Bored cats are bored

[klwilliams]

I saw Barry try to sneak into the one corner of Chaz's office that has a cord (the tail end of a cable television line), with that guilty look of a cat who is going to chew on a cord, so I pushed the cord into the closet and closed the door, in the hope that will keep him away from it for at least a little while. I'm fairly sure that the boys are bored, and still somewhat stressed at the newness of everything. I'm still sick, so I haven't done all of the "cat away" spraying on things like the power cords around the house, or done anything about a lot of the stacks of things that they'll knock over. I did put the bread on the top shelf of the pantry, which is (a little) something.

So I decided that tonight I should let the boys look around for a few minutes, just to give them an idea of the place. They were very quiet and kind of shy about things, especially Baz. Mac found G'Kwan, who was all closed up in his shell. Mac sniffed at him, nothing happened, so Mac hopped away. I think Dymphna is under my backpack in the corner of our bedroom.

When Baz found the pile of power cords under my computer I cut things short and put the boys back into the back. Tomorrow I'll do some spraying of cords then let them out for a real look around. I expect to hear the sound of things crashing onto the floor a lot tomorrow.
