Nightly Battle



* Happy Hour = Snack time before going to bed

I know, Niko. But after I take shower, OK?

Niko waits outside the shower room.
(Makes me take VERY quick shower.)

OK, I'm ready. Let's go.


Niko loves chicken so much...


He always takes over Goro's dish :-)


After Happy Hour, we play.


It's getting late. 
Niko, let's go to bed...



No, no. There is no 2nd Happy Hour.

Then Niko waits on the stairs.

Sometimes Goro joins.

Now, I'm very aware of 
Goro's growing tummy flab.


And Niko's meaty peach.


So, NO more snack...

(Uh-oh, leg rubbing always gets me.)

O...okay, just a tiny bit.

***

"Snack, more or no more"  
This is the battle I have to fight every night. It's
hard to win when the opponents are so cute.

  1. Binga and Boodie get a happy hour with my human's boyfriend, or at least the treat part. I don't bother 'cause the dog is there too.

  2. It is just this way with our cats! And it is so hard to resist!!! We have had to put our biggest cat on a diet he has gotten so fat. The vet says that cats have a 50-50 chance of diabetes when they get fat. Chicken is good for cats, though.

  5. Haha! It's hard to say no to those faces! Our mom has the same problem with us. We usually end up having a couple of Happy Hours before bed too!

  6. Since your happy hour treat is chicken, that is much better than if it were a cat treat with high calories and no nutrients. We don't see how you could ever say no to those cute faces.

  9. You are right to fill the boys to the rim each and every night...can you imagine how awful it would be to have 3 AM hungrumblies!?!

    It's a terrifying prospect, we tell you what.

  10. It is indeed very hard to resist such cute furry faces. Perhaps a deal can be made. More snacks but more play time to help work off the extra snacks. :)

  11. Dearest Tamago,
    Haha, I too told my furbabies that they can't have snacks 10 x... They never give up and pretend that they never received any; even when still having parts of them in their mouth!
    That's a game they know so well to play and we always succumb to their cat-charm!
    Love your meaty peach label!
    Hugs to you and it sounds like you had a lovely Mother's day. I had with all 8 fur babies around when drinking my green tea in the gazebo... Made me happy!

  19. We have snack time before bed too- there's always a bag of something good in our night tables. Tommie, Gracie and Mickey Mouser line up and shake paws. Then it's lights out.
    I love kitty rituals.

  30. Ooh... Chickie nom! Hmmm... What if i demand to have happy hour too... Hmmm... Will figure out how to suggest that to momma.

  31. Mom would lose the battle every singlw night if she had your boys! How she love them. Those meaty peaches and tummies...ah... but still Niko san and Goro san, you must not ask Mommy for two Happy Hours because then, your will grow so much you may not feel like playing. I will tell you what. I will y=transport over in my tunnel and we can play chase around the house. It will be fun. I will be the one who is being chansed! How's that? xxxoooxxx <3

  34. Is Goro having something else to eat, or it's the same food and it's just curiosity? My kitties are always jealous of each other's food :).
