kitty corner

just over a year ago, we added this furry little guy to our family:

oliver no longer hides from us but bolts anytime there's a knock on the door. not many people have seen him in person. 

he's finally stopped scratching on our door at night and his meows have gotten quieter.

he delights in trapping lucy in the bathroom. she won't come out if he's nearby so he prowls back and forth in front of the door, occasionally raising a threatening paw.  

he likes having hazel scratch his ears and she takes that job seriously. hazel has begun picking him up and trying to cuddle him. he tolerates that for about half a second. 

we've banished him from the kitchen. he was getting too comfortable in there:

this picture also shows off his awesome lion's mane

he still thinks he owns our room.

he's not big on cat toys, probably because he never gets a chance to play with them:

he's a not-so-little sweetheart and i love him. still.

in other news, remember lucy's batmangirl costume?:

how could you forget it, amiright? well it won our apartment complex costume contest and she recieved a backpack:

we're all proud as peacocks.
