Milo and Otis

Mood: Very Happy, Very Relaxed, and Very proud of my momma
Listening to: Milo and Otis play

Hey ya'll! How's your Tuesday goin? Mine is goin fantastic.  Wanna know why? I have no classes today and I have no homework to do for tomorrow. Infact, Im not even going to study for finals or anything. That may sound irresponsible but I don't care. I need a minute to just enjoy what I have. I do have some big news for ya'll. Well, it was big news here in my lil home.

I have another kitten. His name is Milo. So, I now have Milo and Otis. Steve wanted to name him  Tard, Ralph [the karate kid's first name in real life cause milo was doing some judo moves when he and Otis were fighting - he was copying otis' ninja roll], Hobo [which i hated], and cat. He didn't want another cat. at. all. I couldn't help it. I couldn't leave him. So I brought him home last night. He's all gray, but it's a dark gray. He has white on his chin and his four little paws are white. He's got blue eyes right now, but I think they'll end up turnin green like Otis' eyes. He's small, but he's fat. He's eaten constantly since I've brought him home. The week that we go to the beach  is the week this lil man is going to get declawed, I think. I gotta get him fixed too.

Naturally, they're fighting.  I think Otis is more playing than fighting cause they chase each other. Then Otis will pin him and they'll wrestle a bit and Milo will hiss then run. For the first few hours I kept screaming at Otis to stop, but then I sat and really watched and Otis doesn't bite him. He holds him down and licks him. Mahahah! Now, sometimes he bites. Milo can hold his own though! Milo has one advantage. He has lil claws in his front feet and Otis doesnt.

Momma came down yesterday evening and saw em. Then she got mascara in her eye and had to leave.  I love it when she comes down. We just sit and chit chat. She was cracking up. I wanted her to help me name it, but she wasn't any help. mahhaahah! She left around 8. She was only here like an hour or so. Hopefully she'll come back down one night this week!  Otis is getting so big. I need to take some pictures of them. They were sleeping in the window together last night, then they curled up together and slept on the loveseat a bit. When I woke up this morning, Otis was sleeping behind my knees and Milo was sleeping on steve's lap.

The good thing is that they're eating and drinking out of the same bowls at the same time AND they're both using the same litter box.  I think when Otis stops trying to show him that he's the man and this is his house, it'll all be well. They're gonna be good friends. It's hilarious. They'll be playing in here in the bedroom and Otis will go into the living room and meow then Milo runs in there and attacks him. Otis really needed this. He was so lonely and so bored. He just walked around and meowed and Steve and I aren't home enough to keep him busy. Otis is eating more now, he's more active - it just makes me happy.

Today I have nothing planned, other than cleaning. That shouldn't take me too long. Gonna do a couple loads of laundry [it's all i have left to do], do the dishes, clean up, mop the floors maybe. American Idol comes on at 8 so I'll be watching that in hopes that Taylor wins. I'll take some pictures of Otis and Milo throughout the day and post them later on tonight so ya'll can see them. Im hoping to catch them sleeping all curled up together. Otis lays completely around him. I don't know if it's because he's protecting him or he's just trying to know if Milo moves. Mahahah! When I hold Milo, I have to hold Otis. I knew he would be jealous, but I don't favor either one. I still call Otis 'momma's boy' cause he is. Milo is  ' lil man ' lol! Catch ya'll on the flip side!
