Nocturnal Animals

I got the two cats, they are brothers. Theodore and Simon are 6 months old and look identical, I think I will be the only one to tell them apart, at least for a while. Originally I thought Simon was the adventurous one and Theodore was the snuggler, as time goes by I find that Theodore is the snuggler and the adventurous one and Simon just likes to be by himself. I brought them home Saturday morning and locked them in the bathroom where there litter box is and have food and water in there for them. It was nice that I could come visit them when I wanted and they always greeted me with purring. Sunday morning they escaped and I lost them. I spent the whole day looking for them, until the football game, then the world series. I couldn't find them! Around 10pm I walked into the kid's room and when I got close to the bed I heard purring from under the bed, behind the box in the corner. I found out where they were hiding and also found out they couldn't hide when they were awake because Theodore purrs when I get near. Just automatically like one of those cars that start honking when you get too close. It was funny, I was testing out my theory ... I would let them run away ... then walking around the house I found that the purring got louder and more steady when I got closer, like the game we played when we were kids saying people were "warmer" or "colder" depending how close they got to an object we hid. So, when I went to bed I realized what "nocturnal" means, it means they are very active at night. If I didn't give them attention, because I was trying to sleep, I had one or the other or both, cats rubbing against me or sitting on my face. OK ENOUGH!! Now I have cat hair EVERYWHERE, even on the keyboard as I type here. Now I understand why the rollers to remove hair from your clothes was on the necessary list of owning a cat, along with litter box (another long posting) and food and water dishes. Life is a learning process! Nocturnal also means when I wake up in the middle of the night one of the cats will be lying there just looking at me, seemed to be a lookout as the other brother was getting into mischief. When I woke up this morning everything was back to normal, the cats hidden away and the food gone and had to clean out the litter box, I guess I know my daily morning duties from now on!

I also now need to date only women that don't mind cats!
