Photo Saturday: Cuddling by Leaps and Bounds

Lucas & Midnight cuddling Katherine on her Futon

Katherine finally got a photo of the Domestic Panthers together.

It should be noted that they spend a lot of time next to each other under the futon, but it's impossible to get a good photograph due to the low light under there.

We're delighted by several things:
  • They are truly a bonded pair:
    • They tend to sleep together under the futon.
    • When they are awake, there is no ongoing border war.
    • They do spar, but in the friendly manner of Cat Fu like their departed uncles the Brothers Catzilla.
  • They treat under the futon as their home base, but it's not like they hide under there. They sally forth without fear.
  • Individually, they are each following Whitey in their own way:
    • Midnight already routinely scales the 61" office cat tower, and has reached up to touch the top edge of the 7 foot (84") bookshelf. Once he works up his nerve to make the two foot vertical leap to the summit, he'll have earned his Spider-Cat Merit Badge. 
    • Lucas has discovered Katherine likes to bend her blanket covered knees on the futon to support her work, which makes a great tunnel for catnaps underneath.
