Yuriy sent me this message earlier today:
"When you will come home be careful. Don't sit down on the bed without checking under
the blanket. Stalone sleeps there last 2 hours, under the
blanket. I can see his left rear leg near your pillow. Ok, I am leaving now..."
The following picture was sent to me few hours later:
He is still there.. Just changed his position.
I am taking 5 mins off my crazy meeting marathon today to share few pics of Stalone sent to me from home to illustrate a typical Friday in cat's household...
It doesn't make you jealous even a bit... Right?
Initially we got two mainecoons because we thought one would get sad and lonely while we are away from home.
Funny enough, Shiva and Stalone, being sister and brother, didn't bother to keep each other's company too much: they like to play different toys, prefer different foods, have different preferences how to spend their leasure time.
Until yesterday. I was on my way to bed when my eye caught a "two cats in one cat bed" picture. I think, they figured out that it is more cozy that way while I was on my caribbean cruise. Just took them almost 2 years to do that... Yay!
I needed a vacation and I got one, Shiva tried to go with me, but it didn't work out - she doesn't own a swimming suit...
Since it was my first Caribbean cruise I had few things to learn:
We visited to Half Moon Cay (The Bahamas), San Juan (Puerto Rico), St. Thomas (USVI).
I don't have many photos, these I do have will keep my memory fresh and warm.
Taking off in Maiami:

Early morning back in Maiami:
I was packing today for my vacation trip. And I was very proud of myself for fitting in a dress I didn't wear for a while. It lasted about 10 minutes, up until I notices that cats used the dress as scratching post, huh... Now I can throw it away. Well, maybe it is a time to buy a new dress after all...
On a bright side, Shiva has all chances to join me on my cruise. She already made herself comfortable in the suitcase and if I am sleepy enough tomorrow morning she may end up joining me:
It is cold outside all of the sudden, and Stalone clearly doesn't approve that. Even though he gets to say at home and can sleep in cozy bed all day long...
We got few pics of mainly Stalone fooling around on the second floor. They are slightly not in the focus, but I still think they are funny :)
When looking at these, I calm myself by saying that bottom part of any of these cats will not fit through railing...
I took this photo almost a year ago, but it somehow failed to make it to the blog. So this is me fixing this issue.
I was in business trip for a bit more than 2 weeks. And whole time I was away Yuriy was sending me photos of them trying to adjust to the fact I was away.
I think they did pretty well...
And few pics we got after I came back :)
Few friday photos of sleeping Stalone, just because it is almost caturday. The work load is pretty well distributed: we work, he sleeps...
Extended version of previous video, it includes scenes of both cat cooperation in stealing cherries from the bowl...
Stalone's working week comes to an end, there is a 3-day weekend in front of him. I can't wait:
Happy Friday everyone!
I have few videos on this topic, but I wanted to share something fast, so prepared this short one first. Enjoy :)
Yuriy caught cats sleeping, at night, unheard off... And he had to make few pics. Here they are.
Stalone: "This sofa is way too small for a grown up cat..."
I feel really jealous receiving photos like this while I am at work. At least I can try to make you jealous too:
