Pals

Is it selfish and horrible and weird to envy the bond your daughter has developed with the new cat?    Tyler and I have been sulking around, pouting a bit;  Chowder is WAY more excited about Violet than he is about us.  He has to stand there and literally watch her bedroom door close at night, proof that she's gone to bed, before he turns his attention to us, and even then he usually isn't too horribly interested in us; he's mostly just blue that his partner in crime has gone away for the night.

Well, they are sweet together.  

Also, I have had a horrible cold these past few days, so it has been nice to be able to send them both down the hallway with a string or ball, while I sit on the couch and drink tea and cough.  Photos:
