Friday Cat Blogging

Here is my cat, enjoying a warm patch of concrete while she surveys the yard for birds.

Mountain Lion

A little Friday cat blogging to put everybody in the right frame of mind for the weekend. This is my cat playing mountain lion. She has found the highest perch in the house and is waiting for unsuspecting prey to wander by. This is in the master bedroom closet on top of the clothes storage boxes which are on top of the high shelf. How did she manage this? We don't know.

This and That

The cat is better, though she hates me because I've been giving her medication for the last week.

The next month of politics will be stupid as all the candidates try to project genial confidence while their campaigns engage in trench warfare. It hasn't changed that we have one person running for president (Hillary Clinton), six people running against Hillary (Obama, Edwards, McCain, Guiliani, Romney, Huckabee), and three people running for VP (Biden, Dodd and Richardson). Dennis Kucinich is running for public scold and Ron Paul has village crank sewn up. I've said before and I'll say again, this campaign is for the Democrats to lose. If they damage their candidates too much in the primaries, they risk getting taken out by the right in the general. The best thing to hope for now is a Romney or Huckabee victory on the Republican side.

On the house side of things, the tile we wanted for the bathroom and kitchen has been delayed for 3-4 weeks on shipment, and the tile installer says our patterns are complex enough that it will take 3-4 weeks to install, so we won't get into the house until late January or early February. A disappointment, yes, but not wholly unexpected.

Sorry no recent posts

The kitty has been sick the last few days and needs extra cuddling.

Friday Cat Blogging!

Being green is being pet friendly. When we received a shipment of sink faucets, little did we know that we would also get a great cat toy. Instead of those annoying and environmentally hazardous plastic packing peanuts, our shipment was padded with lengths of crumpled brown paper.

The cat took one look at this and said "MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She jumped on it, she bit and clawed it, she tunneled through it, she shoved it all around the living room floor.

This was the best kitty toy evah.

How can you improve on yards and yards of crackling brown paper? Throw in an extra cardboard box. It is three days later and she is still playing with this. The box is her cave, and she merrily romps through the paper every few hours.
