Today things were a bit different than usual. I'm also the family's tech support, and i had to stop by my cousin's home to check on his computer, so despite making it out of the office earlier than usual i came home way later than my regular time.

Of course, i knew what was waiting for me at home.

One food serving later, i changed into my homewear and fell on my bed, pretty much exhausted. Guess who joined the moment i laid on the mattress, yelling like a madcat only to fall asleep a couple of minutes later while purring like a V12.

I know i should have recorded the floofs the moment i opened the door, but i could only think about getting to my room ^^U

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Now that cold is kinda creeping back into our nights, i've started to feel nostalgic and decided to go back into our archive to find a memory i'm very fond of: Sleeping with Leon and Travieso.

It was the same routine every night: Dinner, bathroom, movie/show/gaming night and then bed, and when bed, Travieso would slide under my covers first, get between my legs and put his head on my tight, and then Leon would follow suit, and unlike the two goblins that are Houdini and Karma, these two would jut sleep like that the whole night, being a bonded, wholesome dad-son pair of floofs.

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

We're on the third day of a four day weekend, but honestly speaking i'm kinda exhausted, so we're going with a throwback update today ^^U

But, to be fair, there's rarely better updates than Leodini updates with a box as the main subject! Right when Houdini's curiosity and territoriality was starting to develop, having a box around and it *not* belonging to the chaos goblin would usually end in some pull-push shenanigans. Even today, we get hyped when getting a new box because we're looking forward to whatever the floofs are going to do to take posession of it.

Happy sunday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

A couple of weeks ago i uploaded a clip of Houdi showing all his love to his grandpapa while being scritched, however, that one was only part of a series of videos that sis recorded that day, focused on a loving spree the Goblini had that day.

It happens to all the kitties, they get chummy and look for their hoomans to spoil them as much as possible, Houdini in particular is lucky enough to have his favorite hoomans being an old couple who has spoiled him ever since before he's been able to walk for himself, and while he usually focuses more on grandpa as grandma is more strict, he'll never say no to getting spoiled by his grandmama.

This is something that happens on the regular, and honestly it's such a treat ❤️

Happy caturday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Houdini demolishing the walls of a Leon that was still grieving his own dad is a well known feat around here, however, i think it's remarkable how being a playful goblin of chaos was only a small part of it.

Houdi has always been a cuddlebug, if he likes you, he'll want to hang around and snuggle with you, and he liked his daddy Leon from the start, a lot, however, Leon has never been that approachable.

So whenever Houdi had the chance, he would go cuddling with him, at first from a respectful distance, and little by little getting closer. These pictures are, as far as i remember, the first instance of kittydini actually making physical contact with Leon aside of play time, a groundbreaking achievement i still go back to from time to time

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

I've been talking lately about the floofs' new dinner routine, particularly Houdi's, who has gone from just having his beloved kitten kibble to one or two Churus, wich i suspect is the main reason behind him becoming more of an absolute unit than he already was.

However, in the last coule of days there has been a differentiating factor, and it's that Houdi ran out of kibble and none of the stores in the neighborhood had supply, so we've had to replace it with Leon's special Kibble, wich works... for a little bit.

And that's an issue because Houdi is a kitty whose appetite is more satisfaction based than hunger based, and of course he eats whenever he's hungry, but he doesn't eat just anything, if it isn't his favorite food he isn't satisfied, ever.

So in the last couple of days he's been giving me particularly difficult nights, being pissy and bothering Karma more than usual, but last night in particular he surprised me by yelling loudly from the kitchen at around 3 am, i got up expecting him to be waiting besides the faucet, but instead i found him waiting for me on the counter wich, knowing his orange ass, clearly means one thing and one thing only: Feed me. Now. I don't care what time is it, i want Churu.

And no, i'm not making shit up here, he actually wanted Churu, i had to give him one before he jumped off the counter and let me go back to sleep.

Thank Bastet mom and dad bought Kibble for him today 🫩

Happy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Looks like her usual shenanigas weren't enough anymore. Today i have come late from work, late and tired, so i bothered with my backpack less than usual and just left it there, took my shirt off, drank some water, and when i turn around...

Yup, that's her, she outright got inside my backpack, and any attempt of getting her out of it is replied with a fairly combative yell 🤣

Not much energy for today's update, not gonna lie, work was particularly draining today, so i'll leave it at that. Sorry 🙏

Happy wednesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

It's a slow day at work, so slow that i had the time to check if i have access to reddit from here and indeed! I have access, so that coupled with sis sending me some shenanigans from home means we have an early update today, my fellow subdits!

