Stanley and Nutterbutter often share my lap for Sunday Coffee Sits. This happens in varying states of distrust and usually ends when Stanley shoves a limb too far into Nutter’s personal space. We caught him in the act this morning right before Nutter left in disgust. Note the subtle display of claws on Stanley’s part. […]

All our cats love cardboard boxes, but they get bored with them pretty quickly. I usually let them play with a new box for a couple of days and then chuck it into the recycle bin to rejoin the collective. That was on today’s agenda for the latest box, but I made the mistake of

Oscar had a glorious flop in a big sun patch this morning after Udo’s brushing session, so I went for a picture. Udo promptly walked in behind me and screwed it up. The cat’s expression says it all. Only Oscar could bask so sternly in a mixture of sunlight and dog hair.

Udo sheds year round in varying amounts, but spring is always the big hair season. After his dunk in the lake last Saturday, he has begun to blow his coat in earnest. I was attempting to get a post-brushing shot of him and the state of the carpet this morning when Oscar decided to help.

Oscar’s latest thing is to hop up on the back of the love seat and park his rather hefty rear on my shoulder. He will do this for hours. For obvious reasons, his latest nickname is Bowling Ball Butt. I’ve started documenting these occurrences because they crack me up. I might use the pictures to

Brian trimmed a roast this morning for tonight’s stew, which meant Udo and the cats all got a little extra fat with their breakfast. They’re quite pleased about this, as you can see by Smug Stanley loafing on his favorite mailing envelope. We’ve had those for months because he loves to lay on them and

Udo and I returned from our post-workout walk this morning to find all three cats hanging out in the home gym (aka guest room). Oscar had parked his butt on Stanley, who couldn’t be bothered to move. That’s a quality gym bro snuggle if I’ve ever seen one.

Oscar is there for all of my workouts, either sleeping on the bed, sitting on the other end of the bench, or in this case performing guard duty in case the birds get uppity. He might not stay for the whole workout, but he always makes sure I’m doing okay. Oscar is the best little

We took the kayaks out for our first float of the year, and of course Udo came along for the ride. He loves truck rides, the water, and adventure. In this case, adventure included chucking himself into the middle of the lake because he wanted to switch from my boat to Brian’s. This resulted in

I’ve mentioned often that Oscar’s sleeping positions tend toward the ludicrous. Yesterday we obtained solid photographic proof. Look at this little fruit loop. He was completely zonked out. I had to hold his rear to keep him from oozing down my shoulder and off the love seat. He is the living embodiment of love, trust,
