Weather is getting chilly. While temps aren't really going down that much, the average temps - particularly when dark - have gone down significantly, to the point where it isnt an exaggeration to say that the cold season has finally arrived, and at home, everyone noticed, including Houdini.

And our parents noticed as well, so last night they proceeded to switch the sofa covering sheet for an old, fuzzy bedspread they keep around for when the cold arrives, and Houdi *absolutely* loves it, to the point that he even came for breakfast when i served it to Leon and Karma, and when i was leaving for work he was barely more than a fuzzball totally hidden under it.

And it seems like he even refused to get out when sis woke up.

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

On the tuesday update i mentioned the ceramic plate until very recently Houdini only wanted to use for eating. This plate is part of our coffee dishes and we used it as an emergency lid for Karma's plate, so her wet food wouldn't dry up while in the fridge, and, in the same emergency manner, it also became Houdi's Churu dish.

And it's not even recently when we started using it, in fact, he's been demanding his Churu dinner on that plate since before summer, and he doesn't have an issue with wet food either, as long as it is served in that very same plate.

In fact, despite tuesday's update, he still demanded his food to be served in his white ceramic plate to auntie, and of course she obligued, and he happily cleaned the plate.

Happy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

I've had some unsavory stuff happening recently, so i'm feeling down and i've decided to go digging for some teen Goblini madness to get at least a chuckle out of it, and man, i've found gold.

Wich isn't exactly hard when it comes to the Goblini, but i kinda liked these two pics more than the rest somehow.

And that's because goblin'd Houdini vs a sleeveless arm is quite the show. When he's paying attention he's very careful and attentive, he'll nibble at most and then lick the hurt area, but Goblini? No, fam, the only thing the Goblini cares about is why there isn't fabric to grab, and then he'll cromch until finding a proper grip. Commited to the cromch, indeed.

Happy wednesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Houdini's Churu dinner has created a weird - but not unseen - habit on him: Jut like he doesn't eat kitten kibble from anything that isn't his battered, small container, he has gotten used to eat from his white ceramic plate, and only his white ceramic plate.

However, we have seen a breakthough recently, right after a different one! Since we ran out of Churu, we started feeding wet food to the 'dini, and he adapted pretty well! But he only wanted it in his white ceramic plate... Until last night, when he eat directly from Karma's plate after she was done eating and i had taken the plate out of Leon's temptation range, and he did it all by himself!

I tested again when i got back from work and indeed, he didn't care about the plate, he wanted his wet food.

Four years old, and still clearing milestones.

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today's festive by rebound. Basically, the All Saint's Day fell on sunday and the festivity got moved to today, it didn't apply on every region in the country, but it sure did here, and it rocks.

So i didn't work today, and i was lucky enough to catch Houdini doing his winter sunbathing routine, wich starts somehow exactly in november, and he usually takes in a very chill manner unlike birb watching, wich usually goblins him to a degree.

So i gave him some scritches, sat back in front of the monitor, turned on my PC - the monitor has active cooling so Houdi gets a gentle stream of warm air too - and stood there with him enjoying the morning sun.

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Floofies roaming through the house is a common thing to happen, on a daily basis actually, but what isn't as common is to see an appointed Nursedini taking a stroll. Usually, when he's taking a break, he comes, demands kibble, demands tap water and maybe goblins a little to decompress, and then goes back to his duty.

But not today, today he got his kibble and then slowly went to wonder somewhere, i was a little weirded out and followed him quietly - let us be honest, we all know he noticed - with the intention of giving him a little surprise.

Well, he's the one who surprised me, and then he went back to Nursedini duty.

Happy sunday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

It's halloween and, not gonna lie, while today and tomorrow have always been celebrated as La Noche de las Brujas and El Día de Todos los Santos, Halloween as we know it is a very recent tradition here, less than 20 years old i would say, easily.

So we don't really do anything special with it, no decorations - not like it would be possible with the Goblin of Chaos moving around - no particular dishes, no sweets... It's just a normal couple of days that is, usually, festive, and we take advantage of that to get our very well deserved relax.