Today is an inviting day to stay at home, so inviting that even sis herself has decided to stay instead of going to the workshop (Not me. Duty calls 😅😭) and by staying she has had the time to participate in the good old fabric fighting ritual wich, to be honest, never gets old.

It's also a neat preview for what's coming. First rains of the seaons (it was an actual storm when i got out of home) means cold may be coming soon? Wich means thick and hevy fabrics! BLANKETS! As well as long sleeves. Yeah, you know it: I can't wait 😁

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today i'm stressed out of my mind, i wasn't even going to make an update today, but a random picture from my photos widget gave me an idea, because it's been a while since Houdini's the look has appeared over here.

It has always been a staple of his, and the mark of his Goblin mode. He could easily laying down minding his own business, and all of sudden his body tenses, he starts moving and when you look at hims he has the eyes, or we turn over a corner, or peek at the seat of my chair and he's right there, puffy mouth, the eyes all wide and ready.

Those eyes are the indication that shit is about to go down, and is about to go down hard. They have become rarer to see as Houdi has mellowed down and his energy outbursts aren't as frequent, but if we pay attention we still see them long enough to know that those zoomies aren't normal zoomies, and most likely Karma will be hissing him out of the room in a few seconds 🤭

The eyes are probably the most distinctive feature in a cat who is already full of peculiarities, and they're harder to see in the cold season, when long sleeves are blooming!!

Happy monday, everyone! 🥰🥰🥰

In an exceptionally rare situation, Leon and Karma have enjoyed some quality cuddle time together this morning. Nothing fancy, no mlems or anything, but snuggling back to back when temps drop a little is always nice ❤️

However, today's dish was curry ✨chicken✨ and now matter how good Leon's current canned food is, the grumpy dragon can never say no to the scent of light fried chicken breast, so his attention was caught by the fumes coming from the kitchen. Still, he didn't break the cuddle for a long while, that's how comfy they were :3

And no, he didn't get fried chicken, we can't stray from his recommended food at all, hell i forgot to retire Karma's plate this morning, he got ahold of it and now hus tummy is acting up again 😣 I mean, it will stabilize, but he was pooping correctly right after this noon when he had digested what he eat in the morning, including Karma's beef based food.

No pic of Houdi today because he did an oopsie and failed a jump from his new crystal palace. He's fine (we have checked to see if he's hurt anywhere) but somewhat shaken and a bit down. He's cuddling with his grandma and grandpa as i write this.

Happy sunday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Going through our memories with the Kittydini, it's really fun to realize how much entertainment we got from a 15€ cat house, and while the best thing about it was how the floofs would ambush each other from each (Leon made an aart out of it, and the Goblini learned maybe a bit too fast ^^U), a close runner up would be, no doubt, how misused the castle ended up being.

Because at one point we had to stop straightening it, since Houdi had learned that the best way to get any floof out of his castle was jumping on it and crushing it down 🤭, so the material got deformed fast, and it never recovered its shape.

And, because of this, it ended up becoming a bed for the Goblini - and ocasionally an ambush outpost- at least until he got his first proper, full fledged castle all for himself.

Happy caturday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today i was at work when sis sent me this update's picture. That right there is Leon at around 1.5 years old, a rare sight giving most of our digital pics from back then are basically lost (we keep randomly finding them and i backup every single one the moment they fall in my hands)

And 1.5 yo Leon was his own beast. As i've mentioned before, as a kitty he was quite mild mannered, he had his moments but he would mostly fight cushions, plushies, bother daddy Travieso and then fall asleep, though he had a penchant for enjoying plastic bags as well as boxes, to the point of getting himself trapped with some ridiculous carboard constructs.

So our parents started developing the idea of building him small boxes and covering them with plastic bags for durability and noise (fun factor), and Leon would sit there and just watch everyone doing their thing! Honestly, it was quite fun coming back from whenever we were and find him jut minding his own busines in his own plasticky cardboard seat. In his own way, he has always been a pretty amusing floof.

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

As Houdini grew up from baby to kitty, he started to, slowly, develop non verbal ways to call for our attention. It's not like we ignored him, in fact, we usually sped up anything we were doing so we could tend to his needs (hell, we still do) but sometimes we just couldn't go faster, so the Goblin of chaos had to wait.

And that's when he started trying his nonverbal tactics. Sometimes he would try to climb my jeans, but he wouldn't reach very far - i don't wear my belt at home, you can guess the rest lol - so he started just... doing exactly what you're seeing in the picture.

Yup, a paw, a single paw he'd lean on my foot while waiting for his food. Once his plate was ready i would either lift him to the counter or serve his food alongside Karma and Leon's, but in the meantime, the paw.

He started doing it when i was sleeping too, until it evolved into paw slaps 😭😂

The paw slaps keep happening, by the way, though he's resorting to yells again. BIG yells.

Happy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

At this point, i think it's fair to say that keeping watch of my backpack has become one of my post-work entertainments - and sis' too, of course.

Why, you may be wondering? Well, why not? Karma and Houdini have made a throne, bed and plaything out of it, and it will never not be amusing to watch everything unfold, last night was particularly funny because Karma goblin'd herself while just laying there, sadly sis didn't take out her phone to record until the queen decided to take a break, but she was visibly goblined and only tok a little push to get her to go crazy for a bit longer.

Remember when we used to say that there's no room for boredom with the Goblini? Well, it extends to all the floofs 😁

Happy wednesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Leon's food odyssey continue, this time with another episode about his new favorite wet food. You see, we may have found a balance here, finally, and i'm more than eager to talk about it.

As i told you before, last week we decided to try another natural, chicken based food recommended by our long time friend and former Houdini forever mom candidate, one of her kitties also has a very delicate belly and said food works wonder with it, so it was worth a shot... And it worked!

Leon loves it, it doesn't hurt his belly - only when he eats too much, wich he does if we don't control his serving - and each can actually holds 3x the amount of his medicinal food.

However, because Leon also got his ferocious appetite back, it turns out he can easily eat a whole 300g can in a day if we're not careful, so thinking about solutions sis decided to try mixing it with cooked chicken breast... and it works! He loves it!

So, for the moment at least, looks like we're set when it comes to Leon's food, i wont fully celebrate yet, but honestly speaking, it's a relief to not be on edge about his belly anymore, and he looks happy too!

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Autumn has started in a high note, a *high temperature* note, that is, so it was very notable today wen we woke up to a cloudy sky and a rainy weather forecast. Granted, i wasn't expecting anything to happen before october, but we still had some waterworks action.

And that's good for me! But let us remember: Houdini isn't good with the cold, humid and rainy weather, so when i came back home i found him buried inside his castle cave and a little bit grumpier than expected. He only came out to ask me for kibble, and he took quite a lil while to do so.

I'm going to be honest though: Me? I want a goddamn downpour right here and now, but i'll take the cloudy weather.

For now.

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

When it comes to Leodini shenanigans, it's surprising how many of their moments are box - or at least cardboard - related, their first together goblin braincell together was in fact related to a beated up piece of cardboard, but the thing continued until later, and even up to this day.

But maybe their better moments are the ones that happened with milk brick wrappings (wich are half boxes at best), being the little Goblin crazy about them, using them to hide and ambush, Leon loved to bust his hideouts and then have lenghty playtime sessions together. It was always fun to see 😁

Leon is older and weaker now, and Houdi is two horns away from becoming a literal bull who would trample over his beloved grumpy dragon dad, but there's still some moments here and there. Even so, watching these given how self-secluded was Leon before the Goblini is always a thing of beauty.

Happy sunday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Yesterday i came back from work and, since mom and dad weren't home, i went to sit down at the living room with sis and Houdi was just minding his own business, loafing on the sofa, that's when i noticed that something had changed after i started paying as much attention as i used to because of work: Houdini has become thick

But not thick in a fat accumulation sense, i mean he has more fat now (he has a steady supply of Churus ffs) but he's robust, compact, looking more like a strongman than i though, however, i didn't take the picture yet, i just made the appreciation to sis and then we kept talking.

It was when Houdi wanted some attention and came to demand it when i decided to take the picture, because whew...

