Non-Recipe: Loki and Leo and a Box Video

Loki and Leo

I’ve been having so much fun following our new kitten, Loki, around with a camera that I haven’t cooked anything new this week. Instead, I’d like to show all of you fans of Loki a side of him you haven’t seen yet. In most of his photos, he’s staring soulfully into the camera, the picture of innocence. In reality, he’s more likely to be found kicking all of the dirt out of houseplants, knocking everything off my desk, or racing through the house with his partner in crime, Leo. Their expressions often look a lot like this:

Loki and Leo

It doesn’t look like they’re having fun, but they are, and they’re usually equally aggressive in their play fights.

Loki has been a real gift to Leo. Though Leo’s now 5 years old, he has a lot of playful energy, which hasn’t gone over well with our older cats. But now that Loki is here, he’s leaving the other cats alone and finding that one small kitten is as much as he can handle.

Without further ado, here’s Loki and Leo’s first video, with soundtrack by Lorenzo’s Music:


I’ll be back soon with an actual recipe.

    They are too adorable! I’ve never had cats, but the video made me want a pair!

    Those two are just made for each other. I bet the video would go viral if you put it on Youtube! Thanks or sharing heir adorableness.

    Two kitties is WAY better than one! You know, there’s something a little kooky about the genes of a siamese tabby cat. My Szechuan was pretty wild in his younger days. Must be something in the eyes! Has Loki started “talking” to you yet? Siamese are known for being very vocal!

      Shana, he is almost completely silent. We’ve only heard his tiny voice a handful of times, usually when we (or Leo) are holding him and won’t let him go. He doesn’t cry for food or during shots or anything. He’s the quietest cat I know.

    So fun! Thanks for sharing. Is Loki a Siamese?

      He must be part Siamese, but he was rescued off the street, so we’ll never know.

    I love Loki’s eyes.. and Leo looks exactly like a cat I used to have named Twinkles.
    I haven’t laughed this much in a while, thank you!

    B’aww, your Loki sounds like he’s as charming and as devious as my kitty (Also named Loki). Just goes to show you what you get naming anyone after the god of Mischief. Is your boy a leg climber like mine?

    He looks like such a sweetheart though!!

      Oh gosh, YES! He races up and down the furniture–and sideways. He can’t jump very high so compensates by climbing over everything. I’ve given up on keeping my furniture looking nice.

        Hi Susan, There used to be sheets of material like double-stick tape that you could put on upholstered furniture and was supposed to keep cats off–I don’t know if it is still available.

        Thanks for the reminder of how wonderful it is to have a kitten (it’s been a long time)!

    Susan,
    The video of the cat/kitten exchange and play is priceless! I have one cat and have recently thought of getting her a little friend.
    You are also a master photographer and now a great videographer! You also continue to be a great inspiration to me.

    Thank you for your sincerity, honesty, great information and delicious healthy recipes; which I refer to often on my own blog!

    Cheers,

    Your cats’ antics made me laugh. Loki looks so precious. I’m happy for Leo that he got a great playmate!

    Loki is adorable! He looks like the twin of my 6-month old siamese tabby, Zoey. She’s also become the partner in crime to 3-year-old Eli (and they leave the older one alone). The scenes from your video are what happen in my house on a daily basis, too. Yay for cat families!

    Susan, you made my day. Nothing more entertaining then a kitten at play. Looks like you may need to change that “K” in his name to an “N”
    Bless you for rescuing animals who need homes. I’ve been doing it for 25 years and nothing is more expensive or rewarding. LOL

    I love it! I had a similar experience with my male cat, Theo, when I brought a tiny homeless kitten in from the cold. I’d only intended to foster her until I could find a home for her, but when Theo saw her they immediately began to tumble and play. It wasn’t until then that I realized how unhappy he’d been before as an only cat. As with humans, some are more social than others! Needless to say, the kitty stayed and we all lived happily ever after. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Loki and Leo are meant for each other. Wow, usually introducing a new kitty presents indignation, but all I see is love. How Cool:). I have two kitties that are my Everything’s. Live inthe woods and they hike with me and give me laughs and love. Happy Days!

    I just wanted to thank you VERY much for sharing this. It really made me smile and laugh. I had two cats, both grew to a nice old age but the last died last year. Till the end he loved a box, any box, and like Leo he never lost his playfulness. I really miss them both. This brought back some fun memories. Thanks. … And, I love the recipes so thanks for all that you share.

    It was so much fun to watch and you’re just as good at taping videos as your are at taking beautiful photos of your dishes. You are multi-talented!!!

    I loved the part where Joe tried giving Loki a bath towards the end – he fought and fought and finally calmed down and gave in to a good clean! Hee hee!!!
