I’m not quite sure what’s gotten into Simba lately. I feed them later in the summer (altho because of daylight savings time, it’s really at the same time). But since I still go to bed at the same time, that means he doesn’t have as much time with me in the evenings (especially when I walk the dogs). Plus he doesn’t lay on me in the mornings, either, unless it rains like today.

So he’ll walk around wailing at night. I think he wants to go back outside, but that’s not happening. Plus, he’s started to sleep with me frequently. Simba has always been the one that rarely sleeps with us, and most often comes in after we’ve all gone to bed. But now he’s coming to bed with me, often waiting for me to come to bed.

Gizmo used to be that way, but he stopped sleeping with us when we got Chester. Although he’s started to sleep in his carrier in our bedroom sometimes now. So we’ve had the four of them all together in the room some nights.

One of Gizmo’s favorite places to hang out is on the scale. So I never have to worry much about him losing weight & my not noticing it.

I have definitely noticed that the boys aren’t as playful as they used to be. They still get the crazies at times, which drives the dogs nuts, but they spend the vast majority of the day sleeping. Even if I try to entice them to play during the day, most times it’s a half hearted attempt on their part. They are most active at dawn & dusk (that’s when prey is most active), but otherwise, they’re usually pretty content to snooze in the same location for hours.
