Justice vs Pragmatism

On the disposition of Fancy Feast:
A very large portion goes - first, of course - to the land-sharks, aka kittens. This is in order to allow the senior (and semi-senior) cats a reasonable amount of time in which to consume a reasonable portion (sometime it even works).
The senior cats do not seem to be aware of the discrepancy... YET!

No Editing

Smug kitten amid wreckage of "new" couch, just another one of their toys...

Wanted poster: Note fluffy grey tail sans stripes... 

Circumstantial Evidence

Yet another bowl of crunchies nuked -
Fluffy grey tail, sans stripes, seen disappearing down basement stairs...

Environmental Issue

Human vows to put an end to water-spilling -
To be continued...

Predator and prey... 

The Art of Water-Spilling, Or, The Thwarter Thwarted...

Ethical Dilemma

What's a human to do? When she picks up a kitten for a quick hug and kiss, and said kitten falls instantly asleep, purring in utmost contentment... You couldn't wake her up, could you?

Does anyone remember the first (double) episode of ST Next Generation?? 

Lamp Story

Crash!
When kittens nuked the lovely art deco era lamp in the living room, the human wisely replaced it with an inexpensive (i.e., probably made by slave labor) import...
It also helps that it is made out of metal.
Kittens say, Time to when in doubt wash...!

Also... 

All tired out... 

Quiet Time

All senior cats plus human lounged around the living room, watched kittens race, wrestle, rumpus and, finally, snooze...

Another New Name For Cloud

You probably have to go back to the original Barrie for this, but -
She ids w/ --- Tink!
Think it through, it really works...!!

Fresh Air!

It's a rather nice early Spring day, and 922 cats are taking turns sitting in the bedroom window - Buddy has had his turn, Banshee is there now, with Cloud, Cyrrie, Petunnia and Lucy waiting patiently... True!

Are We Growing Up?

"Big" kitten Cyrano* seems to think he's too big to continue to share a food bowl with "little" sister Cloud** - mind you, the food bowl in question is a long oval serving dish (actually an antique ceramic with a rather nice white glaze)...

*As opposed to "Senior" kitten...
**Little in size only....

Baby pic / Guess who? 

Are you surprised? Human relents - bubbles, octopi (more on that later), Fancy Feast, catnip... They ARE cute. (And senior cat beneficiaries say, Well, sort of.) 

No More Bubbles For Kittens Tonight

Cyrano, mountain climbing in computer room/library, causes avalanche of... books! To Cyrrie's horror, human actually says, "N*!"
Shortly thereafter, water enthusiast (water obsessive?), Cloud, investigates washing-machine. Human intervenes, says, "N*!" For once, senior cats sympathize: The "n" word! The horror, the horror...!!

New News

Our human bought us lots of cool new toys. They're called bubbles, and we really really like them...
(They don't seem to last very long, but then again we can't seem to catch that little red light, either...)

In the end, Cyrrie snubs old friends in favor of glamorous mollusc! 

Trying to decide... 

The Magic Number

Very tired human comes home very late to cat-count -
1,2,3,4,5...
And 922 cats - including kittens - celebrate Spring by feasting on... Fancy Feast!
Kittens say, we could get to like this equinox thing!

It's Spring!

Kittens want to know, How should we celebrate the First Day of Spring?
Cyrrie: Knock over plants?
Cloud: Spill something?
Senior cats say, How about the same way we celebrated the Last Day of Winter? (Take extra naps...)

Especially for Emrah

Proof!
Kitten actually playing with cat toy, as opposed to crinkly/crunchy throwaways, human's good jewelry, sadly abused house plants, toes, crabby senior cats, etc. (It is a good thing they're cute...) (Senior cats disagree.)

Cyrano one, Octopus zero... 

Gangsta Girl... 

