Cats are such interesting animals, and they are very much like us in some ways. They eat, sleep, play, fight, just like we do. Here's a look at how they do it. These pictures were taken at a friend's house last weekend. I was alone, looking after the house, and these guys made sure I was never bored!
First, two cats, brother and sister, are horsing around. Cool.

Then along comes the other brother and it's now a free-for-all.

One of them gets bored, moves off, looks to see what mischief he can get up to next, and decides to launch a surprise attack on Mom, who had been lying peacefully in the sun.

She lets him think he has the upper hand...

But that pesky kitten's illusions were soon shattered when he bit too hard and found himself in a very embarrassing situation immediately after. Yip, Mom is not pleased.

Moreover, he receives a severe telling off, and he doesn't look so fierce all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, his brother had decided to do the real thing; hunt. He brought back this field mouse to show us, growling menacingly whenever one of the others approached 'his' mouse.

Then everyone gets a little tired. And what do kittens do when they stop fooling around? They eat.

And then, of course, its onto their fave chair to curl up and sleep like the babies they are....until the next round of cat madness.
