The awesome front-loading washer had the kitties’ full attention going round and round and round, and it was cute to watch them check out the roomba….you can see Pepper hunting it in the photo below and then Chilli doing a great job supervising the cleaning!

I am personally in awe of house technology – who knew floor cleaning could get so high tech?? The roomba is amazing – it knows not to fall down stairs or get entangled in wires or to get out of tight corners, wow! I mean, seriously? That is genius engineering work right there, totally useful and highly value-add. When I grow up, I want to invent something useful like that too!

I am feeling blessed with my husband and kitties – though we very nearly lost Chilli yesterday He was out for a good 4 hours past his curfew (sunset) – not funny, young man!!! You should have seen me around the neighborhood screaming like a crazy cat lady….chhhiiiillllliiiiiiii……chiiiilllliiiii…..! Sigh….not a pretty sight at all…

Pictures below are taken this weekend of them being cute kitties snuggling and napping together like good brother and sister and scenery of our lunch drive around. Beautiful day for having a picnic-on-the-go so we had sandwiches while driving around town. Music playing, windows down, cool breeze, great company, blessed life! We chanced upon a nice quaint little road that led straight to the ocean waters, and then saw 4 deers (including 2 small fawns still with white spots!) grazing up on a little hill during our drive back.

Ah! Beautiful world we have around us!!

Chilli and Pepper have taken to attacking the sheepskin rug at home and yanking out chunks of wool. Didn’t have any interesting pics of that except a rug with bald patches….so here’s a picture of the kitties last weekend instead. It was too hot in the ferry line, so we took ’em out for a walk on leash instead and the smarties decided to cool off amongst the grass

Notice that Chilli is really well camouflaged in the background? I am always amazed by how their coat blends in the wild!

Check out the video: Chilli Playing Fetch

One more video of the kitties in action….we’re out of ideas where to hide stuff like toilet paper (before they get shredded to pieces) if they keep figuring out how to open cabinets, drawers and doors just because they saw us doing it.

See for yourself (and no, we did NOT train him to do this!) – Chilli cabinet

Tesla Wars kicks butt! Super therapeutic, just keep jabbing at the screen to kill stick figures, bombs, machine guns, chainsaw-bearing stick figures with lightning strikes…explosion galore…ahhhh…
