Girls like sparkly things

I think this is just so dang cute.  Sissy loves her toys.  One of her favorite favorite things is a her sparkle balls.  They are actually pom poms with strands of glitter stuff in them.  She is very partial to red.  She likes the red balls, red blanket, red pillow.  You get the picture.  She carried this damn thing around with her everywhere. She even brings it to bed.  And about 100 times a day, she bats it under the chair for me to get it out for her.  She loved these balls at the old house but she really loves them here because we have hardwood floors in the common areas and red balls slide easily on the floor.

Both Baby and Sissy have had a tough time adjusting to the new house.  We have been here just over 2 weeks and they still give desperate lost cries periodically through the day and night.  They stay ever so close to me all the time.  Baby seems to think she needs to go out in the condo hall.  I think she thinks she is locked in a portion of the house and is just waiting to be freed to the other areas.  They like their condo still but clearly miss the  morning sunshine streaming in.  I miss it too.  The bugger about a house that faces south/west.  They do like the evening sunshine though.  Interesting enough, the building is designed just so I don't get lots of baking heat through the windows.  That is kind of nice!

I'm still adjusting myself.  The traffic noise is still an issue.  I am slowly working on fixing the broken things in the house.  Yesterday, I took Gorilla Glue to the microwave.  It seems to have done the trick which is nice.  Not sure how long it will hold but it is working for now while I figure out the microwave dilemma.  Next project is to tackle the doors.  They are all so heavy.

One really funny cat thing is they are really picky about their dry kibbles.  They like a certain shape and refuse to use anything else.  While I was getting ready to move, they needed more food.  Much to my surprise, the store wasn't carrying the kind they like anymore.  The only kind they had that with the right shape was weight loss formula.  What the heck?  So I bought it.  Sissy is like a new cat again. She has lost quite a bit of weight.  She has always been a hefty girl.  She is so much more playful now.  Baby on the other hand has always been a little on the thin side.  She practically looks emancipated now.  Her tummy is concave and she doesn't seem as active as she used too.  I think she went too far to the other side.  I got some new cat food.  I think I will start mixing them together until the weight loss formula is gone.  Poor kitties.
