Some of you may be wondering how our cats, Montoya and Ticongeroga, are holding up now that we have Lloyd. The answer is… not great. They like Lloyd just fine (Montoya sniffs his head and they engage in staring contests), but they miss being the babies.
We try to give them lots of cuddle time, but they only want to cuddle when we are cuddling the baby. Montoya is begging for attention by climbing the TV and then jumping up to the top of the book shelf just inches from the ceiling. Then she will look down on us and meow.
Ticonderoga peed in Lloyd’s bouncey seat yesterday, which for inexplicable reasons is not washable. Greg had to take the whole seat into the tub and give it a bath. Now the electronic components that we had yet to try (vibrating seat and iPod speakers) will probably never work.
Tiki had a mat on the side of her head, and both of them should be getting their nails cut much more frequently than our current capabilities. We try to tell them that soon Lloyd will not need to be *babied* so much and we will be more attentive, and also that someday Lloyd will be obsessed with petting them, but they are skeptical.