Our New Names

Looking over the list of direct and indirect submissions, we'll take them all!
Cyrano de Purrrrrgerac...
Miss Fluff 'n Stuff and Gangsta (she thinks it sounds cute).
And the official suffix for everybody - Banshee-kins, Petunnia-kins, Lucy-kins, Buddy-kins, Cloud(i)-kins and Cyrrie-kins...
(But the human will probably still go, Hey Poppets! etc.)

How Could She?

Our human came home tonight and fed us our dinner on... paper plates!
Granted, they were generically tasteful and sort of minimally not too unattractive, but -
We are used to having our Fancy Feast served on recyclable antique china saucers!
This was just not up to standards.
(We did, however, eat the Fancy Feast...)

Women's History Month

In honor of Jennifer -
Who would have thought that Doris Day and Bridget Bardot had so much in common?

Just because... 

Hey!

Human retrieves favorite pen from Cloud, and asks - Is everything left on the dining room table-top fair game? Kittens respond - Of course not!*

*It's actually anything left anywhere...

So Many Food Bowls, So Little Time

Human tries to fill 922 bowls, while Cyrano races from bowl to bowl, trying to nibble from each...

It's not Spring yet, but Buddy finds a warm spot... 

They Are So Smart

"Artsy" human had bracelets hanging on bedroom wall...
Artsy-crafty kittens discovered new source of toys!

Picture of indignation... 

Was It...

... Payback?
AM: Cloud dashes past Petunnia, who swings (and misses)...
PM: Petunnia strolls past Cloud, who gently taps her side --
Utterly - non-plussed is probably as good a word as any - Petunnia retreats to bathtub to think things over...
What will happen next??

Picture of innocence... 

Cyrrie washing Buddy's head... 

Serious Kitten Neglect (Abuse?)

Little kitten Cyrano was so starved he was reduced to stalking packaged mushrooms and attacking a loaf of french bread!
Sarcastic human rolled her eyes! (We hate it when she does that...)
Sympathy not requested, just send Fancy Feast!!

Sweet And Good

Wow! Junior kitten Cyrrie being unusually demure and respectful of senior cat Petunnia; Petunnia being extraordinarily sweet and good!

922 Paparazzi Shot 

Sleeping Nicely

Petunnia graciously shares human with Cloud.
(Who was there first.)
(But still...)

CSI

Or, Oh no! Not again!!
Cyrano discovered alone in kitchen, with nuked crunchies still raining down and dumped water spreading ominously...
Innocent first witness of crime scene? Guilty perp?? You decide.

Besprinkled! (With... catnip!) 

Cyrano one, carpet zero... 

New Pics!

And little Cyrrie is still sleeping with one eye open, while little Cloud is not...

Newly developed... 

Strange New Species Scanned

It's sort of like a furry jellyfish, but it does have 8 tentacles...
And it's red and white a la the Detroit Red Wings, therefore it's official scientific classification is -- octopus!
The pics of the guys actually (really, really!) playing with it are in the low tech camera....
Which is yet another argument for getting a digital camera very very soon!

Our new toy... 

Toy Story

Hard to believe, but -
Human buys kittens (and cats, of course) a rather expensive ($3.79 + tax) cat toy --
And they actually like it...!

More More Oh Dear

Feline Rights Question:

If Petunnia and Lucy get smacked - somehow or other - and subsequently all 922 cats - and kittens - get their claws clipped - -

Is that collective punishment??

From 922 Bio Files

The lovely Lucy, not unlike that other domestic goddess, Martha Stewart, is actually an ex-con...

I think I look better here, Lucy 

Special Announcement

New Contest!

Epithets* wanted -

For Cloud and Cyrano!

You know, like Princess Petunnia, or Buddy the Bed-Monster, or Lucy aka Lucyfur...

*In the positive sense only, please; alliteration not required.

Cyrrie As Max Second Thoughts

For anyone worrying about Cloud -
(Cloud! Cloud the ringleader, Cloud the mastermind, Cloud "Gives-as-Good-as-She-Gets" -- Cloud!!)
Well, just don't!
(Maybe you should worry about Cyrrie...)
