Lightning Bug

Last night the kittens discovered a lightning bug in the room. I had so much fun watching them as they kept trying to find it after it would fly away. Lightning bugs have a smell to them so the kittens wouldn't bite it but they did try to catch it several times but as soon as they got their nose close they would sneeze!!

The 2 pics with Smokey looking down off the bed was when the poor bug was knocked to the floor and disappeared......Smokey found it once because of the light it put off but then it was gone. My favorite is of Might Mo looking down on top of the lamp as he had seen the bug up in the light several times during the evening.

This all happened after midnight so you know the babies were very wild for the next hour or so. They finally did settle around 2AM or so and we finally got to sleep. But they were back at the crazies around 6AM and I just nestled down in the blankets and let them do their race track routine all over the bed till one of them came and began to purr and tried to snuggle. Wasn't long till the other one was up to snuggle too ......then I slept till almost 10AM, then got up and got busy.

I love these guys and they have been a life saviour for me. There certainly is a lot going on with them around.
