When I first got a pot I was foolish enough to think that keeping the tub, with the lid on, in a bread bin, on a 6 foot high shelf would be enough to keep them safe....

You really should know better! All treats here are kept in a drawer which Mosi hasn't learnt how to open (yet). Whiskas temptations go down well here too. It was a tub of them that brought Jaffa out of hiding when Dawn and Phil visited

Oh No - Riley found them, dragged them out of the kitchen, chewed the plastic lid of and was busily tucking into the entire pot when I found him

They eat all their meals side by side in harmony and share any other treats from the same plate with no problems but give them Whiskas temptations and we've had hissing and head batting

My two have had their first taste of Whiskas temptations this Christmas as I got them a stocking between them and they absolutely adore them! They will push each other out of the way to get to them and every time I go into the kitchen Dylan in particular meows pathetically at me whilst staring up at the bench where they are

A big hit all round with my two.

I wish our peek-a-prize would get used

Interest had started to wain in the peek a prize, could be due to the fact that I've been too lazy to hunt the balls out so have put other random toys in there. Anyway, I can highly recommend a sprinkling of their favourite treats in there to rekindle interest (although maybe not chunks of Coley) I've just sprinkled a generous helping of Whiskas temptations in there and they have once again decided it's a cool toy

Riley just biffed LuLu round the head for daring to try and get some treats - they really are head over heels in love with each other except when it comes to Whiskas temptations

Those boys are so photogenic, do they freeze/get glued so you dont get blurry pics? Whats your secret?

No glue involved

This set of pics was actually taken with my sisters camera which is a pretty fancy one but all the other pics I've ever posted are done with either my phone or a basic point and shoot digital camera. The secret is that they really are the most gorgeous, willing subjects and veeeery vain, as soon as they see the lens of a camera Lukey's exposing his tummy whilst Riley quickly moves into super cute poses

Max was not to impressed with his whiskas bed either, keep moving it about to see if he will take an interest in it

Me too - I've tried it in the corner, on the top of their tower and now on the settee. When it was hiding in the bathroom waiting to be wrapped they were all over it

Scrummy photos as usual Helen, Max was not to impressed with his whiskas bed either, keep moving it about to see if he will take an interest in it

Great to see the boys enjoying their first christmas

I think Helen puts super glue on their paws so that they can't move.

What awesome pics ... I love the one of Riley snoring ... how can you say that's not a good pic - he looks gorgeous

They certainly look like they had a good Christmas day and the pressies seem to have gone down very well.

Riley's little nose and chin just make me want to snuzzle him up! Specially when he was asleep!

Great to see them having a blast on their first Christmas... looks like Riley really went over the top, looking quite tipsy in one pic and then conked out like that...

Pity you guys live so far away, Oliver would have loved to play with the boys now and then!!

Wonderful pictures as always, Helen, thanks for sharing!!

Just fab Helen, looks like Lucas and Riley's first christmas went down a storm

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #4 on:** December 26, 2007, 14:35:32 PM »

Ah, bless them!

It looks like they had a great christmas.

Bathroom light ping pong is a popular game here too. I used to lift Mosi up to play when he was a baby

and still do sometimes. I had a zooplus delivery last week and stashed the boxes in the bathroom near the light - Mosi climbed on top of them and was able to reach it all by himself

I soon got tired of the sound of it bashing against the wall though (I have a fairly heavy, cat shaped light pull on the end)
