Cats

I sat with Brian while he rampaged through World of Warcraft for a bit this evening, and Oscar decided to join us. He ended up staying for quite a while through various stages of boneless. He continues to be an affectionate heart popper in addition to the normal murderous kitten he should be at this…

Oscar is feeling snuggy today, so he decided to curl up with me as I settled down to watch Brian stream this afternoon. It was a short-lived snug because he heard Stan terraforming a new cardboard box and he had to go investigate. Stan hopped out, they scrapped for a minute, and then Stan hopped…

I’m under the weather again (stupid stomach bug), so I slumped in my chair this evening while dinner baked and Brian hit up some Beat Saber. Oscar, being a cat, was very happy to steal Brian’s chair during this interlude. He’s growing more independent by the day, but he still stays near when I’m not…

I got a lot done this morning, which unfortunately meant leaving the house several times. Oscar was not okay with this. I sat down to text Brian after the third trip and my lap was instantly occupied. He refused to move for over an hour. Good thing I didn’t need to go anywhere else! He…

Doing weighted calf raises with a kitten winding around your ankles is a challenge. Oscar has figured out that this isn’t optimal (because I don’t stop and pet him), so his workout support routine is now to nap in my chair. Obviously I can’t move him when he’s being this cute, so I rest on…

Oscario is really sharing the love lately. He abandoned me for the recliner to snug Stan after dinner tonight. Stan bailed immediately after I took this picture, so I’m glad Brian noticed them like that before one of them moved. Oscar is now doing his flattened dog toy impression in the chair since he has…

So this happened and it’s so cute I can’t even process it correctly. Oscar has been spending more time around Nutter, who generally doesn’t care, but the snugs have been tentative until… this. I’m thrilled to see how well they’re hanging out now. Earlier today, Nutter came into my office to casually sharpen his claws…

Oscario reached a new level of boneless during post-dinner lap snugs. Just look at this little nugget. We should have named him Abandon, because that’s how he does everything. Actually, that should be his middle name. His full name should be Utter Abandon Landis. Now that’s a fine pedigree name.

I finally felt well enough to tackle the housework today, so the fuzzy butthorn crew is enjoying the clean rug in the living room. This shot is a bath in progress. Stan had Oscar by the head and was washing his ears. Oscar enjoys this, but it always devolves into a wrestling match within two…

Oscar is still trying to hang out with Udo, and Udo is still trying to keep his distance for safety because Oscar is unpredictable and pointy. They seemed content to share some sunbeam action this afternoon, but Udo was keeping an eye on the little guy just in case. I love walking into a room…
