Between work, more work, and a workout, it’s been a very long day for everyone at our house. As such, this post is about to be short. A micro-post, even. Enjoy two slightly fuzzy pictures from this evening. And now we’re all going to bed. Happy Wednesday!

KPotD #36: Water Bites
Nutter has always been a bit weird about water. When he was young, he sat in the sink a lot (still does occasionally) and even got in the shower when it was running if I left the door open wide enough. He’s less inclined to get completely soaked now, but he still loves to play […]
KPotD #35: A Bigger Boat
Things are progressing well on the snuggles front. Oscar has snugged up with both Nutter and Stan now, and he’s even started hanging out closer to Udo. We predict snugs there too if Udo will let him, but the dog is understandably paranoid. Stan trained him well to beware a kitten sniffing his toe floof […]
KPotD #34: Milk Tops
Nutter had a penchant for milk tops when he was younger. He liked the hard caps, but his favorite were those soft plastic seals that you pull off under the twisty lid. We found hundreds of them when we were moving to Second Place. He stole them and stashed them under every piece of furniture […]
KPotD #33: Nazgûl
As he’s grown over the past month, Oscar has displayed a unique trait among my feline housemates past and present. He has the loudest sniff I have ever heard from a cat, let alone a kitten. It’s loudest when he’s looking for food, and it is impressive. Think of the scene from Fellowship of the […]
KPotD #32: It’s Friyay!
It’s been a hectic week with quite a bit of stress, but I’m happy to report that Stan seems to be feeling much better this evening. I’ve said for years that Brian has regenerative abilities, and I was right. Behold, the happier Stan after several hours of dad snugs. Meanwhile, Oscar has been in full […]
KPotD #31: Workday Blues
Today was a heavy work day for me, so none of us got a whole lot of steps in. Stan is still recovering from the plague and spending every possible second draped across my legs, Udo is keeping a watchful eye on Stan, and Oscar… well, he’s busy growing, which requires a lot of sleep. […]
KPotD #30: A Month of Oscar
Here we are a whole 30 days after adopting our little tornado of beans and whiskers. He’s changed quite a bit, gaining size, energy, and confidence. Like Stan, he has little sense of self preservation, but he’s become quite good at avoiding Udo’s giant feet. He’s also become quite good at stealing our seats. Here […]
KPotD #29: Rampage
Our house has become a tiny war zone. Oscar gallops through each room on his surprisingly loud kitten feet, punching everything he passes. Sometimes it’s a toy, sometimes it’s the dog, and sometimes it’s us. Lately he likes to swirl into a room like the Tasmanian Devil and stop right on top of my feet […]
KPotD #28: Work Buddies
Today was busy on the work front, but I had two dedicated assistants to get through it all. Oscar took up residence on the back of the love seat to kick me in the head periodically, while Stan made sure he and I were both warm enough. We got a lot done. Stan is still […]