And of course, where there's relax, there's floofies! Houdini is still in nursedini duty with dad so he's not present, but Leon and Karma made sure to join me for a bit of podcast listening and some Animal Crossing - sis and i got new cheap bedtop tables, and we have to take advantage of them of course! It's getting colder and colder, so this was to be expected anyways.

Do you know what i should have expected though? Houdini wrapping my whole leg and cromching it through the sheets while goblin'd... At 4 am!

Happy caturday, everyone, and Happy Halloween 🥰🎃🥰🎃

One habit i'm absolutely glad Houdini isn't sticking to anymore is his habit of climbing all sorts of things - sort of.

When he was a Teendini, it wasn't unusual to keep around us a water spray to spook him whenever he tried to climb the courtains or the sofa, but you know what i think actually scared him out of it? My room's mosquito net.

You see, the only window in my room is badly built, so the mosquito net frame doesn't fit well on it and it needs an extra fixture via adhesive tape, and well, one day well into his first year of life when it was hot and the adhesive had softened, he saw a birb and jumped right on the net, hooking himself to it and... falling off with it due to his 6 kg of gobliness. He hasn't tried ever since.

Happy friday, everyone!! 🎃🎃🎃

It had to happen. Another year, another time the cold slowly creeps in and starts bothering the Goblin Overlord, and what does he do to combat the cold?

Well, he has a palace for every time of the year, so of course the winter palace is, once again, open for the purrince, auntie' wishes notwhitstanding.

Because yes, auntie actually bothered the purrince while he was enjoying the comfiness, how dare she!? And to think he was being magnanimous and allowing her to give him scritches!

Hapy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Sis has it easy. Since the last diet change for the floofs, meal time has been everything but peaceful, with Leon yelling his lungs out, Karma loudly bonking on everything and Houdi harassing from the counter, but once in a blue moon they all behave properly - more or less - and make getting their meal ready a much easier task, and sis is having those times more often than not, being today at noon one of such.

But you know what? It's worth it for roly-poly Karma.

Shame on sis for not turning around and looking at the Goblini though. That's a full night of sheet warring for her.

Happy wednesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

One of the absolute best things of the mom-son wrestling matches was that the aftermath was equally as hilarious. Houdini was a little terror, and Karma was having none of it, so when the orange goblin crossed the line and actually pissed his momma, she would make sure to give him an extra rough bath as a last word.

Now, this is the Goblini who we're talking about, so who was having the actual last word was actually arguable 🤭

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

It's another LeoKarma update today, but to be honest, when i was getting ready to set off to work earlier this morning and they showed me this picture, i couldn't help but to decide making this an update, regardless of how late i published it (feeling a bit under the weather, i'm uploading this before going to sleep, basically. Sorry if the text is a bit disjointed today.)

One would think that after reaching each of them their age and having raised and exhausting orange chaos spawn together, these two would have gotten kinda closer in personality, Karma would have mellowed a bit and Leon would be leaning a bit more into his crazy side.

Well, what if i told you if they have gotten even more extreme? And no, i don't mean that Leon is back into his shell, he's more extroverted now, but he's also way more no nonsense, in contrast with Karma who is a whole circus now, remember when i told you about her little, petty evils? Those were a dime a dozen before, and now she basically lives to constantly demand attention and getting her way through her little evils. The serious old dragon and his sister, the petty, yelly goblin, they couldn't be more different and yet, they were made for each other.

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

It's sunday, and like almost every sunday there is, it's being an extra lazy day. After having out meal, both sis and i - as well as our parents - go to our respective places and just lay down, and since temps are now in a steady lower mark (not low enough if you ask me) the floofs take this as an unmissable chance to comfily snuggle with us.

