Oscar has a morning ritual with Brian. Every day when Brian starts to get ready for work, Oscar leaps onto the washing machine and waits for pets. The longer he waits, the fluffier he gets, but he always gets his morning love-up. As you can see, he’s quite happy about this. Not only does he […]

CPotD #121: Long-Toed Cat
Oscar had weirdly long toes as a kitten, and they’ve grown right along with the rest of him. Brian got a nice shot of them as he was experimenting with the macro settings on his camera. I also have weirdly long toes, so Oscar clearly takes after me. Long-toed cats unite!
CPotD #120: Smug Snug
Stanley likes to take up my entire lap, and sometimes he’s just extra pleased about it. Look at that face. He’s smug because he knows I’m completely smitten with him and won’t get up until I must. I’m owned by a house panther.
CPotD #119: That’s the Look
That’s the look! The look of love! Okay, so not everyone enjoys 80’s song lyrics, but Udo is very good at displaying the look of love. I wasn’t even holding food, but that face is why he gets more rawhide chews than he should. I am powerless against it.
CPotD #118: Mini Pear
Oscar is going through a sleep-on-the-back-of-the-recliner phase, which lets him crash out while still keeping an ear on what we’re doing. He was zonked so hard this afternoon that he looked like a fuzzy little pear. I wish I could sleep that hard. Cat goals, man.
CPotD #117: Laundry Day
Oscar has always loved to help me do the laundry. He hops in the baskets, he hops onto the washer to peer inside, and he hops onto the bed to prevent me from removing or replacing the sheets. He’s an especially big fan of bed-making prevention. His method of prevention is to squeak and fangwipe […]
CPotD #116: House Helper
Saturday is housework day, and none of our brood are particularly fond of the noisy appliances we call Hate Machines. They do enjoy clean floors, though, so they’re always extra happy when the housework is done. Stanley enjoyed a blissful snooze in his hammock after the steam mop went back in the closet. They’re all […]
CPotD #115: Milk Top Box Visit
Oscar was wigging about with his favorite milk top this afternoon and happened to knock it into the latest box fort. He approved of this situation and decided they both needed to stay for a while. Brian was home for lunch and caught the pic, which is perfect. That Godzilla expression, those whiskers… he’s a […]
CPotD #114: Portrait Mode
Stanley was looking pensive and picturesque on his envelopes this morning, so I tried to document. He said no, but how about some kissies? So I got kissies. It’s easy to forget how big he is until he’s bonking you on the forehead.
CPotD #113: Box Boy
Oscar has really taken a liking to Wolfie’s old bed. At this point I’d say he’s claimed it for his own because he spends a lot of time there bird watching and napping. I find him like this often. It’s a tight fit, but I don’t think he’ll outgrow it unless he gets significantly wider. […]
