Taco Up A Tree

2010-12-01T13:51:00.000-05:00

I know this is way high up because those bulbs around his head are all breakable, put up there on purpose so that he can't get to them.

Ah, Taco.

Bedtime rituals have been interrupted.
Also, when he sleeps, he wants to be as close to you as humanly possible. Last night I was so afraid of crushing him and I barely moved...and barely slept.

The cat toy that keeps on giving. Originally belonging to Pumpkin, Taco seems to have fallen in love. No worries about same-sex love. We're a pretty open-minded household.

I'm pretty sure I told you already that I don't care if these are your clean towels.

It's very important that ones tail does not touch the floor when one is eating. The sharks might get it and that would be DISASTROUS.

Thermometer

2010-03-11T08:47:00.002-05:00

I've been wanting to gush about my latest bit of handiwork - installing a thermometer onto the house so that we can see, from inside, how cold it is outside - and Ari has allowed me to do just that, all the while also gushing about how cute she freaking is.

This window bench was Ari's favorite thing in the entire world up until a few weeks ago when the glue gave way and the velcro came off. I put one of the kitchen stools next to the window hoping to recreate the magic, but Ari scoffed at my ridiculous attempt to trick her into thinking they were even remotely the same thing.

So this morning it occurred to me to put the window bench ONTO the kitchen stool and whalla! Ari is ready to forgive and forget. Or at least, she's ignoring me in a less hostile way than before.

Love you too, sweetie!

The quilt is a raft on the ocean of the couch, and if I let one paw touch the water the sharks will get me, now if you don't mind would you please leave me in peace? This nap isn't going to take itself, you know.

2010-01-21T05:29:00.002-05:00

Somehow, some way, Fiona has managed to ditch her harness. She's ditched it so well in fact that we can't find it. Also, she's developed this predeliction for box-lounging, just like her ancestor, Pumpkin. I guess it skips generations.

2010-01-13T08:41:00.001-05:00

A shoebox, that is. At first I thought she'd somehow start exhibiting Pumpkin's behavior of setting up camp in a box but no. She just wanted to sniff the paper because it was new in her world.

Go crazy tonight and walk across a closet of clothes.

Strange Cat

2009-12-30T09:54:00.000-05:00

Tuesday morning, just as we were about to pull away from the house for our trip to NC, a strange black cat sauntered into the yard.

Since we have two black cats I immediately had a heart attack thinking it Fiona, somehow managing to sneak out of the house. But there's no pink harness. Then I had another heart attack thinking that Trixie had somehow managed to get out of the house, but no. This cat's face wasn't Trixie's face and his eyes were green (Trix's are gold).

The cat continued to sniff around, unconcerned by my dual heart attacks.

Until he got board and left.

I hope you're somewhere warm, strange black cat.

Sticking Close

2009-12-29T10:09:00.000-05:00

That's my pant-leg she's hovering against. It's like she wants to be outside, but but she doesn't like how freaking cold it is.

This was a real sight to behold. Normally, Trixie wants nothing to do with Fiona, so when I walked in and saw them like this I stopped short and immediately took a picture. You know, for posterity and everything.

I think this is a sign that things are improving all the time. Trixie has mellowed in her old age and Fiona is less of a hell-raising attack cat. Nowadays they both sort of just want to sleep. Finally, something in common.
