Re: A few more of Darcy and Minsky


I had to come back and look at these lovely boys again! I love the way that Minsky looks so relaxed in those last few shots over the arm of the chair or sofa, but he is as bright as a button and the alertness can be seen in his eyes - ready to pounce on anything!

Re: A few more of Darcy and Minsky


DH - I agree on the toy front! The only toy I've bought them that they love and use is there little spongy, bouncy balls. They play with those every day and never get enough! The others are: old shoe laces, cardboard boxes, big bits of newspaper (they often just explode through these!) and bags. Not forgetting us sleeping in bed and jumping on us; that's the best game of all!

Thanks Angie! My two are very flattered They are both such chilled out cats, my OH's parents came to visit today and they were all over them, sniffing and purring and saying hello. They just don't freak out at all. We've had the flat next door refitting their kitchen, and there's been electric saws and drills and all sorts and they haven't freaked out once! And yet at the same time they can be SO energetic. Darcy frequently randomly runs from room to room for no reason. Never a boring night in that's for sure

Re: A few more of Darcy and Minsky


Makes me wonder if they were right saying the boys might be part Bengal...very, very high activity level! Mine have always loved old shoelaces, especially long ones from trainers..even my lazy girl !

Re: A few more of Darcy and Minsky


The high activity level of them is one of the main reasons I thought they might be part Bengal. I'm just out my bed at 10am (it is a Sunday morning!) as since 9am Darcy has been jumping on and off the bed and meowing. He is now quite happily chasing a ball around and mrrp-ing to Minsky to join in. And he's now just attacked a piece of foil I dropped on the ground

They do love shoe laces, but get jealous if one is playing with one. I once tried to do two at once, one in each hand, but sadly I'm not that multi-talented

Re: A few more of Darcy and Minsky


They certainly sound very active. Perhaps they have bengal somewhere in them.

Re: A few more of Darcy and Minsky


This morning Minsky kept yowling and carrying his ball over to me so I could throw it for him. The more I play with him and his ball, the better he becomes at 'fetching' it; I was stunned the first time he did it! He used to just pat it ovre to me with his paw and then look at me as if to say "well, throw it again!" but now he picks it up in his mouth and carries to my feet!

Needless to say I was 2 mins late for work as I couldn't resist his big kitty eyes!
