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.

Our house has become a tiny war zone. Oscar gallops through each room on his surprisingly loud kitten feet, punching everything he passes. Sometimes it’s a toy, sometimes it’s the dog, and sometimes it’s us. Lately he likes to swirl into a room like the Tasmanian Devil and stop right on top of my feet

Today was busy on the work front, but I had two dedicated assistants to get through it all. Oscar took up residence on the back of the love seat to kick me in the head periodically, while Stan made sure he and I were both warm enough. We got a lot done. Stan is still

It’s been a relatively quiet but productive day in Landisville. My morning started a hair before 5AM when I heard one of the cats coughing and hacking repeatedly. Worried that our resident elder (Nutter) had gotten sick with the Kitten Plague, I got up to check. Lo and behold, Stan, who had been feeling quite

Oscar has started to develop a schedule. He gallops around during the day with multiple rest breaks, but he’s been pretty reliable about his evening task this week. Around 4:30 every day, he totters into the computer room and assumes the Hold Me, Woman position seen below. As you can see from the extra faceplant

Oscar seems to be forming a new habit. Rather than sleeping on me every time he stops moving, he’s started to sleep near me. Sometimes he’ll gently place a paw in my hair, sometimes he’ll flop next to my leg, and sometimes he’ll whap me in the back of the head with his tiny fuzzy

Oscar has been getting more active as he acclimates and feels better, so I don’t get as many snugs as I did his first week with us. He has turned up the quality, though. In addition to sleeping across my neck and using my face as a pillow last night, he hopped into my lap

We had a busy day today. Stan has been under the weather, so he got a visit with the nice folks at our veterinary clinic. While the diagnosis was favorable, we’ve all been a bit stressed about his illness, so we’re all extra tired. Oscar showed this fatigue with his usual panache, as seen below.
