Piggy Cat

Our new baby is eternally hungry. Unlike our other cats, who will sniff people food, but not stoop so low as to eat it, Bonsai will eat EVERYTHING. He follows me frantically as I eat my morning cereal. He will climb anything in the house to get to ice cream, popcorn, or a grape. I have seen him sniffing around the edge of the kitchen, licking up bread crumbs and lint. Not to mention the millions of times we have to chase him out of Zah and Zazzy's bowls. You would think that we never fed him, but in reality he has a continuously full bowl of IAMS Kitten Food - the only thing in the house he ISN'T interested in eating.

In other news, Bonsai is also obsessed with napping, climbing screens, and staring at the ceiling. He continues to terrorize the big kitties (and Mikey), while he charms me with adoring "mearps" and "meorws". Our nights still end sometime around 5:14 AM with one of two things happening: 1)We have to get up to separate the baby from the big kitties because of the hissing, or 2)We have to save our legs from the whirling dervish that is Demonikos, as he chases his own tail between the quilt and the top sheet. We spend the rest of the day trying to wear the little beast out so he will leave us alone for awhile.
