More Angel

A little while ago the human dropped an ice-cube on the kitchen floor - rinsing it off, she dropped it into the water bowl that sits next to the fountain. Angel is on it immediately, standing right in the bowl to investigate the unidentified-floating-object. Eventually he manages to get it out of the bowl, so he can play ice soccer for a bit. When the human picks him up, his paws are sodden...

Angel Blogging

Last Night
When the suddenly hot human turned on the ceiling fan, Angel, on the bed, acted as if he'd never seen it before. First he cranked his head back so far he was all chin, neck, shoulders and chest. Then his head started to rotate, first one way, then the other. Then he rose up on his back legs and way stretched up one paw. Then he started over. The only thing he didn't do was jump, which was probably just as well. This went on for many minutes, and might have gone on longer, but the hot human got cold and turned the fan back off.
This Morning
The human dropped one of those hanger-clothespin thingies in the bathtub, and then forgot to pick it up. A little while later there was a clatter in the bathtub, and Angel-Mighty-Hunter emerged from behind the shower curtain with the thingy in his mouth. He was clearly delighted with himself, and when the human went to retrieve the thingy, he ran down the hall and up the attic stairs...
Now
A little while ago the human was hot and took off her robe. Now cold again, she finds Angel is napping on her robe. Since disturbing him in any way whatsoever is totally out of the question, she finds a sweater to wear instead.

What's In The Fireplace, Angel?

It's either 1) another hallucination, or, 2) another thwarting of the photographer by media shy cats and "kittens"...

Cheered myself up a bit by posting new pics - now going to go cuddle multiple cats and "kittens"...

Blue Jay!

Just before I left for work, there was this screeching sound somewhere outside. Then I noticed Cloud and AreToo in the dining room window, just mesmerized by something - so much so that Cloud was not even objecting to the Droid's existence. When I came up behind them, I was amazed to see the brilliant blue and white and black of a small blue jay who was visiting our bird feeder. It has been years since I've seen a blue jay - I do so hope they're coming back from the west nile virus thing. (Of course the camera batteries were in the recharger.)

After 20 or so minutes of combing, with lots of fur deposited into the waste-paper basket, how come 5 minutes later when I pet her I come away with a hand covered in fur...

Angel Awake

There was another Angel/Cloud kerfluffle this morning - after the human intervened, Angel withdrew to the attic rather than be "scolded". When he thought all-was-surely-forgiven-by-now (about 5 minutes, maybe), he reappeared, only to be chased down by his human and "scolded" anyway. Human swears there was a chuckling undertone in his purring...

Sandy - if you can - please leave a comment - 'cause I'm worried about you - and, of course, 300,000 other people - but you and an adjunct Mg faculty member are personal (Terry Pratchett reference but not intended as humor)...

Help! Human Overdosed On Sweet

This morning as I gradually tracked down and examined all 922 cats and "kittens", Angel was one of the last ones to be counted - he was sleeping on my pillow! He was sound asleep as I kissed his warm little tummy, all of his paws, the tip of his tail and then his little chin - breathing in his sweet kitten breath. Finally, still sound asleep, he started to purr...
