Today was a good day for cleaning the carpet downstairs so I did it. I moved all the furniture off into other areas – the tiled and wood floor part and vacuumed and ran the carpet cleaner over the whole region.
Gus and Julie tend to make themselves scarce during these times, while Calla is braver when the machines are running. Julius comes running back as soon as there is any break in the process, while Gus takes a lot longer to come back.
As the carpet dried after the cleaning, Julius showed his approval of the big space by rolling over it. He also likes the new adventure land of all the furniture jammed together in fun new patterns.
Calla likes the jumble of furniture fine, but finds the big open space unsettling. Best to stay along the edges, and on the drier spots.
She moved all along the walls exploring…..
Until a rude fellow trapped her on one of the edges. It isn’t fair that he can go all over the floor instead of having to stay on the sides.
Julie was nice and let her move on to the final wall where she rested.

How exciting! The furniture moved! The delightfully strange, chemically smells from the damp carpet! It’s too much!

They are beautiful. But remember, Dogs have owners and cats have staff! 🙂 Perhaps you would like to check out a cat that I am rather fond of? http://poetryphotosandmusingsohmy.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/le-chat/

Julie is a goofball! I dont know that I’ve seen that side of him before!
I find it so funny that Calla doesnt mind the machines running, seems like she’d be the one who wouldnt come out for a long time.
Very gallant of Julie to make way for Calla to get un trapped.

No, while she is a bit skittish with people she is much braver than Gus and even Julie, who tends to follow Gus’ lead in such things.

mew! Calpurnia does look quite cautious, but you can’t get much more relaxed than Julius. Does he like tummy rubbings?

Yes, but you have to be careful he’s not in crazy mode because he might give you a chomp in return

Ooof. Mani gets like that too sometimes, but he hasn’t done it in ages. He’ll be all happy and stuff and then he’ll chomp and pedal at the same time.
