Angel

He's been positively cuddled up to the laptop as I've been blogging just now... I tried to get a picture, but, alas, no. There's a metaphor there somewhere I think - elementary particles, perhaps? - but my brain is in no mood to work it out.

Having been sent multiple versions of the 44 lb cat story, I have to say she doesn't look that big to me - Lucy looks way plumper, actually...

Lucy!

Lucy is a lunatic - have I made that clear? If you say, Hi, Lucy, she keels over and writhes ecstatically... I frequently tell her, Don't fall off the bed (and scooch her toward the middle). Today she was on the dining room table when I arrived with the laptop. I gave her a pet and then looked at BuzzFlash - and Lucy proceeded to fall off the table! Well, actually, she saved herself with one paw, which worries me about her little shoulder joint. I cuddled her for a way long time - she purred insanely - but I am still in shock. Lucy! Never do that again!

Apologizing For The Not So Great Pics

I needed to clear out the camera so I could at least try to take better ones...

House Blogging

Three (I think) years ago it was the roof. Now it's the porch. But if I have to get a loan for a new porch, it might as well be a closed in one - for the babes to enjoy, of course...

Cyrrie

Oh, I love that little guy so much! What brings this on? It was yesterday morning, and I was in the bathroom doing make-up and so forth, when Cloud arrived to drink the new water/good water out of the bathtub... I had actually been stalking her all am, knowing that she needed a face wash, which I also know she hates.... so as she exited the bathtub I scooped her up, sat on the toilet lid, and cleaned her eyes while she, literally, screamed. I mean. As if. Chrping would have been welcome, but she was carrying on like murder was being committed. And then what happened? Cyrrie literally came galloping into the bathroom - his eyes were HUGE - and he planted his paws on my knees to say you'd better not be hurting my sister! Cloud, I am sorry to say, was not grateful. (She actually hissed at him.) I walked her around until it was safe to let her go, and then went looking for Cyrrie, to tell him how much I love his sweet little loyal self..... Oh, he is a chivalrous little person!

A Different Traffic Jam

A restaurant, in fact, and a delightful movie - Divorce, Italian Style - which I had never seen... So I am finally home, FFing the guys (that sounds aweful, doesn't it?), taking out the garbage, and heading for bed - Mz C was way chirpy this am, but I'll tell y'all on the manan~a...

Traffic Jam

Early this am, as I was trying to get ready for work, Petunnia and Cloud and I were all trapped in the bathroom, by... Angel! You knew that was coming, right? And in the hallway, waiting to come in, were Banshee the Beautiful and La Luz. Angel was sprawled across the threshold, oh so casually, talk about passive-aggressive. 'Toonya was waiting patiently, but Cloud was visibly starting to lose it - I could just see/foresee her leaping over Petunnia and landing on the Angel with disastrous consequences. I acutally caught her in mid-launch, and, oh dear, was she ever chirping-mad. I walked her around for a while before finally releasing her onto the dining room table top. (His fun spoiled, Angel departed the doorway, and traffic proceeded normally.)

Day Off Blogging

First I took a bunch of bad cat and "kitten" pics, then I took some of flowers and tomatoes, then I took a video of Miss (Ms?) Cloud's tres spoiled birdz - and then the batteries went kaput! The story of my life...

I did give them a cardboard box - AreToo, Angel and Petunnia have all dutifully spent time in it - I'm probably going to have to fine the others for un-catlike behavior....

Lucy needs to be combed, but I need at least 2 more hands - so often, dealing with cats and "kittens" do I wish I were a many armed Hindu goddess.....

This Morning's Constant Companion

Cloud met me in the bathroom, and made sure I knew the yellow plastic water bowl we keep in the bathtub was rolling around empty. Cyrrie showed up when we refilled the crunchies bowls, gobbling both crunchies and thumb. Lucy got boosted onto the dining room table again. Petunnia was snoozing in the computer room, Buddy and Banshee were at least briefly sighted, and Angel was again a no-show. But AreToo was everywhere! Kitchen, bathroom, hallway, bedroom, dining room, living room - everywhere his human was, he was, too. And when she went in and out and in and out, watering the porch plants and feeding the birds, he perched on the arm of the couch closest to the vestibule door, so that everytime she came back in, his cheerful little face was there to greet her...