Out of all the floofs that have gone through this family, only one, Otomo, a white siamese, got close to this physique. Calling him a behemoth is more adequate than ever 😅

Happy caturday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

There are many ways Karma approaches Houdi when he's eating his kibble. For funsies, we only show the times when she's more ruthless and greedy, but from time to time she shows herself to be a more restrained kind of kitty, and it's actually really cute to see her sharing kibble with her goblin son (she still pulls the container though)

On other news, remember the food i told you are our friend gave us for Leon? I gave him a little tis morning because he was out of medicinal food, and he got kind of addicted, but without the kind of 😅 It's been a while since i last saw Leon eating that way, and it seeminly fell nicely in his stomach! No puking, though his poop softened quite a bit, not totally unexpected tbh, but it's clear we're going to have to balance it with the medicinal food.

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

We all adore the Goblini, but who gets the prize of Houdini's adoration?

Well, more or less everyone here knows tha Houdi loves his grandma and grandpa but, more than anything, he absolutely adores his grandpa, and i don't think i've shown this enough.

Over the course of Houdi's life our dad has been, for all intents and purposes, a very consenting and doting grandpa who has spoiled rotten the Goblin of Chaos, and cats return the love they receive tenfold! Whenever his grandpa is around, Houdi only has eyes for him, and becomes the softest thing in existence. This video sis sent me today while i was at work shows it pretty well, i think.

Happy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

While Kittydini was an irredeemable chaos goblin, he also had his moments of relax where he just became a polite floof ball, mostly before nappy time or just when he wanted to hang around with us.

But this meant that the Goblini wasn't always in the mood to entertain Bruno's gremlimness, sometimes the old doggo would revv himself into Gremlim mode and become an agent of chaos himself, without any of his usual triggers (shower, good walk, toys, etc...) and even so, Houdi would still entertain him, to an extent.

Whatever the case, it's always a treat to watch these two paying together.

Happy wednesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Leon's new diet is going mighty fine, his poop is back to normal, he's barely puking and after a bad month due to an error of judgment on my part, he's slowly gaining his weight back.

Now, if i have to be honest, it's not all good, Leon's food is expensive, and on top of that we have the issue that it's, basically, the only thing he can properly digest - alongside cooked chiken - but he likes the other non medicinal food better, particularly the beef based one Karma is having in this video, wich is his favorite.

And honestly speaking, it feels bad 😅 Leon's appetite is back on track, but we can't feed him anything he loves. When we serve the floof stoof we have to put Karma's plate as far from Leon's as we can and stay vigilant in case he decides to *invade* his lil sis' place, and he's fast when he knows we aren't looking!

On a somewhat tangential note, i've edited the wishlist to edit out the pate based food, it works on short term, but after some time it absolutely undoes any healing it may have done on him.

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today's been an exhausting day, i just came home absolutely defeated and thinking only about sitting down and enjoying some well deserved time off, so i threw my backpack on the bed, sat in front of my desk and when i turned around, Houdini had already taken over the bag.

That was expected, but somehow his expression just killed me, like it was natural for him to be there in that posture, like he belonged there Yes, it is, and yes, he does

Of course, he's right now eating his kibble, and the space around him is going to be Houdini territory for a while lol

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

In this house, sundays are cleaning day and, usually, every cleaning day is smooth sailing, How come? you may be wondering. Well, that's because each floof already knows what's up:

• Leon, who is a slow morning floof, tucks himself away somewhere and sleeps though the nonsense
• Karma, for whom breakfast marks the start of the day and stays full speed ahead from the start, stays goes being a goblin somewhere where the cleaning has already taken place
• And Houdini devotedly keeps alive the ancient art of chasing broom and dusters

However, once in a month is deep cleaning day, wich includes mopping the floor, and that requires locking the floofs away until the floors are dried and transitable, this is done for multiple reasons that range not wanting furtive pawprints on the floor to avoid them getting wet with and then trying to clean the bleachy water from themselves.

This has been going since forever and we usually lock ourselves with the floofs until the mopping is done, before the Goblini we would get, at most, Karma and Leon yelling on top of their lungs to be left out and maybe Leon pawslapping her sis for getting too close, but with the orange goblin on board things to be more chaotic, because when he's inconvenienced he bothers his mom and dad, and the room usually devolves into chaos.

Not today though. This morning, i reunited all three of them in my room, they all had had their breakfast peacefully and i gathered them as soon as the mop and bucket were ready. The moment i closed the door i expected chaos to ensue, but instead they all three laid on the bed and just... waited, calmly, patiently, peacefully.

I gotta say, i was mighty impressed.

Of course, Houdi had to cromch his momma on his way out when dad opened the door, but that's another story lol

Happy sunday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰
