Watching Paint Dry

Frère, “You seem to be doing a better job than

yesterday.”

Frère, “It’s not so messy today!” 

Frère, “I think I might like what you’re doing

to my bedroom.”

Frère, “But the color seems to be a bit bright!”

The Frenchman, “Well, this is our room for one! But

we’re putting a second color over top

after this one.”

Frère, “Oh, well that might look better.” 

*Note: The entire time we worked Caline stayed in this one place.

The Frenchman’s wife, “Don’t you want to come out

from under the bed and watch us paint

like your brother?”

Caline, “I’m happy where I am!”

*Note: Tomorrow we will have the room back to normal!

The Mess

Frère, “Why are you making the wall wet?”

Frère, “And why are you scraping off all of these

little pieces of paper? I could do better with my

claws if you would let me!”

Frère, “And then you're just putting them on

the floor in this big pile, why?”

The Frenchman, “I’m cleaning the walls so we

can paint them.”

Frère, “But your making the floor

very dirty and wet!”

*Note: We are working to remove the wall paper but to Caline and Frère we have simply lost our minds yet again. To see the room coming together see tomorrows post.

Big Paper

Caline, “There’s a lot of paper on the floor!" 

Caline, “Oh, I know just what to do with it!”

 Caline, “Tunnel!!!”

Frère, “Me too!!! Do you see me?”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Yes.”

 Frère, “How about now?”

The Frenchman’s wife, “I see you even more now.

But that’s ok I’ll pretend I don’t see you!”

*Note: To Find out why there are large sheets of paper on the floor see tomorrow's post.

Operation Sneak Out

Caline, “And now no one will find me

and I will finally be able to go on

another adventure!”

*Note: Caline is in the top cuby.

Frère, “What are you doing up there?”

Caline, “I want to go out and see the

world and take the train again! So I’m

going to stow away in her bag!”

Frère, “It will never work.”

Caline, “Just you wait and see!”

*Note: Caline is always trying to escape. Any time the door is opened she, if not held, tres to leave. At times she stands by the front door and meows to be let out. Though she is never let out. This all started after we brought her back from a trip. To see that post click here.

Le Bain #8

The Frenchman, “Why is it that you two do that
after every bath? We already cleaned you.”

Frère, “No you didn’t, you just made us all wet!”

The Frenchman, “But I used cat shampoo, surely that
does a better job of cleaning than your tongues?”

Frère, “Did our ears hear you correctly!?”
Caline, “You're crazy if you think that anything can
clean better than our tongues!”

The Frenchman, “Ok, but surely you can reach
everywhere with your tongues.”

Celine, “Oh really! Well, just you watch!”

Caline, “Et voila!”
(Translation: And there it is!)
The Frenchman, “It would seam I am wrong for now.”



*Note: Though Caline and Frère don’t like to have baths they get them twice a month or more if they’re dirty. To see more pictures of Caline and Frère after they’re baths click here.

Le Bonheur est sur le Balcon

Frère, “Roll for joy!”

Frère, “And roll for joy!”

Frère, “And roll for joy some more!”

Frère, “I love you balcony… muah!!!”
Caline, “I’m embarrassed to be around you!”



*Note: Every time we let Frère out onto the balcony he does this.

Cake!!!

Caline, “The coast is clear!”

Caline, “It smells so good! And this time she
made a chocolate chip cake!”

Caline, “The only problem is how to get through
this invisible force field!?”

Caline, “Maybe over here? … No!”

Caline, “Or this side? … No!”

Caline, “This is clearly an indestructible barrier!”



*Note: Every time I make a cake Caline checks it like this to see if she can steal a bite. We often call her the “Food Thief”, to see another post of her attempting to steal food click here.
