15 Week Countdown- Week 11: Catch Me if you Can

Welcome to Week 11 of our 15 week countdown to retirement! (Just click over to HERE if you missed the big announcement.) 

Today's post celebrates Ellie's kitten-cuteness and her gumption and confidence when it comes to "Mister" Waffles. She still quite a bit smaller than her big orange mancat brother, but she's anything but intimidated.  Just like when she was a kitten. Enjoy our sweet Ellie Belly!

Catch Me if you Can

ELLIE:  Hey, Mister Waffles. I bet you can't catch me!

WAFFLES:  Did she seriously just say that? 

ELLIE:  Bet you can't! Bet you can't!

WAFFLES:  Oh yeah? I'm like Supercat. I can leap tall scratching posts in a single bound. 

ELLIE:  Did you say SUPERCAT???

WAFFLES:  Single bound, Ellie. Single bound.

ELLIE:  Just a little higher...almost there.

WAFFLES:  Almost is still just almost. 

ELLIE:  Only a tiny bit more...if I could just...

WAFFLES:  Here, let me give you a paw. 

ELLIE:  Hey, wait a minute! Where'd you go? Supercat???

About Today's Photos

Waffles has been hard at work teaching Ellie how to use the scratching post. She's starting to understand the scratching aspect of it all, but hasn't yet managed to make it to the top. She wants to SOOO badly! Glogirly even put a smaller scratcher next to the pole to help her, but she's still just a little too tiny to make it to the summit.

Soon, Ellie Belly. Soon you'll be a Supercat too.
