Don't try this at home, folks...

These guys go at it night and day. They LOVE each other! I can't believe what a good playmate this kitten has made for Joey in the last several months. It might not look like it here but the two of them are best friends. This pic shows the newest game that they have invented...

Gracie loves to sit up on my old office chair and stretch out to sleep. Every once in awhile Joey will wander past the chair and she will wake up long enough to reach a paw down and cuff him wherever she can get him. If he's feeling particularly feisty he will jump up on his hind legs and they will go at it - no holds barred, claws and teeth out and raring to go. The best part? The chair spins...so while she is perched up on the chair, he's trying to keep up the fight with her all the while the chair is going around in circles. He's gotten quite good at staying up on his hind legs and following the motion of the chair.

The two of them might be at each other's throats sometimes but it never fails that at the end of the spat they find themselves up on the crate at the window snuggling in for a long nap...until it's time to jab at each other again... :)
