Kitten

Oh Friyay, a busy end to a busy week. I had to betray Oscar’s tiny trust this afternoon and take him to get the last of his kitten shots. He was deeply unhappy with me, singing the song of his people on the way there and back. I can’t blame him; we’d been snugging happily […]

Amidst his daily rampages, Oscar likes to help us get ready in the morning. He’ll run back and forth, briefly stopping to pounce on a toy or menace the dog, trying to keep an eye on us both. This morning, he took a break and Brian found this. He had batted a bottle cap into

Between work, more work, and a workout, it’s been a very long day for everyone at our house. As such, this post is about to be short. A micro-post, even. Enjoy two slightly fuzzy pictures from this evening. And now we’re all going to bed. Happy Wednesday!

Nutter has always been a bit weird about water. When he was young, he sat in the sink a lot (still does occasionally) and even got in the shower when it was running if I left the door open wide enough. He’s less inclined to get completely soaked now, but he still loves to play

Things are progressing well on the snuggles front. Oscar has snugged up with both Nutter and Stan now, and he’s even started hanging out closer to Udo. We predict snugs there too if Udo will let him, but the dog is understandably paranoid. Stan trained him well to beware a kitten sniffing his toe floof

Nutter had a penchant for milk tops when he was younger. He liked the hard caps, but his favorite were those soft plastic seals that you pull off under the twisty lid. We found hundreds of them when we were moving to Second Place. He stole them and stashed them under every piece of furniture

As he’s grown over the past month, Oscar has displayed a unique trait among my feline housemates past and present. He has the loudest sniff I have ever heard from a cat, let alone a kitten. It’s loudest when he’s looking for food, and it is impressive. Think of the scene from Fellowship of the

It’s been a hectic week with quite a bit of stress, but I’m happy to report that Stan seems to be feeling much better this evening. I’ve said for years that Brian has regenerative abilities, and I was right. Behold, the happier Stan after several hours of dad snugs. Meanwhile, Oscar has been in full

Today was a heavy work day for me, so none of us got a whole lot of steps in. Stan is still recovering from the plague and spending every possible second draped across my legs, Udo is keeping a watchful eye on Stan, and Oscar… well, he’s busy growing, which requires a lot of sleep.
