Kitten

Here we have Oscar using the tree skirt as a base of operations to execute ambush attacks on Stan. It was super effective. Meanwhile, helpful dog is helpful. Udo likes to assist me with whatever I happen to be doing in the floor, whether it’s wrapping gifts, doing crunches, or taking kitten pics. He’s the […]

Oscar is doing better than I’d hoped with the Christmas tree. He mostly leaves it alone, just perpetrating the odd drive-by ornament batting. He was under it this morning doing exactly that, so I flopped for some action shots. I think he looks extra cute lurking in a sunbeam to assault unsuspecting ornaments, but I

I haven’t been feeling great, so Nurse Stanley was on the scene to make sure I was warm enough. Not one to miss his post-dinner lap time, Oscar muscled in to help and the result is what you see. Oscar was using Stan’s head for a pillow. Stan was initially unthrilled with this, but I

We’re into our holiday rewatch of the Lord of the Rings movies and Oscar is helping by providing post-dinner snugs of a stretchy variety. We also discovered last night that he now weighs 10.5 pounds because he sat on the scale as I was getting ready for bed. I’m not sure if I’m more proud

When Oscar passes out on my lap, he tends to stay a while. He’ll often sleep on my shins because I have the footrest up, and he often doesn’t wake up when I put it down, hence today’s pic. Granted, I do leave my feet up, lowering them slowly so he’ll have time to wake

Oscar passed out hardcore after dinner last night and inadvertently did a fantastic Baby Yoda impression. Look at those ears! He’s so cute it’s ridiculous anyway, but he really turned it up to eleven with this one. What a perfect little fuzzbutt.

Oscar has been practicing his long-cat poses, which he’s improved by stretching his front paws out while he’s draped over my legs. This was after he’d been watching TV with us while we ate lunch. Fellowship of the Ring was on and he was super interested in the moth that Gandalf grabs on top of

Oscar rarely cooperates when I’m going for a kitten pic, but sometimes the outtakes are better than the shot I was chasing. In this case, I was sprawled in the floor next to the Christmas tree and he lost all interest in the tree. He had to see what I was doing instead, which involved

Today’s episode is more like Kitten vs. Tiny Christmas Tree. We always put up our little dollar store tree somewhere in the house, and the last couple of years it’s been on the dining room table. Oscar found it immediately, pulled it over once, and ignored it… until today. He chomped it and pulled it

The butthorn gene is definitely strong with this one. I decorated the tree last night, and while he was slow to take interest, Oscar has definitely noticed the new temptations. In addition to investigating the ornaments within his reach (the mostly indestructible ones), he’s realized there are lights. Heaven help me if he starts to
