Do Tonks usually get a little bit more mellow in the summer?
He's just over a year old now,and i was noticing - not quite as hyper as before.
Rigby's healthy as a fiddle, but lately, he's been on the quieter side... and sleeping more often during the day in his hiding spot (under the far side of the bed on some pillows). I even leave the A/C on for them during the day so it won't get too warm...
But his sister, Isabella, has been running around like a kitten! but then again, she IS only 10 months old.

so i was just curious... is he just getting older and more mellow? Is he bored? or is it just the summer heat?

AWWWWW!!! How could he possibly be bored when he has that little cutie as a playmate??

I suspect a good deal of it has to do with the weather. It's hot and muggy here now and my two have been taking it pretty easy. But, just give us one brisk day with a hint of fall in the air and all bets will be off... They're not as wired as a kitten any more (at least not as often as when they were younger) but they still get pretty frisky!

Liat goes a little slower during the summer too, at least on the worst days. This morning, however, she was determined to untie my shoes.

Awwwwwwwwww, how incredibly cute!
I can't address this issue because at age 17, Chris has slowed down a lot. I do think that the warmer weather does make our kitties a bit more sluggish, so not to worry, when it cools off, they'll be off like missles.
I'm so excited.....there's a cat show here in Yakima this weekend!!

SUMMERTIME.....AND THE TONK LIVING IS EASY....

Can someone please describe for me what it is like having "slowed down kitties" ?????? Wow, that must be nice. Mine didn't come standard with that feature and I guess I forgot to purchase that option

Enjoy the calm and give those two cuties big fat smoochies from all of us over here!!!

Hey look, I finally figured out how to use all the smilie faces!!!!

well, i brought home a NEW toy with a bell...and that's all it took! kitties were running amuck! lol.

What pretty babies. I love how they squeeze into their bed.
