In the news - during the month of December, I had a (single) housefly - and Poof caught it!
In the garage, Bryan found a squirrell tail attached to about 4 inches of skin and a small skull - again we suspect Poof.
I was away for a week at Christmas (Bryan did the house sitting thing) and when I got home, both cats were waiting outside - and as I approached - they fled! They took a whole day to get use to me being around again! That Bryan sure knows how to spoil those cats.
I had a look at the photos I took a year ago - and I must say, Poof looks skinny in those. With his winter coat on, he looks bigger than Tache, but Poof still weighs less.
Poof is still not exploring the whole house. He's been sighted watering up in the washroom and Tache is taking advantage of this. See, Tache doesn't want to play as ofter as Poof does, so when he requires quiet time, Tache will hide in one of the many closets, or better yet, hide downstairs. I think sometimes Poof only come inside the house to play with Tache. And Tache is definitively repeating last winter's rhythms, of spending more time indoors and requiring more lap time. Poof, finds quiet outdoors (I know of at least two favourite spots) and doesn't much like coming on my lap - just like they say a Maine Coon cat is suppose to do. But he still loves (and purrs quite loudly when he) gets petted or brushed.
