While he loves to help me eat dinner every night, Oscar tends to fall asleep once the food is gone. This usually happens as shown below, with him snugged up against my shins and oozing off to one side. The cuteness is palpable. Before sitting down to eat I make sure to grab a drink […]
Category: Kitten Pic of the Day
A subset of Critter Pics of the Day, focusing on a year of daily shots when we got a new kitten. Any future new kitties will be added to this category.
KPotD #218: This is Fine
Oscar is a bit pushy when it comes to snugging. He’s interested, so the object of his snuggles must also be interested. Any other possibility doesn’t exist. Stan has come to accept his fate in this arrangement, hence the post title. I think Stan secretly enjoys it, but I’d never tell him so. He can […]
KPotD #217: Smug Kitten
Oscar has many middle names, and one of them is Smug because that’s his default expression when he’s laying on us. For example… Look at that face. He knows he’s in the catbird seat and he’s thoroughly enjoying it.
KPotD #216: Resting
The boys had a busy morning avoiding the vacuum cleaner and following me around as I did other chores, so they had a communal crash this afternoon. Brian was able to take a stealth picture before anyone moved. Nutter was in my lap as this was taken, so it was indeed a group endeavor. Brian […]
KPotD #215: More Love
They were at it again this evening. We’ve had thunder showers and cooler temperatures today, so it was like Round 2 of Snugathon. This time Stan was using Oscar as a pillow, which is pretty unusual. I think our hopes for winter cuddle puddles are in the bag, folks. Now we just need to progress […]
KPotD #214: Such Love
Our entire crew was super snuggy today, both with me and each other. Maybe they can feel the weather turning and are getting ready for Autumn snugs. I’m very good with this. In the meantime, observe a first-rate cuddle puddle. It’s a wonder I get anything done around the house because I have to stop […]
KPotD #213: Afternoon Brothers
The boys decided to hang out together in Brian’s chair this afternoon as I was finishing up work. I couldn’t resist trying for a snuggle shot, darkness notwithstanding. Looking at that picture, you’d never think a wrestling match was imminent, but that’s how we roll in this house. Snugs to slaps in seconds flat.
KPotD #212: Return of Dinner Snugs
I’m happy to report that Oscar has resumed the dinner/post-dinner snug habit, and he’s resumed it with gusto. Look at this. I can’t move when he does this, so I was trapped for a couple of hours. I’m hoping it happens again. If it does, please send Coke Zero and chocolate.
KPotD #211: Temple Acolyte
Oscar is getting better about assisting me in the Iron Temple. This morning he wound around my ankles once during squats as if to say, “I’m here for ya, ma,” and then went to sleep on the bed. This arrangement is pretty ideal because I get a cute support system without having to stop and […]
KPotD #210: Surprise Company
We got a nice bit of gaming in today, and Nutter was next to me for most of the session. Imagine my surprise when I looked over and found this. Normally, I’ll have one or the other nearby to keep an eye on me, but these chair-sharing episodes are still fairly rare. Is it an […]