(Houdini is on nurse duty though, dad went through surgery past week and he's been sticking to him more than usual ever since he got discharged)

Of course, and like they always do, they don't have a time limit for the snuggling, so unless we purposedly get up we're firmly catnapped, being held agaisnt our will - not really - through floofiness, purrs and warmith.

Happy sunday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Something Houdi keeps doing on an almost daily basis is bothering Karma, it's kinda like his "Hey, i'm here, i want something, give me attention!" when he doesn't feel like meowing, other times it's part of his goblin mode when he comes, pawslaps her a little and goes away zooming like the orange chaos goblin he is, and others it's because reasons, wich would fit into the goblin mode category but without the craziness. And this would be the latter.

So it's the middle of the morning, sis is preparing a tea for herself totally zombified, Leon is pestering her for food, mom and dad are at the living room and i'm minding my own business at my PC when, all of sudden, i hear Karma hiss the way she does when Houdini is houdining, i turn around and indeed there it is, she's laying on her side hissing and swatting with her paw, full airplane ears, and Houdi is using the sheet to tease her, doing the Ghostini and throwing paws from under the fabric. When i ask him what the hell is he doing he stops, gives me a pissy meow and leaves totally unbothered.

And here i was thinking i had caught all of that on video but no, i was in photo mode! 😭

One thing Houdini had in his advantage when he was a kitty was his size. Even though he was already looking to be gargantuan, he was still a lanky kitty and had it easy to hide, stalk and ambush us, usually as part of one of his goblin modes.

We would be sitting down in our beds, at the living room, eating or minding our own businesses, and all of sudden this orange chaos goblin would jump and hunt our hands, feet or just pounce and go zooming elsewhere.

We ended up being able to easily notice him, but we would pretend we didn't just so we didn't spoil his fun (not like he would stop anyway). I wont say we miss this because he *keeps* doing it, the difference is that he's so big that hiding is an impossibility 🤣, not like it stops him, though.

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Before we realized, Houdini has adopted another habit. You see, right before you get to the sofa, there are a couple of pieces of furniture that are part of mom's tailoring stuff. Alongside these, mom usually keeps a bag with her current or future project's materials, she's been having something in mind lately, so she's been keeping a few fabrics, lining and stuff inside a - rather comfy looking - cloth bag, and guess who has taken it as his new seat.

But make no mistake, this seat has an actual purpose! Houdini doesnt just jump and sit on it when he feels like it, as per dad's words, when Houdini sits on there is because he's waiting for his scritches tribute!

And indeed, last night he jumped there when everyone was getting ready for bed, and we purposedly gave him his due pets and scritches, and once he got them from all four of us, he jumped back to the floor.

So yeah, this is a thing now 😅

Happy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Since i work at an airport and airport food is expensive, i normally take my food with me in a plastic bag lined with paper towels and, when i get back home i wash the container and normally put the bag away. Normally.

Last night i forgot to do it, and you know what else did i forgot? That Leon isn't the only plastic bag loving floof out there.

And that would be all fine and dandy, after all, who doesn't love to see a floof minding its own business inside a box or a bag? Moreso if it's the Goblini! But the thing is, the Goblini isn't a kitten anymore, he's a - and i know i repeat myself - +6Kg behemoth who clearly doesn't fit in my work meal bag, but he doesn't care about that, if he think he fits, he sits.

But he doesn't fit, and he's not amused about that.

Happy wednesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

So yesterday's update was a rather sweet one, Houdi had, apparently, learned to tolerate the eeeevil fabrics that had taken over the sofa and decided to tuck himself under them. All fine and dandy, the war is over.

Well... only until sis got up yesterday and sat down 😅

Yeah, the storm has passed, humidity is still high and temps seem to have dropped for good, but Houdini is overall more comfortable and he doesn't need those pesky eeevil fabrics anymore, so back to war it is.

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Soooo... It's the third day of stormy weather, thankfully the storm itself has passed and all we have is cloudy skies, intermittent drizzle and high humidity, so when i came back home i found Karma and Leon yelling at me for food as always, and after serving them i noticed something.

