G-FutonWalk.jpgWow, this back scratcher is fun!"
Date: 04/15/2007
Before we got Houdini, Genghis used to lie upside-down under our futon and walk along the bottom with his claws. It's bad for the mattress, but we thought it was hilarious.

Houdini and Genghis both scratch at this, but they also find it comfortable to just sit on.
H-LeapLand.jpgHoudini, leaping for the feather
Date: 04/15/2007
Houdini is hyper when he plays. If the feather arcs over him, he leaps and flips in the air to catch it. Our friend Danielle entertains Houdini while I try (and fail) to capture him in mid-flip.

Genghis and Houdini, as affectionate as I've seen them, sleeping right next to each other. The sound of the camera briefly makes Genghis half-open his eyes.
