That chubby sausage

Introducing the one with the long body and a chubby stomach. Her name is Truffles. 


At night you can hear light snoring leaving her small coiled up body. When she has overstayed her invitation to my room, she turns her head just enough to avoid my pondering gaze. She thinks she's fooled me into believing that she's asleep. Playing possum is her favourite night time game, one that can only be played with me. I can never bare the thought of making her leave my warm room and go back into the cold dark night. Even if the white fluffy one keeps her warm and company. His name is Fufu.


This morning, I taught them a good trick. It is called "Hi 5", but really I only need to tell them to sit first and place my palm near their front legs. They understand what they must do: raise the left paw and place it in my palm. I am thinking of improving this to "extreme Hi 5", which involves jumping into the air and doing the trick. If that proves to be impossible, I might just settle for teaching them how to "Hi 5" each other.