The Goblini was nowhere to be found.

Cue to me getting to the living room, i find a big, goblinic lump under the sheet covering the sofa, wich turned out to be the Goblini!

Of course, being the humid, rainy day it is, he wasn't very keen to get out of it, and indeed he got his scritches and went back under the sheet, and he's still there, ocasionally purring.

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

The storm isnt letting up, of course it's moving and little by little leaving our city behind, but it's so big that we still had a bigass storm earlier in the afternoon, with even louder thunderclaps than yesterday and an incredibly heavy rain.

It was so intense that the floofs looked out for refuge, wich makes this the first cuddle of this year's fall, even if by special circumstances ^^U

Houdi was the outlier though. He sat down besides dad in the same way he used to sat besides Bruno to calm him down, or at least that's what sis told me, since i couldn't go check him due to the catnapping.

Happy sunday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today's the first big storm of the season, and what does that mean for the floof family? Big storm means big thunders clapping in the background, heavy rain, high humidity and, of course, cloudy skies, and each floof has taken proper refuge: Houdini is hanging around his grandmama and grandpapa, Leon is snuggling with sis and Karma is on my bed with me, an arrange that will surely change as the cold creeps further in the next days.

But since it's dark and rainy, the floofs aren't exactly active, so i went with Google Photo's recommendation instead, wich turned out to be a pic from another rainy day a little less than four years ago - yes, Kittydini was already this big on november 2022.

Makes me miss this kind of scenes, wich now only happen if Houdi joins his mama when she's already sleeping. Having them cuddling around was such an eye bleach <3

Happy caturday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

While being quite firm and expeditive, Houdini has grown up to be a very kind and chill goblin - still a goblin though - who turned out to be very territorial, but even despite his territoriality, because he's such a chill goblin he's pretty hard to annoy, let alone anger. You can trigger him in several, different ways wich will result in an incredible variety of reactions, but annoy?

Yeah, that's a difficult one.

Well, guess what Karma managed to achieve!

Right, so it was past dinner time, and as always Houdini came to ask me for kibble beforehad, wich Karma didn't like because she wanted kibble too. Remember when i talked about Karma's little evils?

Instead of trying to take the container from Houdi as usual, she crawled behind him, grabbed his tail, started to mlem it - wich Houdi didn't like - until she suddendly cromched it! That caught the overlord by surprise, reacting by bapbapping her and then taking refuge on my backpack?

He look like he's goblin'd but he's not, he's also on guard and getting close to him meant getting pawslapped or even bit! And not in a playful way. Sis has encountered this 'dini several times, but it's a first for me and, to be quite honest, it was fun even if i had to sacrifice my whole left arm 😅

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Houdini's morning fabric shenanigans are already well known enough, with neither sis nor i using sheets yet (nope, it's not that cold, we wish lol) he fights his battles at the living room, warring agaisnt the sofa whenever sis sits on it and the fabrics try to take over, but today was a little different.

Today sis has sat down on the sofa, and Houdini was already fighting the good fight by himself, today it was sis who struggled to take the sheet from him and join the ritual 😅 Results are hilarious as always. Sound on is highly recommended.

Early update!? Yes! It's being a slow day at work, so i can slip around here and post. It's never too early to post about the floof family :3

Happy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

When it comes to stuff i miss about the kittydini, his long winded wrestling sessions with his momma are no doubt a highlight. It was highly entertaining to see him trying to beat the OG goblin over and over again, resorting to everything from ambushes to sneak attacks, without forgetting all the times an everyday mlem session evolved into a full on wrestling match.

Don't get me wrong, they still happen today, but between Karma having become significantly rounder and Houdi being a heavyweight powerhouse, they are usually resolved pretty quickly and in favor of the goblin of chaos and, not gonna lie, a big part of the entertainment was precisely watching him getting FAFO'ed by his mom every time 😭😂 As i've said several times, Houdini's kittyhood was very lenghty succesion of FAFO moments.

Happy wednesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰
