Cute

Anyone who’s spent the night at our house knows that Udo loves to sleep on tile floors. He’s either on the entryway tile or the bathroom tile about 80% of the time, usually on his back with his feet splayed in undignified positions. Because of the dog’s predilection for tile, Oscar has stolen his bed.…

A while back, we bought a new floor fan to cool the computer room for Brian while he’s streaming. Oscar immediately claimed the box and is still using it as his daily fort since Stan tends to hog the larger printer box. He finally let me get a shot of him being jauntily cute in…

Stan and Oscar like to spend a lot of time sunning in the front window sill in our bedroom. It’s a big window with room for both of them, so it doesn’t always result in wrestling matches, but sometimes it does. I managed to get this shot this afternoon right before a match initiated. As…

When one of our cats lays with his head pressed against something, usually while sleeping, we refer to the event as head snugs. The object of the snug is usually a human or another cat, but with our little weirdo, it can be anything. Case in point… Oscar has provided tons of snugs since we…

Oscar doesn’t like it when we leave the house. His new routine is to fling himself in front of the door and roll on the rug when we try to open it, and I have to say it’s super effective. He does this every morning when Brian goes to work, every afternoon when Brian goes…

This is not an action shot. He was dead asleep, hanging from the couch cushion by his back legs and snoring shamelessly. I managed to catch this from my spot on the loveseat because of course he woke up and moved the second I did. I bought an inner tube with a mesh center so…

Okay, so I resorted to another ridiculous sleeping pose, but how could I not? Look at this little fruit loop! I happened to glance over as I was working and was greeted with the ultimate sleep. He looks like he’s stabbed his ear into the couch and is using it to hang on. Dignity? None.…

And here we have yet another outtake in my eternal quest to get an action shot of Oscar, the Magical Photograph Avoidance Kitten. I was trying to sneak up and get him being psycho on the Cray Station, but his sixth sense kicked and in we got this instead. One day, I will get an…

While he has a talent for being cute, Oscar has an even greater talent for avoiding photographic evidence of his cuteness. I’ve figured out that he has to be distracted or asleep before I can get the really good shots, because if he sees a phone pointed at him, it’s over. Look at this little…

Since we first brought him home from the shelter, Oscar has loved Brian’s shoes. He snugs them, he wrestles with them, and he stores his toys in them. He seems especially fond of slippers for storage and wrestling. Earlier this evening, he decided he loves Brian’s sandals as well. I got up to do the…
