Stanley goes through phases regarding his favorite spots to sleep. Sometimes the rooms change and sometimes the medium changes. Lately, he’s been infatuated with the bench for the dining room table. Despite its many battle scars from altercations with Oscar, the bench makes a comfortable nap spot. It also serves as a partial fort since […]

CPotD #141: Floor Hound
Udo likes to help me take pictures of Oscar, especially when I’m in the floor getting closeups. He wasn’t expecting me to turn around and snap one of him. His surprised face is crazy cute, which is yet another reason he gets so many hugs on the daily.
CPotD #140: Talk to the Toe
Oscar managed to steal the dog’s favorite rope toy and the sun patch this morning. He was obviously feeling imperious. Instead of a ring, he offers you his spotted toe to kiss. As you can see from the claw peeking out, doing so could be hazardous. I prefer to kiss his fuzzy little forehead.
CPotD #139: Growth Spurt
Uh-oh, looks like someone is starting to outgrow his little wooden bed. Note the portion of booty hanging out the door. Not to worry, though! Oscar already kicks Udo out of his dog bed on the regular, and I’m pretty sure he isn’t going to outgrow that one. Fortunately, Udo is happy to share.
CPotD #138: Happy Outtake
The zoomed-out shots of yesterday’s laundry blockade didn’t do justice to Stanley’s state of mind, so I went in for closeups. Look at that happy face. He was head-snugged into one of my pillows and Oscar, happily zonked out. He didn’t even twitch a whisker at me hovering around with the camera, which is unusual […]
CPotD #137: Laundry Blockade
I walked into the bedroom to fold laundry this afternoon and was met with a blockade in my usual folding spot. Oscar woke up as I was taking the picture, of course, but it’s still sweet. Just ignore his “are you kidding me, ma?” expression. They were disinclined to move, but I don’t mind folding […]
CPotD #136: Little Leopard
I’ve said for months that Oscar is part snow leopard because he also loves to pursue and chomp on his own tail. Just google “snow leopard tail nom” and you’ll see what I mean. He may only have one spot (on his cute little toe), but he is a champion tail nommer.
CPotD #135: Guilt Trip
I had to run an errand this morning and, as always, Udo was completely beside himself when I came back. He calmed down after some love and crunchies, which is when he always busts out this face. I was gone for an hour, but you’d think I left him to fend for himself all summer. […]
CPotD #134: The Emperor’s New Groom
As some of you may know, Nutterbutter hates to be brushed, which is problematic seeing as how he’s old and exceedingly fluffy. However, we’ve found a solution: grooming gloves! He was suspicious at first, but once he realized he was just getting pets and his fur was softer, they were a huge hit. Here he […]
CPotD #133: Hunting Brothers
The local robins must have been extra mouthy this morning, because Stanley and Oscar were tail-lashingly annoyed at their presence. I suspect a vocal turf war was going on out of my hearing range. This show of feline solidarity later devolved into a scuffle over the morning sun patch, but it was nice while it […]