Rap Sheet Update

Cloud, Petunnia, Cloud again, Lucy, Buddy - the Angel earned his crunchies this morning, alright. (And kisses, but you knew that, of course.)

For Sandy!

Thank you for giving me an idea - I have been, in the words of LOLCats, totally: I cannot brain today - I have the dumb... (Although I have to say the guys were not pleased when I rattled the dishes and then took pictures prior to the distribution of the FancyFeast!)

Petunnia Appraising New Saucer

Therapy Blogging

First cat or "kitten" sighting of the day - Petunnia, on a pillow at the foot of the bed. So of course you stop to give her a kiss and some pets, and of course she has to wash your paw in return. And wash it. And wash it. That coffee you need so badly? That allergy pill? That trip to the bathroom, for goodness sake? All must wait until 'Toonya is finished loving you up...

Second sighting - AreToo - he meets you at the bedroom door, acutely anxious that you follow him to the kitchen immediately and top up the so not empty bowls of crunchies. Then he follows you to the bathroom to supervise as you scrub your teeth...

Third sighting - Lucy. By now you are sitting at the dining room table, coffee cup in hand, listening to Stephanie Miller and reading The New Yorker (that very issue). Lucy is at your feet perplexed, because the very chair that you leave pulled out for the older and/or plumper ones to reach the table top is the one you're sitting in. So you pick Lucy up, which is much harder than it sounds, and after a cuddle on your lap she finishes her ascent and sprawls out beside you, flicking her lovely tail at your coffee...

Fourth sighting - Banshee the Beautiful - who manages to look both beautiful and scruffy, and you just manage to get in a few licks of the comb before she leaves in disgust. (Lucy takes vicarious pleasure in Banshee being combed...)

Fifth sighting - Cyrrie. He checks out all of the crunchies bowls, just in case one has magically transformed itself into FancyFeast (always hopeful, our Cyrrie), then he gobbles your thumb. Gobble! Gobble! (It means he loves you so much...)

Sixth sighting - Cloud drifts in and lands on the table, light has her name. Her beautiful eyes are all gunky, and of course you insist on cleaning them, which she hates, but she nibbles your fingers anyway, which means she didn't stay mad...

But by now you've been up more than an hour, and are missing some little faces - where is Buddy? Where is Angel? Buddy it turns out is on the landing of the attic stairs - he gives you a look at says, I'm all comfy right now, thank you very much...

But Angel remains missing. Angel! Angel, you call. You say to AreToo, Find Angel! Find your brother, and AreToo looks you right in the eye and sings his little yawn... Much later you hear a thump in the hallway: Angel and Aretoo are having a wrastle. It's cute, sort of. They seem to be having a good time, no one hissing or growling, but. But it also makes you uncomfortable, all that head-kicking and so on. Then Cyrrie arrives, and he and AreToo corner the Angel. You swoop. It's all hugs and kisses for the missing Angel, who's embarrassed and indignant and just wants to get back to the fun... Boyz.

A good morning all in all.

Re-Post

When I said earlier, Is Lucy worried? I really had no answer, but (my hero) Poe has nailed it! Of course Lucy is worrying, Don't let John McBush get elected president! she sez, Can I register to vote? I'm sorry, Sweetheart, sez her human, you're too young to vote! (not wanting to explain how speciesist our country actually is). Don't worry, Lucy, we are going to win!!

Last Night

Human was reading in bed when 'Toonya joined her. The big pillow was available, but did Petunnia avail herself? No, she wanted the lap and the human couldn't convince her otherwise. So as Petunnia kneaded and shifted and settled into the human's lap, Angel showed, took the pillow and fell asleep. Told you so, said the unsympathetic human, and later on 'Toonya had to sleep at the foot of the bed...

Watchin' Out For Us

AreToo and Cyrrie were in the window well just now staring intently into the darkness. Curious, the human went to see what was so interesting, and there, in the distance, was lightning, and now the rains are here bangin' away on the awning...
