Snuggling with River
Last night there was a particularly cute snuggle moment with River while Sarah was rubbing her ears. This is what a very happy cat looks like!

Simon on my lap via PhotoBooth
I was digging through my kitty photos and found this little gem! I took this video with the Mac program PhotoBooth, which uses my laptop's built-in camera. Usually films that I take this way don't turn out very well, but here you can actually see Simon's cute face for most of it.
This was taken in late May, I was finishing up the semester for grad school and Simon was "helping" me....

Playing with Melissa
Here's a montage of the cats playing in August and September, including when our friend Melissa came to visit and Simon got to play with her!
The red dot returns!
Some more recent laser-pointer games with the babies.
Simon still runs in circles when we swirl the red dot around him. Derpy boy!!

Playing catch
Here's the video of the cats' new favorite game. Sorry it's a bit shaky; hard to toss toys and hold the camera steady at the same time!!
October updates
It's been quite a while since my last round of updates! I just added a metric ton of pictures, the posts are all back-dated through September and begin on August 21. If you want to be sure you didn't miss anything, start back at the Bug-hunting and Late August cuteness posts. Almost everything since then (most of September and all of October) is new today.
Let's see, funny stories... River's newest way of waking me up for breakfast, after she's tried meowing and pawing at me, is to take a small chunk of my hair in her teeth and pull!!! I can only imagine how ridiculous it must look. We haven't been coordinated enough to get it on video yet, but I really want to see it!! It doesn't hurt, it's just funny. Hungry kitties really will do anything!
Simon has taken to peeing on my clothes if I leave them all over the bedroom floor for too long (but only if I've also forgotten to scoop the cat box for a couple days). I suppose it's good motivation not to do either of those things!
The cats now really enjoy playing "catch" when they get in their crazy moods of racing around the house; I'll sit in the living room and toss a ball or toy down the hallway, and they'll scamper like mad to chase after it. When they've rolled around and "killed" that toy, they'll wander back into the living room and I'll throw another one. This can last quite a while, since between the two sets of grandparents and us hippie mommies, the cats have a LOT of toys!! I'm working on editing the video of them playing this game.
Speaking of toys, I was fishing around under the fridge yesterday to get a toy they had kicked under there, and I found the other earphone from when this happened in May. That explains why we only saw wires on the X-rays and not the earpiece itself! Whew. Apparently Simon is not as doofy as we thought he was. :-)
(TMI warning!) Also health-related, we did the 6-month follow-up test on Simon's fecal sample, and he has no signs of intestinal parasites or giardia! This is excellent news. They only found the antibodies last time, so it's good to have checked back again to confirm.
Thursday we will have had the babies 9 months, which is about the length of time they were at King Street Cats! Lots of milestones and happies. :-)

Indoctrination...
River still loves watching Rachel Maddow!! Our indoctrination of the babies is continuing successfully!!
Funny Ways Simon Sleeps: Part 2
I swear, this cat sleeps in some of the weirdest positions... this is just a few of them! Sometimes he gets self-conscious and moves when I go to get the camera.
Stretchy-floompen on the new couch.
Curled up and twisted with paws in the air. Must be comfy!
I think I would wake up with back spasms if I slept like this...
With the larger and angled lap I create with my foot up, Simon stretched up into this position.
He's resting his back against my leg, though it's hard to tell.

Bigger lap
Simon likes this new trend of me lying on the couch with my foot up on pillows; it makes a bigger lap for him to sleep on.
It was tough to capture this cuteness in an arms-length camera shot, but I did my best.

200th post + recent cuteness
Woo hoo, ceremonial 200th post! That's almost 2 for every 3 days we've had the babies... wow.
Anyway, some early October adorableness in photo form:

Squirrel-watch activated!
Duet napping.
River really likes the new T-shirt quilt!
Oh, you're home? It's too hot for us to care.

Not paying attention to you
Simon likes my recently-acquired glider ottoman, which goes with the glider rocking chair. Here he is nuzzled between my feet:
*ignore ignore ignore... sniff?*
This position also made it easy for Simon and River to play the I'm-not-paying-any-attention-to-you game, as outlined in this video at 3:40.
