Partners in Crime/TAG TEAM

In yesterday's blip I was showing you that the cats have been getting closer all the time. Today they didn't even try to hide their mutual affection for each other. I always wonder who initiated this snuggling thing they do. Today I see it seems to be Libby.

Did you know cats can teach each other their bad behavior tricks? I didn't know that until this morning. Buddy Boy is leading Libby down a very bad path. I have mentioned before that Libby is just such a good cat and never does anything wrong. Well not until today. Buddy has always liked to wake me around 6 a.m. every morning. He starts by jumping on and off of my bed. Then I started using a squirt gun to discourage this behavior so he's been do a little better. That being said though he then starts that very loud meowing every 15 seconds. When I can't stand it any more, since I am now fully awake, I get up and feed them/ him. About a week ago I started feeding Buddy again right before I go to bed at night. ( he eats like it will be his last meal) That worked for about one day. Now he and Libby want their mid-night snack every night.

So what has my sweet little Libby learned from Buddy? This morning I heard no meowing from Buddy Boy. Then I felt a cat jump up on my bed. Climbed on top of me and started kneading me on my back. I didn't move. I just laid there very still. Okay now this cat has gone to sleep on my back. Next think I realize I think this is actually Libby. Buddy doesn't do that kneading thing. It's pretty dark still but I think that is Libby on me. Sure enough it was. Libby what on earth do you think you're doing I ask. Next thing I know Buddy is now up on the bed helping Libby to get me out of bed and feed this "Tag Team" some breakfast. Somehow I think they are winning.
