My gym bros kept me company this morning as they usually do while I lift weights. Oscar and Udo were especially attentive (they love when I do crunches because floor time), but Nutterbutter and Stanley snoozed through it all. As I turned to move from barbell rows to bench press, I saw this in all […]

CPotD #058: Small Might
Now that he’s over a year old, Oscar takes up more of the window sill than he first did. He’s still pretty small for a young adult cat, but he makes up for it with fierceness and heart. He brings me joy every day and I’m glad we have him, even when he’s being a […]
CPotD #057: Bird Watcher
Oscar has pretty much lived in the bedroom window since we opened up for the pre-summer breeze season, and he has become a proficient bird watcher. His prey this morning was a pair of robins. He was stalking them with all his might while they gathered nesting materials and ignored his existence. Luckily for them, […]
CPotD #056: Power Mlem
Stanley was bathing on his box this morning and being monstrously cute, so of course I horned in to get a photo. He was not amused. I, however, was greatly amused. That is an epic power mlem.
CPotD #055: Smug Support
Stanley decided to make himself a nest on the guest bed while I worked out this morning. He was very pleased with himself and his new spot. And I was quite happy to have him nearby. A smug gym bro is better than no gym bro.
CPotD #054: Lazy Sunday
It’s a cool, cloudy Sunday here. We’re doing our civil duty by not going anywhere and our healthy duty by not doing anything. Nutterbutter is helping by showing off his well-practiced laziness technique in the heated bed. He and Oscar spend a lot of time in that bed, but Stanley rarely touches it. I suspect […]
CPotD #053: Waiting
It’s chore day, and one of the chores we do on the weekends is laundry. Much like I did when I was a kid, Udo finds laundry absolutely dead boring. He was waiting impatiently in the doorway as I folded clothes because he was ready to play. Stan was keeping him company because he was […]
CPotD #052: Sentry Duty
Udo is not a fan of me working out. I think he’s afraid I’ll hurt myself (and he’d rather I pay attention to him), so he goes to lay by the bedroom window and keep an eye on the front yard. He likes to rest his face on the window sill for maximum view with […]
CPotD #051: Storm Kitten
We had a stormy morning complete with Walmart adventures and lightning-induced power outages, and Oscar was on hand to monitor the situation on the home front. He’s not a fan of lightning or thunder, but that doesn’t stop him from keeping an eye on things. He’s a diligent protector like his big brothers.
CPotD #050: Gym Bros
We’re following the social distancing protocol these days, which includes working out at home. I’m grateful to have equipment that allows me to do so, and I’m also grateful for my gym bros. They’re so helpful and observant. Fuzzy moral support is best moral support.
