizzys up her nose

Oh my, Alley is quite brave, or is she instigating?

[ancientgirl]

L4H, I get the feeling Alley is a bit of an instigator. That bad girl.

Everyone has such great pictures!

Here's one I got last night.

Learning tolerance.



This is the closest they've sat next to each other where neither one is swatting or hissing.
