Oscar and Stan have taken to sleeping with us more since the weather turned colder. The cats and I were so crashed this morning that Brian was able to take a flash photo without waking any of us up. Stan was curled between my feet and Oscar managed to snug Stan while draping over me […]

Overload on cuteness with pictures of various creatures from the Citadel!
KPotD #326: Bottle Cap Thief
This is the face of a murderous little thief who steals every bottle cap I put down almost the second I put it down. He had just knocked it in the floor and was gathering energy for the final thunderous kill when I managed to attract his attention for a picture. Look at that face, […]
KPotD #325: Modified Loaf
Oscar is still working on his loaf pose, but I think his form has come a long way. He executed a solid Modified Bed Loaf this morning. Note the tucked-in paws; those are quite important for a formal loaf, even in the modified (leaning) position. I’m pretty sure the judges would score that well. Our […]
KPotD #324: Whiskers
Oscar has always had prominent whiskers, but they’re really coming into their own as he grows. His eye whiskers are especially long and luxurious. If a feline version of Maybelline existed, I’m pretty sure Oscar would be their cover kitten.
KPotD #323: Christmas Pecan
Oscar was not inclined to cooperate in today’s photo shoot. I had flopped in the floor by the tree to try for more “vs.” shots, and his reaction was to head boop me and wander off. I decided to fix the tree skirt before getting up and what did I find? His favorite pecan. That […]
KPotD #322: Stretchy Sleep
Oscar only has two sleep positions: Pillbug and Stretch Armstrong. Today’s shot is him demonstrating the latter during a lunch snug. Even Udo is amazed at how long this kitten can get. He’s coming up on a year old now, so I don’t think he’ll get much longer, but dang. He looks so small until […]
KPotD #321: The Watchman
Because he was raised by Udo, Stan basically thinks he’s a dog. He patrols the perimeter, keeps watch on the neighborhood, and guards all of us. I’ve mentioned before how he growls when someone approaches the house. Being the awesome cat that he is, he also guards his little brother. Oscar took a brief break […]
KPotD #320: Chore Kitten
Oscar has been helping with the chores, as he does every Saturday, and is apparently worn out by the drudgery of it all. He looks pretty happy to be taking this nap, though. Christmas-time naps are best naps. And speaking of Christmas, we got his tree ornament today. We got an ornament for Udo from […]
KPotD #319: Kitten vs. Christmas Tree, Episode 6
Here we have Oscar using the tree skirt as a base of operations to execute ambush attacks on Stan. It was super effective. Meanwhile, helpful dog is helpful. Udo likes to assist me with whatever I happen to be doing in the floor, whether it’s wrapping gifts, doing crunches, or taking kitten pics. He’s the […]

KPotD #318: Kitten vs. Christmas Tree, Episode 5
Oscar is doing better than I’d hoped with the Christmas tree. He mostly leaves it alone, just perpetrating the odd drive-by ornament batting. He was under it this morning doing exactly that, so I flopped for some action shots. I think he looks extra cute lurking in a sunbeam to assault unsuspecting ornaments, but I […]
