Bad Cat Friday!!!
There are a few places that are off limits for the kitties - the kitchen counter, the stove, and the fridge, just to name a few. But for some reason, they still push their limits, and mine! Bad kitties!!!!

This is the life...
Reggie: I love my toys so much! Sometimes I get very excited and play with them a really long time, until I tucker out and then decide it's time to wash myself. Such is the life of a sphynx! Then, after I am done playing I take a nap with my older brother.
I also got a bath yesterday. Not so much fun, but at least it's over with! This morning I actually got under the covers with my mom at 5:30am and slept with her until her alarm clock went off. My mom was happy that I didn't meow in her face and walk all over her like I usually do!
Here you can see my kitty pooch! All cats have them, they are just more noticeable on us cats without hair. You can also see my birthmarks on my right shoulder there - they weren't always there, but they are now!
Sorry, but I had to clean myself!
Nap time with Marley.

Reggie Asthma Update...
Reggie has only coughed once the past three days! (At least when I've been around). Usually I would hear him cough several times a day. Could the medication be working? I sure hope so! A $17 medication sure beats a $420 chest X-Ray! (Not being cheap as I would do anything for my kitties, but you know where I'm coming from....)

Our Kitty Areas
Well, Marley has been battling another eye infection (chronic for him I think), but it is finally clearing up with the Terramycin.
I know I posted about kitty asthma a few posts back, and we suspected that Reggie might have it. He would crouch down low to the ground several times a day and cough like he was trying to hack up a hairball. This would last about 10-20 seconds and then he'd stop and act like nothing was wrong. I had taken a video and showed my vet and she said it did look like an asthma attack, but she wasn't too concerned just yet...she said she hadn't seen any mucus when Reggie was under anesthesia getting neutered so she said we would monitor if it got worse or not. In the meantime, I emailed Reggie's breeder and she wrote back saying that it sounded like he has a secondary respiratory infection and suggested we try a certain medication some of her cats had been on before.
I then forwarded this information on to my vet (yes, she gave me her email address!). She said we could try the medication the breeder suggested...and...we are on day 3 and I have not heard any coughing attacks from Reggie!!! Here's to hoping the medication is working! And...amazingly enough, Reggie is sooo easy to give a pill too!
So since I haven't taken many recent pictures of them, here are some pictures of their "kitty areas"
A wall hanging my aunt gave me....and oh so true!
The litter box corner! You might be wondering why there are two and one is uncovered. Well, Reggie refused to use the covered one when we first brought him home, but now, for some reason, both are using the covered one again. My hope is to phase out the other one...but then again, with the sphynx metabolism, two litter boxes are sort of necessary.
Toys, toys, and more toys!
Kitty "townhouse" and scratching mats.

Wordless Wednesday...sort of
Meet Bailey - Marley's dad. The breeder had to put a diaper on him because he was constantly spraying his "manhood" around her house.

Marley and Reggie Overload!
Well, since I haven't posted much lately, here are some funny poses of Marley & Reggie sleeping at various times this weekend (no, I did not pose them!) as well as a video of them grooming - ENJOY! (in the background of the video you hear Cesar Milan, the Dog Whisperer!)
