You don't have a kitty aquarium?

Sorry for the long blogging hiatus. I hope to make up for my absence with some fun photos from the last month.

We moved! Here's a photo of Fritz, Johnny and Katie all "packed up" for the move and a little curious as to what in the world was going on...



Highlights from the move:



The moving truck's battery died. Unsuccessful attempts were made to jump it with our car. A quick trip to Autozone by Brian and the head mover resulted in a little more time for me to do some last-minute packing and a new battery for the truck.

Once at the new place, we are told that the ceilings of the stairway are too low to accomodate our less-than-a-year-old couch. It ended up having to be hoisted up 1/2 a story to a window in the enclosed back staircase, carried up a flight of stairs, then brought in through a window in our hallway. The movers did not even charge extra due to the earlier delay. Here it is:



The cats have enjoyed exploring and finding new favorite spots in the new place. It doesn't have the extreme close-up bird and squirrel-watching we enjoyed at our old place, so we'll have to work on attracting some wildlife out front. Our neighbors are going to love us! ;)

After we moved in, we quickly realized that the place has one very unique attribute. Our second bedroom does not have a window to the outside. So, they installed a window above the kitchen cabinets to let a little light through. Bonus: It also functions as a cat aquarium for those inside the second bedroom, as the cats can jump on top of the cabinets from the refrigerator!

The cat aquarium featuring Kiki (we haven't done much with the room yet, it's the last frontier):

It's pretty fun! All three have spent time on display.

And now for some random photos:

Here's King Johnny, in one of his favorite positions:

And handsome Mr. Fritz, who has recently discovered the joys of drinking water from the sink.



Hope you enjoyed!
