Sookie and the Vacuum

We were doing some vacuuming and wanted to see how Sookie would react to the vacuum hose. This is what happened:

Sherbet's up to no good again...

Sherbet the kitten has been misbehaving yet again. This morning I picked him up, and he bit and clawed my hands, arms, and face! I know that he is really playing and he's not actually being aggressive, probably thinking that I'm just another cat, but he definitely needs to learn that, that behavior is unacceptable. Of course, it would also be helpful if my brother got his claws trimmed every other week (I don't think he has had them trimmed for a few weeks now).

This is how my face looked right after he scratched it up:

I also captured him a few days ago once again being his usual mischievous self. He is trying to play with Muffin the Guinea Pig, who is in her cage. Muffin doesn't fear him, though she probably also knows that he can't get to her while the cage bars are separating them. I also apologize for the poor quality, I was using my crappy phone camera (BTW: The black cat curled up on the chair is Cedric).


Getting ready...

 

Almost...

 

LEAP!



 

 

 

 

It's funny because in the last picture it looks like Muffin is trying to get to Sherbet just as much as he is trying to get to her!

 

I'll finish this post off with a demonic-looking pic of all three animals. :)

 



Sherbet- continued

In my previous post, I had mentioned that I had not captured a recent video of Sherbet. So I had decided on that very day- well, yesterday- that I would create one. In the video, he is curiously looking at my hairless Chinese Crested, Sookie while hiding behind a vacuum.

Often when Sookie approaches him and tries to play with him, he gets a bit nervous and hisses with his back arched up and tries to hit her with his paw, then hides. However, when she walks away he will attempt to bravely sneak up on her. It's weird, I know.

Sherbet

My brother and his girlfriend have a kitten they named Sherbet, who happens to live in our house along with our four other cats (Yes, our house often feels more like a zoo than anything). They got him around 3 months ago, and it's amazing to see how much he has grown since they first brought him home. In addition, he also has become much more of a troublemaker- and a biter. We are trying to teach him that biting is a no-no, but I don't think he has gotten the point yet. Oy vey...

He was 8 weeks old when they got him, and now he is about 4 1/2 months. I included a video below that I took a few days after he first arrived, and then another one about a month or so later. I haven't taken a recent video of him yet, but you can see in the second one how much of a little mischief-maker he had become in a mere 1 to 2 months!

FYI: In the second video, he is on top of my Guinea Pig, Muffin's cage.
