Shiva's Toy Mouse Obsession

Here are some shots of Shiva and Pema with the newest toy mouse addition to our house. Shiva is especially obsessed with it and watches to see if any of us will "hunt" after him when he has the mouse. He growls when it's in his mouth and Pema or Tanzi gets close to him. It's so cute hearing a little sweet kitten growl really loudly like a dog!

Shiva sitting strangely and new toys

Shiva loves to sit on top of my chair in the kitchen, especially if I am sitting there and eating something.

Craig picked up two new toys for the boys on Wednesday night: a fake mouse for Shiva, the hunter, and a crinkly foil ball for Pema, who could chase one of those for hours.

Upon showing Shiva the fake mouse, he went totally crazy and started growling immediately.

Shiva continues to be the shy (especially with strangers), but lovable kitty. He's so snuggly with me every day and that is what I really hoped for from one of the two boys when we adopted them.

If I venture outside to take pictures for the blog, he usually watches what I am doing. This time, he was trying to catch a bug inside. 

My mom sewed up his favorite mouse and he was so excited to be reconnected with it last weekend. What a goof.

Bam! He was trying to touch the camera lens!

Shiva (the shy, cuddly kitten)

Shiva is definitely my little cuddle buddy. I find he tends to want to sit at the end of my lap, whereas Pema loves to sit as close as possible to my face or on it, like he did today. 

I will really miss cuddling with my buddies, once I have to go back to work on Wednesday, after 11 total days off!

Kitten paws are the cutest.
