Grandma Mindy is still scared of Squirt, not Guss though.

I has it...

I called dibs

yummy power cords

After numerous tears in the baby video monitor's power cord, Guss has succeeded in making it unusable, despite Davinder's repeated repair attempts. It could be that the cable is now too short; it's been patched at least 6 times! $10 for a replacement.

The Hisser and The Pisser

We weren't very happy with Guss' attempts at dominance through peeing, but he now focuses on chasing and swiping at Squirtcup. Squirt seems shocked by the fact that she no longer is the dominant fuzz. She seems to cuddle more with Lucinda and Davinder. Of course, she hasn't given up unprovoked biting. That's her trademark. Yet somehow Guss' size advantage enables him to win the kitty battles. Although he's rather limp when you pick him up, he doesn't come when you call his name, or initiate a lot of cuddling. He seems to like to sleep next to people though. His personality is still unfolding.

Lucinda misses the elegance and grace of Nietzsche: the way she moved and jumped like a gifted athlete. Scout's sweet chirping are also sourly missed.

Reversal of Rolls

How could this have happened? Now Guss is chasing Squirt around, stalking her and jumping on her. She's getting a taste of her own medicine and isn't too happy about it. Hopefully there's some play going on as well between them, but there is definitely no cuddling. So much for a fuzzy romance.

Mac 'n Cheese

Able to withstand Squirt's random unprovoked attacks, Guss spends a lot of time with Austen and Mama. He even lets Austen hold him. Today he shared a bowl of mac 'n cheese with Austen, even though she told him, "No! That's Austen's mac 'n cheese." (She speaks rather well for a barely two year old.) Unfortunately, the pair dropped the bowl on the floor and shattered the special Sesame Place bowl. However, the didn't seem to mind as much as Mama.

Squirt's Life is about to Change.

No more sleeping on the couch all day. Squirt has discovered that stalking Guss is an interesting pursuit. She's even decided to approach him in peace from time to time. And it's all happened so quickly. Lucinda sees much cat fighting and chasing in their future. Things are really looking up for Squirt's social life.
