The new kitty bed has gotten a lot of attention. In fact, both kitties love it so much they both hog it. Take a look at how they both cram themselves into the bed. Though Sebastian gets annoyed easily and usually gives up and abandons the bed first. They do look adorable together in the cat bed all snuggled up.
Isn't it great to have someone there who you can give a hug. Or receive hugs from. Sebastian kitty is a momma's boy. He loves to still snuggly up to his mommy even though he is almost 2 years old. He is turning 2 next Month. Boy has he grown. To me, he is still my little kitten, playful as ever.
In the middle of the night, Sebastian likes to jump on the dining room table. He knows he is not allowed up there, but at night, when he thinks no one is watching, he jumps up there to relax. That is until we see him on the table and shoo him off.
This photo is not of our cats. But I thought I would post because it is so cute and because Sebastian and Yaffa love birds! My sister, early in the summer was on the way to work one day, and she saw these baby birds fell out of the nest and onto the grass. In fact, the entire nest fell out of the tree and onto the lawn below. She took a little scooper and scooped each bird up back into the nest and perched it high into the tree. You can't touch baby birds with human hands, because the mommy bird will smell the human scent and abandon the birds. After my sister helped the birds back up the tree, she closely monitored them for weeks. Then, one day, all the birds were grown up and flew away!
Our friend Ruth got a present from our friend Adriana. A cool cat bed for her little kitty Suki. Though, Suki never was into the bed at all, never sat in it, and was never too interested in sleeping anywhere else but the couch and the human bed. So Ruth gave us the cat bed to try out on Yaffa and Sebastian. Within the first hour of bringing the bed home, I caught both Yaffa and Sebastian literally fighting over the new cat bed. They really enjoy the soft plushy cushions, not to mention, it looks cute too!
We recently splurged on a new item for the kitties! And boy, we all couldn't be happier. The cats are so excited about their new "toy" also. Whenever the cats do their thing, they love to jump out of the Litter Maid, and watch the rakes go back and forth and clean up. The cats are completely mesmerized and fascinated by it. Even better, Yaffa has really liked using this new litter box and has stopped making accidents on the couch! I (heart) litter maid!!
The cats love to mimic each other when they sleep. Here they are in the exact same positions sleeping like twins. 
Sebastian has found a new place to hang out. This pile of magazines has been his new favorite pillow. I always see him leaning against it. It is the cutest thing ever. He's such a smart cat. 
Many apologies for not posting to the kitty blog lately. We were on vacation and out of the country, with no access to the internet. But now we are back, despite the cats being mad at us for not bringing them. They had a good time though, since we had our brother look after Sebastian and Yaffa. And they were having fun with showing him "around" the apartment. Check out the new game they like to play. Hide and go seek!
Sebastian kitty was sleeping curled up next to me one day as I was reading a magazine in bed. You can see me in this photo on the bottom, right are my glasses. I had to take a closeup of him napping. He looks so peaceful and sound asleep. Though, 2 seconds after I took this photo, he opened his eyes, and gave me a dirty look for waking him. Little kitty, I can't help but want to cuddle him when he's this cute!!
I absolutely adore these photos! The cats like to do this thing when they think no one is watching. They sit next to each other and look like they are telling each other secrets. I was on the computer one day, when I looked over to the bed, and I saw the cats sitting side by side. I grabbed the cellphone camera and quickly took these photos of Yaffa and Sebastian. Look how Sebastian kitty on the right is sitting so politely with his arms folded up in front of him. How completely regal! But on closeup on photo 2, check out Yaffa's grin and Sebastian's smirk! She looks like she just told Sebastian the best secret!!
Mommy Yaffa cat and Sebastian kitty cat can be so affectionate. Here they are giving each other kisses. I always catch them grooming each other, and giving each other a kiss on the head or cheek. They are such a lovable mom and kitty pair!
Yaffa and Sebastian Kitty have been perfecting the act of sleeping like a ball. They curl up their little bodies, and look like one round puff ball. I like how Sebastian sticks his little paw out. Whenever I see him in this position, I can not resist rubbing his little paw pads. Then he wakes up and scowls at me. Aww, cute kitty.
I caught Yaffa doing a big stretch one day. She takes her arm and reaches all the way out in front of her. Looks like a good cat stretch! Sometimes I see her doing that and then she throws in a nice yawn too.
