Rascal

OUR LITTLE RASCAL








Rascal and the other felines in our family love playing with boxes.




It is very hard to write about Rascal and not include Itsuki. Also most pictures have both kittens in them. But I will try to give each on a seperate post.

Rascal can be discribed in one word: rascal. Yup she is a rascal. Oh and yes Rascal is a female. All our kitties are female just in case you didn't realize that.

OK, back to Rascal. Jesse says that Rascal is how Sakura was when she was little. For that reason Sakura really doesn't like Rascal. Oh she tolerates her but if Rascal starts playing with her or gets too close, PLUNK, plunk plunk. Sakura doesn't hesitate in showing Rascal that she is displeased with something.
Rascal is also very curious. She will be the one to climb up on to something to examine it. And if I or Jesse comes into the room, PLOP, she jumps down from where she is and runs away. Expecially if it is in the kitchen. She has learned that the counters, kitchen table, china cabinet, and desk in the bedroom are all off limits and are all also good places to stimulate her curiousity. BUT that doesn't stop her from getting on them. She will just run and hid for a few minutes and then come back and ask forgiveness for doing wrong.

She loves to get under the covers and sleep between my legs. Oh and she also LOVES to clean everyone. She has done my entire face about 2 or 3 times. And she also makes sure Jesse's arm hairs are in perfect formation.

Recently she has been cuddling with me a lot. That is very suprizing because she doesn't like to be cuddled or held like a little baby. But lately she has taken a real liking to stuff like that. Jesse says it is possibly because she is sorry for the "bad" things she does and comes to me for forgiveness.

We bought a play mouse for Sakura before we got the kittens, but now Rascal has claimed it and so Sakura will have no use to it. Rascal will flip it up into the air and then catch it. She will bat it around and chase it. And she carries it around EVERYWHERE in her mouth.

By the way, Rascal is my kitty. All the others are Jesse's except for Tomoyo who is no ones. Jesse told me to say that Rascal is up for adoption but NO CAN DO! He would have to put me up for adoption WITH her!!!!!

another kitty story! =) do all your cats sleep you? or just Rascal? Weby sleeps with us. Lately on my side of the bed...I think because I have my side warmer with the heating blanket. =D

Do any of your cats catch real mice? Weby used to. And several other cats we had when I was younger. When you mentioned Rascal throwing the toy mouse in the air reminded me of Butch. He would do that...but with real mice. He ran away when my mom wouldn't let the cats in the house anymore (she's allergic).

Rascal sleeps between my legs. Itsuki sleeps either at the foot of the bed or on top of one of us. Sakura will sleep by my side Jesse's side or not with us at all (I suppose it depends on if she is jealous of one of the kittens or if she feels she needs forgiveness). Tomoyo sleeps on the floor at the foot of the bed, by the door, or in the living room.

We don't have real mice. At least I don't think we do.

Sakura and Itsuki can sit or sleep side by side. That is because Itsuki has the same type of spirit as Tomoyo. Except we were able to get Itsuki to trust us so in the long run she won't be afraid of her own shadow. Tomoyo is scared of everyone and everything except Sakura.
