We had a visit from some plumbers this morning because the piping under our kitchen sink decided to fail spectacularly Friday night. They did a great job, but Nutter had to inspect the work. Nutter approves since it means he can once again get water bites, which are very important to his old grumpy self. […]

CPotD #012: Stanley Stinkeye
Stan often likes to offer moral support while I’m lifting weights, and Friday was no different. He stays through the entire session, but he does get grumpy if I make too much noise clanking the plates. This quality stinkeye was accompanied by the washing of the Wha-TAH Paw, so it’s extra good. He’s the best […]
CPotD #010: Couch Time
We donated blood last night and were gone for a while, so Oscar was happy to claim my lap the minute I flopped on the couch to recover. Picard and pizza also helped round out a nice evening. He’s such a great little nurse. Stan has trained him well!
CPotD #009: Excuse Me
I was petting Oscar in the bedroom this morning and turned to find Stan blocking the door. This is his “excuse me” face. He was wondering when I would return to my chair so he could lay across my feet. I did so immediately and all was well, but still. That face.
CPotD #008: First Snow
We’ve been under a winter storm warning today and have actually seen a fair amount of snow for our area. Oscar hadn’t seen snow before, so he was entranced by the big flakes falling outside the window. Meanwhile, Udo has seen snow before and is completely thrilled with the state of his yard. He’s done […]
CPotD #007: His Highness
Like most cats, His Royal Highness Stanley the Magnificent, King Wha-TAH-La, Ruler of the Seven Rooms appreciates high places. I turned from putting away dishes this morning to find him surveying his kingdom from the top of the fridge. That’s 20 pounds of regal benevolence, right there. A lesser feline would have knocked off my […]
CPotD #005: The Dinner Snug
Oscar is a cyclical creature, and much to my delight he’s returned to engaging in dinner snugs lately. Look at those feet! He stayed like that through dinner and the entire movie we were watching. Whatever else he is, you can’t say he’s not a well-rested cat.
CPotD #004: The Slammer
Occasionally, Stan likes to jump into the laundry basket and imprison himself while I’m folding clothes. I had almost managed to finish this load when he hopped in to nest upon Brian’s gym shorts.
CPotD #003: No Dignity
I just had to say something about Stan occasionally displaying a lack of dignity. His latest pose is something to behold. I’m not sure how this happened, if he hoisted his back foot over Oscar or if Oscar wormed his way underneath while they were bathing, but yeah. This daffy looking snug is the result. […]
CPotD #002: Dignity
The cats missed us while we were at the gym last night and decided to bestow an epic post-dinner snug upon me. While Stan is a regal beast who displays a stunning lack of dignity upon occasion, Oscar just never bothered to develop any. He’s either all affection or all murder. There’s just no room […]
