Everything

Oscar passed out hardcore after dinner last night and inadvertently did a fantastic Baby Yoda impression. Look at those ears! He’s so cute it’s ridiculous anyway, but he really turned it up to eleven with this one. What a perfect little fuzzbutt.

Oscar has been practicing his long-cat poses, which he’s improved by stretching his front paws out while he’s draped over my legs. This was after he’d been watching TV with us while we ate lunch. Fellowship of the Ring was on and he was super interested in the moth that Gandalf grabs on top of

Oscar rarely cooperates when I’m going for a kitten pic, but sometimes the outtakes are better than the shot I was chasing. In this case, I was sprawled in the floor next to the Christmas tree and he lost all interest in the tree. He had to see what I was doing instead, which involved

Today’s episode is more like Kitten vs. Tiny Christmas Tree. We always put up our little dollar store tree somewhere in the house, and the last couple of years it’s been on the dining room table. Oscar found it immediately, pulled it over once, and ignored it… until today. He chomped it and pulled it

The butthorn gene is definitely strong with this one. I decorated the tree last night, and while he was slow to take interest, Oscar has definitely noticed the new temptations. In addition to investigating the ornaments within his reach (the mostly indestructible ones), he’s realized there are lights. Heaven help me if he starts to

So far, so good. The tree is still standing with its lone ornament, probably helped by the liberal dosing of orange spray Brian treated it with yesterday afternoon. Oscar still sits under the tree and snorfles the branches, but hasn’t shown any interest in chewing on it. We’ll see how he does with more ornaments!

I suspect this is going to be a series. We put up the tree yesterday and hung a few sacrificial ornaments to see how big a butthorn Oscar is going to be. So far, he’s at Medium Butthorn levels, but he’s gaining confidence. Stan was a holy terror his first two Christmases, knocking off ornaments

My legs have become prime real estate now that the weather has gotten colder. Stan usually hogs them when I’m in the recliner, but Oscar managed to snag a snug this afternoon while we were enjoying lunch. He was doing his best bunny impression and I had to document the extra cuteness. His winter coat

Oscar had a rousing play session around the sewing machine and dining room table this morning, so I flopped in the floor to try for some action shots. I’m pretty happy with this one. Note the milk top just in front of his toes. He stopped his rampage to inspect the sewing machine and then

I caught Oscar in mid-bath with Stan, which I think counts as an action shot because look at this quality blep. Occasionally, he’ll forget what he was doing and blep like that for a couple of minutes. Tiny Oscar bleps always make my day.
