Are you talking about the community effort to remove an HOA board member? No, but that is progressing. Two days in, it is 2/3 of the way to the required number of signatures; on a holiday weekend.
I am talking about Murphy and Stella. There are still moments of "wrestling," but it is mostly playful. The other night, there was a loud noise when I dropped something: Murph and Stella both "ran for it." Sensing no danger, Murphy came out right away. Stella did not. After a while, Murphy started looking around for her. "Where's my sister?" Curiosity or concern?
At feeding time, they eat their own food, then swap places to eat the other's food. Kinda like Jr High lunchroom. Most of the time, they are fine being close... then, one of them will toss in a slap or a bite, and the "Slapdown" is on!
Chillin...
And the slapdown...
And back to peace and harmony...

Adorable. At least your guys didn't kill the Easter Bunny. Yes, I found a young deceased rabbit on the bathroom floor this week. This hasn't happened in about three years. Lucy had brought her kill inside to be admired. All sugar and spice.... plus claws and fangs. They are cute fuzzy domestic cats who like to sleep on the bed with us, but inside lurks the instincts and skill set of a tiger.
So, no marshmallow eggs at your house today? ;-) Are you sure Lucy wasn't making a statement: "This bunny didn't have the food ready on time for his brood... don't be like this bunny."
We keep them well fed regularly. Apart from being much larger, I really don't want them getting hungry and thinking about alternate food sources (fingers and toes).
This was actually the second bunny. The first one got as far as the master bathroom floor. This second was found on the dining room floor. My theory is that it got away from Lucy after being brought into the house overnight, and hid somewhere. When the house was divided it came out again later only to find Duke waiting, complete with his fierce killer instinct. He is basically a mini Bengal tiger. Who needs Marlon Perkins? We live in the Wild Kingdom...
LOL How many people under 50 would know who Marlon Perkins is? "Here, we see Jim approaching the alligator... the 20 foot alligator doesn't seem happy and is making a lunge towards Jim. It appears that Jim has crapped himself as he climbs that nearby tree, and narrowly escapes with 3 of his 4 appendages. And that brings us to the topic of insurance: we have insurance on Jim when he does this dumb stuff while I narrate from the safely of our studio, 7000 miles away. Do you have insurance? What would your family do if you weren't as fast as Jim? And that's where Mutual of Omaha comes in." (cut to commercial)
Actually one of our secondary channels (I started to type higher UHF channels - another blast from the past) has started running old episodes of Wild Kingdom again. They are pretty cheesy and filmed low-res, per the equipment of the day. Your parody dialogue is very well done. It reminds me of how I always reacted to the show.
Thanks, Earl. Even as a youngster, I could see that Marlon wasn't one to get his hands dirty. While Jim was up to his armpits in quicksand. LOL
