I’m really starting to wonder if those are appropriate nicknames for my two cats, Bella and Jynx!! I really can’t remember how the names sprung to mind, other than “Smell” Rhymed with Bell and we usually call Bella, Bell-Bell (if not Smell Bell). Then there’s Jynx, who is most often referred to as “Jynxy” (the resident grump of the household). Stinky rhymes with Jynxy, so maybe that’s just how it happened. Hrm..

I wish you could see the two of them right now. We’ve just bought new bedding, which is now on the new bed and they wasted absolutely no time claiming the bed. Bella is sprawled out across the bed, while Jynx is sprawled out mostly on Jo’s side of the bed! Normally they’d be clawing one another’s eyes out by now but not tonight! They’re too content!

Speaking of cats though. I’ve mentioned in the past that Bella is a strange one. Well, I’m starting to think she has a sweet tooth! I had a small box of TimBits (from Tim Horton’s) sitting on my desk. There were two left in the box but the box was closed. She likes to hop up on my desk, which I think is because she wants to send naughty messages to my IM friends (haha, just kidding). Anyway. She hopped up on my desk and somehow managed to get her chubby paws down into the box, and also managed to pull one of the TimBits out of the box! She looked at me, after doing this, like “Oh, did you see that mommy?? That TimBit hopped right out of the box and onto my claw!!”. Like she’s really surprised the TimBit is stuck to her claw or something! She waves it in front of her like it’s a press-on-nail that she’s very proud of! Hahaha! Of course I would never let my cats eat a donut, even a small one like a TimBit. I took the TimBit away and put it into the trashcan and she looked at me, as if to say “Shewww.. my mommy is a lifesaver!!! *insert Bella staring at her claw as if she misses that delicious TimBit that she ALMOST got to eat*”!!! Not 10 seconds after putting the TimBit into the trash, did she reach her chubby paw back into the TimBit box (yes, I know I should have thrown the whole thing out.. but someone might have wanted that last TimBit lol) and did the same thing again!!! TimBit = attached to Bella’s claw! At this point, I’m having a hard time being upset that she’s done this because number one, it’s cute as heck and number two, it’s hilarious! So again, I take away her beloved TimBit, that she’s worked so hard for again and threw it away! This time, I threw away the box too, it’s not like anything was left in it this time! When I returned back to my desk, I caught Bella licking her paw.. and she just kept licking and licking.. and licking! The sound of each lick began to annoy me, haha! I’m really surprised there’s any fur left on her right paw. Even after I cleaned them off, she kept licking it!

I guess “mommy” didn’t really stop her from enjoying her “treat”!
