We have had a lovely time since i last updated. no more food fights, lot's of Maine summer fun. But the big story is the pet culture in our house. If you do not like to hear one tell their pet stories I recommend you stop reading now.

Tommy attacked Mica. Max and I are thinking that Tommy may be a bit on the stupid side.

Mica now needs extra attention.. Chris can often be found on the floor with Mica feeding her goodies. when she does venture into the house she cautiously walks around trying to avoid Tommy. If they are in the same room one of us need to be there in case a fight breaks out.

Henry has proven that he is the most mature of all beings under 5 feet in the house. The other day Mica and Tommy where having a face off in the dining room. Mica was hissing so (stupid) Tommy ran at her. Henry hit Tommy in the head and then stood between the two cats.

during another face off Henry started to play fight with Tommy. (he faux bites... never really shuts his jaw) Mica was jealous over this.. he usually does this with her. I think that it put Tommy in his place a bit. he ended up hiding under the radiator then scurrying from the room and peaking out to watch Henry behind the door frame.

yesterday there was another face off in the front hall. Chris, Max and I sat on the stairs in case we had to intervene. Henry joined us. I think he likes being the big bro.

Tommy is very curious.. we now have ot be careful when doing most basic household tasks... opening the fridge, he jumps in. going into he basement, he's been stuck down there a few times. getting eaten by the hungry dog, he likes to sit in Henry's food bowl.
