KATIE: Why hello my little Neko fly. It's been a long time.
KATIE: You've had quite a love affair with a certain orange cat.
KATIE: Don't you think it's about time you went a little tuxie???
KATIE: It's going to take me a long time to get the taste of orange off this thing.
KATIE: A LONG time.
WAFFLES: Wait. What? Orange???
About Today's PhotosToday's photos are very special to us. It was just an ordinary Sunday, day before yesterday. Waffles was begging Glogirly to play with his Neko fly and Katie was lounging in a sun spot. When all of a sudden, Katie joined in and started playing with the wand toy too. She was jumping, twirling and her favorite... grabbing at the toy through the staircase railing.
So what made all this so special?
Ever since we started treating Katie for IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disorder) and feeding her a whole food diet, she's become so much more relaxed, affectionate and even playful. It's wonderful to see her feeling so good. And what's more, Waffles is learning respect. When it comes to play, that is. He's holding back, watching Katie when it's her turn, until he gets a signal that it's his turn. Oh, he wants to dive in and steal the toy, but he's been showing remarkable restraint. ... most of the time.
Do your cats take turns when playing? Or is it every kitty for themselves? ; )
Respect? Well, well this is good to know, Waffles has an heart of gold maybe now he is learning a bit of give and take too!
ReplyDeleteTo be clear... Waffles is showing respect when it comes to PLAY. We're still working on everything else!

That's great that Katie is feeling so well. I love the wild and crazy photo.
ReplyDeleteGlad ya are feelin better and havin fun playin Katie.
ReplyDeleteKatie, you were doing the head tilt! I love that you are feeling so much better - and that Waffles is more well-behaved. Too bad Binga can't take some lessons.
ReplyDeleteSummer is right, you're totally working it with the head tilt, Katie. Ashton uses that move to out-cute the rest of us. It's great to hear you're feeling so much better. Around here, it's everykitty for themselves at playtime, which usually means Ashton retreats and Newton takes over. It must be an orange cat thing.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad Katie is feeling better! Now if only Waffles will let her eat & sleep in peace.
ReplyDeleteWe actually take turns when the mom plays with us. It's hard for me to do it, but I try. Glad Katie is feeling so much better. ~Ernie
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that Katie is doing so well!
ReplyDeleteIchiro has always let me play but I think it's because I start in when he gets tired. It would never work to let me play first!
ReplyDeleteLittle Violet is very playful and she usually jumps in, even when I'm trying to play with Hansi. But when he does play look out! He shoots through the cat tunnel like a torpedo -- you better get out of the way!
ReplyDeleteThat's how our house is Katie. Only it's a HOPEful terror here. She's always grabbing others toys. LOL.

You and me, Katie. We still play like kittens.
ReplyDeleteMy kitty brofur Rhette has a wand toy because mom says it will help him lose weight. When she plays with him Taffy and I watch because we just don't get it! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Katie is feeling so much better. With one young whippsnapper (Annabelle) and three old geezers you can guess the level of play is 1 to 3! MOL
ReplyDeleteYay for Katie ! I learned to take my turn and let Zorro take his turn when we're playing since a few weeks. Purrs, Pixie
ReplyDeleteGo Katie! It's wonderful that she's feeling more energetic and playful!

There are cats that take turns?!?!?! Huh, I wouldn't know what that looks like since none of my 4 know how to share anything except the water bowl. Even that can get a little dicey. :)
ReplyDeletePS - LOVE the head tilt, Katie. I'm so glad you are feeling so much better.
Katie..you made me squeal with that head tilt..Do the kitties here take turns??..uh..sometimes..maybe..
ReplyDeletethe expression on Katie's face in the second photo is my absolute fave!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWaffles growing up?? Katie, maybe there's hope yet!
ReplyDeleteKatie, glad to hear that you are feeling better. Looks maybe Waffles is starting to mature a little!?!?!? We can only hope!
ReplyDeleteOh it's so good to hear that Katie is more relaxed! It's just amazing how something like a change of diet can make so much difference! xxx

I am glad you are feeling so much better and more relaxed now Katie.
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so happy you're feeling so good, Katie!!!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Katie is feeling better! It's hard to believe Waffles is capable of sharing...but that's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest, Saku (he's six) is the ultimate pest and has no boundaries. The other two, Sami and Sasha will wait their turn ...and keep waiting until Saku tires of the game.
I'm so glad to see you playing Katie! That is a really great toy :) I'm sure that it has missed you as much as you have missed it.
ReplyDelete-Purrs from your friends at www.PlayfulKitty.net
Katie is looking good.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Katie! We're so happy that you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI would get some of that whole food of MomL could find it. I don't have IBS but my diet might change my anxiety when TKS is near. Katie, can you teach me the Head Tilt?
ReplyDeleteSo happy Katie is more playful, we must never lose the kitten inside. Waffles is grate at channeling his inner kitten.
ReplyDeleteSuch great news to read that Katie is feeling more like herself and playing with her wand toy in her favorite ways...pawsome! In the Warehouse apartment, it's everyone for themselves when the wand or Red Dot make appearances. Coco only plays with the dot and she gets annoyed if anyone else chase the same dot she is chasing. It makes for a crazy play time!
ReplyDeleteWow...Waffles seems to be maturing. We know that makes Katie happy. Super adorable photos as always. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
