Callie and Kaboodle

My parents got a new kitten a few weeks ago and named him Kaboodle (Kitten Kaboodle is his full name). We have been here for almost a week now and Callie has loved playing with him since the day we got here. At first, they didn't know exactly what to do with one another. Callie would walk towards Kaboodle and he would get scared, but then Kaboodle would walk towards Callie and she would get scared. It has been great entertainment for both of them. Callie will walk around with one of Kaboodle's toys and he will run around and leap at her and at the toy. They also have a cardboard box that they both like to play in. If Kaboodle is in the box, Callie will try to step in it with him and he will grab her leg with his paws so that she can't get in. It hasn't been all fun and games though: Callie maliciously stepped on Kaboodle a couple of days ago and her ran and hid under the chair for an hour.
Callie hasn't exactly figured out how to pet the cat, so she usually either just pulls on his fur, pulls his tail, or (our personal favorite) just touches him on the nose with one finger.



They enjoyed seeing one another through the window the other day.

They were both very interested in Papa using the leaf blower yesterday afternoon, so they watched him for about 10 minutes while he was in the back yard.
