We were all extra tired yesterday from staying up too late listening to the storms pound on our house. Oscar isn’t used to hail of that magnitude, so he’s been extra snuggy, as you can see in this post-dinner pic. He was even ridge-backed in his sleep, and look at those crossed paws! I am […]

CPotD #085: New Tenant
I walked into the bedroom yesterday, saw this, and immediately turned around to get my phone for photographic proof. I’ve never seen Stanley in the Wolfie bed, but he’s apparently decided he likes it. Look at that smug panther. His butt hangs over the edge, but hey: he sort of fits, so he sort of […]
CPotD #083: A Little Weird
Stanley has a lot of quirks that make him the lovable house panther he is, but his latest one cracks me up. He likes to sit in Brian’s spot on the love seat and dangle his paws in the cup holder. He only does this on Brian’s side, even when mine is empty. I’m not […]
CPotD #082: Perimeter Station
Much like his black and white predecessor, Wolfie, Oscar likes to keep an eye on our perimeter. Brian got out Wolfie’s old bed while reorganizing our home office the other day and we decided to put it near the bedroom window to see if Oscar would enjoy it. He does. He uses it as a […]
CPotD #081: Laundry Inspector
Most cats love to lay on warm laundry, but Stanley has made a career of it. He is our household laundry inspector and he takes his job quite seriously. This picture shows him loafing on the bedspread with a warm sunbeam shining in behind him. What you can’t see is the underwear he’s parked his […]
CPotD #080: Coffee Sits
Almost every morning, Nutterbutter joins me on the love seat while I drink my coffee. Udo usually does too, flopped on my feet if I have them down. We call this time Coffee Sits and I think all of us enjoy it. We had a cold front blow through, so this morning’s sits were especially […]
CPotD #078: Stan’s Spot
One of Stan’s go-to spots is the little blanket Brian made for him a couple of years ago. When he’s not sleeping on my feet or in the recliner, he’s usually on his blanket. He loves that thing. He has to curl up a bit to fit on it now that he’s fully grown, which […]
CPotD #077: Spot Change
Nutterbutter goes through phases with his sleeping spots, just like most cats. The weather is often a factor, and seeing as how we woke up to snow this morning (seriously, what month is this) he’s opted for the good Korean blanket in the guest room. He’s quite pleased about it, too. He’s getting a bit […]
CPotD #076: Nurse and Guardian
I’ve come down with a case of sinus crud and am feeling like hot garbage, so Stanley has engaged double Nurse and Guardian modes to help me feel better. He protects me from cooties, dogs, and kittens. It’s super effective, too. Udo won’t even mess with him when he’s in this mode, so the cooties […]
CPotD #074: Bonded
Oscar and Stanley tend to wrestle so much that sometimes I forget they’re bonded. Then I walk and and see stuff like this. Such love, such snuggles. They make my heart happy.
