My two cats keep me laughing. They are too funny. I am not sure who started this first. But I think it was the Dude. When he is sitting, he usually keeps his left front paw out in front of him. I have no idea why. But it seems Brendel has picked up his habit. Maybe he is left handed. Anyway, I saw them both chilling on the sofa together earlier, when the sun was out. They were both bird watching with their paws stretched out. I opened the blinds so they could get a nice view out the patio doors. Many birds are visiting the suet and peanuts. This is great entertainment for my cats. Now they are both sound asleep. The Dude is snoring of course. Bird watching is hard work. Rain is starting to fall. Such a relaxing and peaceful day to enjoy today. Snapped this photo from behind the sofa.

@DianneN I know they watch each other like a hawk and don't miss anything the other one does apparently. Keeps me entertained.

I like when cats are playing with one of its paws with anything that moves. They even throw their paw at you and would start a playing game that may result stimulating for them as well as for one

@Juliaacv Oh you have no idea. And when I am feeling bad or just a little down, they know. And here they come. Funny how they have different personalities but seem to tolerate each other very well. Brendel is the boss but the Dude is ok with that. My babies.

Handsome animals you have there. Did you know that cats can sleep up to 16 hours a day? Our five seem to take turns.

That is just so amusing and precious. My cats have a heads-down position, They sleep on two chairs behind my laptop to warm in the afternoon sun. They both sleep curled up with their heads hanging down, Go figure,

Isn't it the funniest thing! I was so caught off guard and glad I had my iPhone in my hand at the time. I think they are buddies, especially in the winter. They cuddle a lot. But when I am around Brendel makes sure she gets my attention. The fact that the Dude has always accepted knowing she is the boss has helped a lot.
