Kitten

Oscar takes a little while to warm up to new people, but he’s never been shy about making his wishes known. He’s actually a bit pushy, and he loves to get in your face about it. For example…

Oscar is all about good form while sleeping. Here he is displaying the Loosened Pillbug Pose while recharging from his morning rampage. The curved back and perpendicular feet positioning are on point. He’s such a talent!

Oscar and Stan scrap a lot, usually at Oscar’s insistence. Stan could probably do with a bit less wrestling in his life, but Oscar loves him too much to leave him alone. Today’s action shot is a prime example. Their expressions say it all. Oscar: “Yaaaaaaah!!” Stan: “Ugh.”

Oscar spent the afternoon on patrol and this time managed to avoid canine turf invasion. I made the mistake of bumping into the blinds while coming in to take the picture and he thought we were under attack.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
