Oscar is unimpressed with the vacuum cleaner (aka the Hate Machine) and doesn’t mind telling me so with a classic stink eye. I turned around to this face after putting it back in the closet.

CPotD #187: Table Fort
I haven’t put away the gear we took out for our comet-viewing expedition last week. That’s okay, because Stanley has taken the opportunity to turn it into his latest table fort. He looks pretty happy with it. Temporary gear wall plus padded envelopes equals satisfied house panther.
CPotD #186: Just Fluffy Things
I had an interview yesterday and was gone for a couple of hours. I returned to a frantic dog and a trio of indifferent cats. Nutterbutter was unimpressed, as usual.
CPotD #185: Soft and Judgey
Oscar likes to judge us from the counter when we aren’t providing pets in a timely manner. He gets extra judgey when I take pictures instead of providing said pets.
CPotD #184: Bonus Snugs
Strong Independent Kitten graced me with a rare post-dinner snug last night and it made my heart happy. It also made me stay up too late because how could I make him move? In this house, when a cute cat wants to snug, you snug.
CPotD #183: Head Gut
Nutterbutter likes to snug every morning while we have our coffee. He often performs a maneuver we call a “headgut” (rather than headbutt) and it never fails to melt my heart. Not shown is his front leg hugging my hip. Nutter is contrary and grumpy in his old age, but he’s still pretty dang affectionate.
CPotD #182: Brick House
On this episode of Stanley is Weird, we can see his latest spot to relax. He was giving me the stink eye for not providing dinner at his earliest convenience. None of the cats has ever been inclined to lay on the bricks before, so this is definitely a new one. It has been hot […]
CPotD #181: Beautiful Void
Black cats can be difficult to photograph, especially when they’re glossy oil spills like Stanley. Brian got this fantastic shot of him inquiring about the availability of cheese at breakfast. He’s so sleek and inky, like the void personified. I think this is the best picture of him we’ve gotten and I love it.
CPotD #180: Guardian of the Spring
Stanley has had a spring toy since he was a kitten. He doesn’t play with it as often anymore, but he still has one and he’s rather protective of it. If you’re wondering why, it’s because this is his third spring. Udo chewed up the other two in wild fits of derpery and we had […]
CPotD #179: No Trust
Udo gets a pair of little rawhide treats every morning when I sit down to work. When I decided to document it this morning, he thought I was going to take them back. This face says it all. He loves me, but when it comes to treats, he trusts no one.
