Kitten

The sun is out today, so Oscar is all about his window time. Unfortunately, he’s not fond of sharing the windows, so a brief scuffle ensued when Udo came to see what was going on out front. Oscar won his window spot and Udo retired to the rug with his rawhide chew, so all is…

Oscar isn’t a fan of the cold, rainy weather, so he’s protesting by carving out a little fort on the bed and loafing in it. You can tell he’s grumpy by the set of his ears. He didn’t even get up or roll at me when I came in to take his picture, but he…

Oscar’s been spending more snug time the past couple of days since it’s gotten colder. I thought I could catch him being cute with Stan this morning, but nope. Snug shot denied. Instead, we get to admire his toe stripe. It’s a dark shot, but I love how well his snowy patterns stand out against…

Oscar has always been into boxes (literally), but his real passion is chewing on the flap corners. I set an Amazon box on the table to put with the recycle stuff later, and he immediately went to town on it. By the time he was done, it looked like a tiny shark had attacked the…

Oscar likes to hide behind whatever’s available (often me) to ambush his prey of the moment. I have no idea what he was after here, but he jumped on it from behind the table leg. Whatever it was, I’m sure it’s now thoroughly dead. He’s a conscientious killer.

Oscar is not a fan of Mondays. We get up early, we leave the house, we do stuff other than dote on him when he’s awake. It’s a drag. His face here does a fine job of expressing how we both feel. Although we feel like we can’t even today, we must. We must even.…

Oscar has a penchant for hiding things (usually bug carcasses or milk tops) under our rugs. When he does this, he performs a patented slither maneuver along the side of the rug before shoving the toy into position, like so. In this case the payload was a milk top, which I’m glad for since I…

Oscar was being his usual helpful self today as I did laundry (he always “helps” me make the bed), but he took a break to flop in his favorite bedroom sunbeam. I caught him right before he rolled over to tap my toes for interrupting his sunning session. Afternoon warms are serious business, folks.

Oscar took his favorite mouse onto the bed this morning for a good chomping session and was interrupted by Udo. You can see he was not amused at the possible incursion into his territory. Fortunately for us all, especially the dog, there was no incursion and the chomp session continued unabated. We were seconds away…

Today’s shot is an outtake from Monday that I had to share because it’s hilarious, and because it’s been crazy all day. Look at that little tiger belly! He still weighs 10.5 pounds, which we know because he sat on the scale again the other morning. How does he have such an impressive fuzzy tummy?…