It's a balmy 71F degrees here in Brooklyn today. Quite warm weather we have been having lately. We had the window open, and little Sebastian kitty has been taking in the cool breeze. Check out where he is sitting!
The cats have been awfully mad at me, because I've been a slacker with posting on the blog. I've tried to apologize, though the cats would not hear of it. They said, mom, I don't care if you work 50 hr weeks, and you have chores to do around the house. It's your JOB to post our daily cat activities. I meant to post something this past Easter weekend. Especially since I caught Yaffa sitting on the bed, hanging out with Bunny Bunny. Bunny Bunny is my oldest childhood toy. Bunny Bunny is 27 years old, and his fur is pretty ratty, but I love this stuffed animal because it's cuddly, and is full of memories. The cats seem to like him too.
Yaffa was sitting next to me one day on the couch, and I saw her, getting ready to take a nap. So I took this photo, because she looked so cute, with her head resting on her arms. With her eyes getting all drowsy, and minutes away from a cat nap. So cute!
The cats are really quite close to each other. Where ever one is, the other is not far behind. They love to hang out together whenever possible. I caught them one day on our bed, just hanging out. Don't they look like twins? Well, not twins exactly, since they don't have the same fur, but they're mannerisms are quite the same, and they act like copy cats, "twins". Sebastian likes to mimic mommy cat and vice versa.
So we've had a daily visitor lately by our Kitchen window. He comes by everyday, to "knock" on the window, to see if he can get inside. We keep a bird feeder on our fire escape, and our new friend goes there frequently. But he's also discovered our kitchen window, which wafts of food smells. Luckily for him and us, there is a screen to block him from coming in. Otherwise, the cats will have a field day with the new creature!
Sebastian likes to act like he's a big kid. He is afterall 1 1/2 now. He pretends like he doesn't like mommy cat doting on him, cleaning his fur, cuddling him. When we're watching he acts like he's sayin, "aw, mom, cut it out." BUT, when we aren't watching, I see him giving mommy Yaffa cat hugs, and cuddling while sleeping. I did catch him one day with the camera when he wasn't looking, here he is giving momma Yaffa a big hug as they take an afternoon nap.
This past weekend, Yaffa was sitting on the couch with me enjoying the afternoon sun. She loves the afternoon sun rays. She just soaks it up. Her spot on top of the couch is perfect for the setting sun. Look how nice this photo came out, so heavenly and artistic.
I caught the cats again sleeping in the same position. They are such a splitting image of each other. Copycats, copycats, I see a copycat!
I love it when the cats copy each other. This photo is particularly cute because they are sleeping in the same exact position. They truly are copy cats! 
I saw Sebastian Kitty the other day taking a nap late in the afternoon. His new favorite spot has been sitting on top of the living room radiator. The radiator doesn't get that hot, so he likes to sit on top to stay snuggly warm on these cold winter nights. Look how adorable he is, it makes you want to go and give him a hug. I don't dare wake him though, or else he'd be angry. But, He's so darn cute! 
Sebastian and Kyle are best friends. I think it's because Sebastian thinks that Kyle is his brother cat, ever since Sebastian was born, he's been stuck to Kyle. Where ever Kyle is, Sebastian is not far behind. Here they are watching some TV in bed. They are watching their favorite show, Futurama. I think Sebastian Kitty likes this show because our crayfish was named after one of the characters, Dr. Zoidberg, and so he gets a kick of seeing an animated version.
I took this picture of Sebastian the other day. He has this look on his face like he's saying, "This is my bed, you got a problem with that?" I just smile and I pick him up and cuddle him, and he quickly runs away, because like any boy, he doesn't want to admit that he likes to cuddle.
I love it when Sebastian cleans his fur and he does these amazing leg stretches. It's amazing how he can get his long legs to reach so high! You can't tell from this angle, but he has his leg high above his head. It always makes me think that he is doing Cat Yoga.
We have blinds on every window of our apartment to have "privacy" from our close by neighbors. We do, afterall live in Brooklyn, where I can put my hand out the window and practically touch my neighbor's window. Both of our cats love looking outside the window, to peer down at the people on the street and to see what's going on. Blinds don't stop them. Silly humans, they say!
