Mixie and Kemi

Mixie the cat and Kemi the monkey are becoming good friends. I wouldn't say they enjoy each other's company, but tolerate it well. They share breakfast together: Mixie laps up the milk while Kemi picks out the soggy cornflakes from Asher's leftover cereal. Sometimes Kemi can't stand it that Mixie is eating cat food and she doesn't have anything, so Kemi'll load her mouth with a few pieces, but spit them out later.

Mixie doesn't mind having Kemi invade her afternoon naps anymore...only when Kemi moves around too much. In this picture, Kemi is sucking her big toe and holding her foot to her mouth with her hand.

We have found a home for Kemi and Mixie for when we are gone on furlough. Peace Corps Dimako Barry is going to keep them! His landlord has kept monkeys before and is excited to have another one.
