November Pets At Home

November has been cold and blustery, just right for staying indoors with the house pets. They make a house feel like home, as this picture reminds me. Daphne and Bugsy were watching me while I was at the computer. I turned around and saw them, which brought a smile to my face:

Ruby and Meghan, the resident guinea pigs, don't interact with me much but I stop and pet them every morning when I clean their cage:

Bugsy likes to cuddle with the dogs. In this case, he was happy to be Clover's pillow:

Sammy loves this bed and can often be found there. It's one place where he trusts me to pet him, though I'm still going slowly on his socialization lest I spook him:

Jack loves to back into the corner by my computer chair. He can watch me from there without getting run over by my chair-on-wheels, but he does leave a dirty smudge on baseboard:

Sammy and Seamus napped together on a yoga mat, and Jack was considering joining them:

I couldn't find Caspar one day and began to panic. I finally found him on a chair cushion beneath the kitchen table. He was sound asleep and oblivious to my calls. Playing with Sammy can exhaust a kitten:

Clover has begun sleeping on top of Seamus like she used to do some years ago. It seems to be an arrangement which makes them both happy:
