Cute

Well, he’s hit new heights of utter abandon in his sleeping positions. Tonight, I present to you the headless kitten. He slept like this for most of the evening and seemed quite happy to do so. Petting him only produced happy squeaks and stretches. In the end, I had to slither out from under him…

Oscar kept me company as I did some work at my desk this morning. I’m sure it’s because he loves me and not because a pair of squirrels was running back and forth along the fence. Okay, it was probably both. He’s an affectionate kitten, but he’s still got to flex his prey watching skills…

Oscar manned his usual spot during dinner tonight and was keeping an eye on Brian to make sure he didn’t need any help finishing up. He’s such a helpful little guy, and so cute! We couldn’t love him more if we tried.

Oscar is a master of comfort, able to relax in any location and nearly any position. Today’s example is one of his common sleeping spots, the top of the recliner. Whenever I walk in to find him sleeping, I have to stop and marvel at the many new and interesting ways in which he arranges…

Today’s snug is a continuation from yesterday. After we woke him up taking pictures of the turbo blep, he pulled a big stretch-and-sprawl and went back to sleep. He often kicks me in the gut while getting comfortable during these chair snugs, but I’m still fluffy enough to avoid sustaining damage and he’s so cute…

Oscar gifted me with a rare lunchtime snug today, and included with that was a premium blep (a blep is the tongue sticking slightly out). I catch him like that often when he pauses bathing to look at something, but this is the first major sleep blep we’ve seen. He slept like that for half…

Oscar has been on quite a tear today. He rampages every day, but today has been especially energetic. He finally crashed next to me as I worked. He looks so peaceful and sweet when he’s sleeping. You’d never know he’s a vicious killer of toy mice, Q-tips, and milk tops.

Oscar and Udo like to keep us company during dinner; you know, in case we need help finishing our food. They were both in fine form tonight. I had already finished my plate, so they turned their attention to Brian while he finished his. Our brood is so helpful and attentive.

Oscar has upped his game when it comes to Delay Mode.™ He starts by winding around our ankles and Ghidora-squeaking until we pick him up. When that eventually fails, he runs to the door and flops on the door mat to blockade us. In this instance he was delaying Brian from going back to work…

This isn’t an action shot, but I think it’s one of the sweetest pictures I’ve managed to take of our little guy. He had engaged in post-dinner snugs and then fell asleep on my hand. Obviously, I didn’t move for a while. When that face uses my hand for a pillow, my hand stays until…
