Momo shows how

Momo says, See Fiko, it's not lava. Come play with me downstairs.

No Momos were harmed

Momo was playing under the plastic sheets covering the chairs while painting. Don't worry, he wasn't suffocating or anything. I would only let that happen if he were really being a pain. Joking!

Are you sure it's safe?

Fiko has been up in the loft looking down at us on the first floor for hours now, and won't stop crying. I guess the stairs are made of LAVA.

Helloooo down there

They really love the spiral staircase.

Still scared of the lava stairs

Fiko still seems to think the stairs are made of lava and he won't come down and hang out with the rest of us.

Cat on armchair

Romeo's a week ahead of Fiko in making himself at home in the new place.

Come on out, Fiko

Fiko wouldn't come out of the bedroom, which was his safe zone.

Note to contractors

Fiko hurt his footsie

Fiko started limping last night. I hope it's just a little splinter and that he didn't break something. He won't let me near his foot to investigate. Do I put him through the torture of a vet visit today, or wait a day to see if it gets better on its own??

Buddies

Hey, the wall matches my tongue!

Can you find Fiko?

This is their home for the week.

Fiko makes an appearance

Fiko finally came out of his bathroom safe zone and huddled behind some furniture. When we came home from dinner, I saw him from outside looking out the bay windows!

Scared Fiko

Fiko's favorite hiding spot is behind the toilet. Ew.

Stairs with cats

Two down, two to go. Fiko and Jiji still won't come near the stairs...

Stairs with tails

On day 3 in the new condo, Momo finally ventured out of the bathroom to explore his new home. Now I can't get him off the stairs.

Brave Romeo

Romeo is still the only cat who has explored the new condo beyond the bathroom. His reward is lots of affection.

Cat TV

Romeo checks out the view from the window for the first time. It's a good view for both people and cats!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel

For the longest time, Romeo would stand up there and cry, before we taught him how to come down the spiral staircase using food as encouragement.

Romeo takes his first step down the spiral staircase

Now he runs up and down with no problem, days ahead of the other cats who still won't come out of the bathroom. Romeo is so brave!

Momo and Fiko huddle while scary movers make lots of scary noises

They've never been this friendly with each other before. I guess they are united against a common enemy.

Guarding the Bed

Jiji made a scary face every time anyone came near the bed, aka Her Heiness's Throne.

Don't forget to pack me

Scared cats

Momo fragile - plz bubble wrapz me!

Settle down, there's room for everyone

Packing provides many new locations for cats to park their butts on. Problem is, they all want to park on the same ones. Momo just wouldn't budge an inch for Romeo so Romeo sat on his head.

Momo-sized gap

Oh you wanted to move this? Too bad.

We're moving in 2 days - the kitties are helping in their own special way.
