WARNING: Extreme Kitty Cuteness Ahead
Why look, it’s Olivia and Othello.
Hi guys! … Read more
Tag: Othello
Preparations B.
While working on moving stuff around and hooking it back up today, and realizing that the Doctor Who pinball backglass wasn’t going to be able to adorn the window anymore, I decided I’d like some real live sunlight in the room. This turned out to be a very popular move with my household helpers.
Olivia seems especially happy with the prospect of being able to sit on top of the computers and watch the bird’s nest that’s been built in the brush that pretty much covers the window. (It’s an interesting privacy screen, but it’s really just a case of me needing to get out from behind the computer and get outside and suck up some allergens to cut it all down. On the flipside, I could always just tell people that my game room is on Kashyyyk.)
God only knows what the bird were thinking. 😆 … Read more

And the gold medal for synchronized cat bathing goes to…
The U.S. Olympic synchronized cat bathing team – Olivia and Othello!
It all started when I tried to get a picture of the dynamic duo snoozing together:
…and then Olivia woke up and decided that if her picture was being taken, she wanted to clean up. … Read more

Casual Friday
It’s casual Friday here at Casa Green, and everybody is in a hurry to do absolutely nothin’.
Othello’s asleep in the fuzebox:
Olivia’s decided that the dining room table is a fine place for a cat (I have to respectfully but firmly disagree):
Xena’s going to sit out the stormy weather while Olivia henceforth decides that playing with an 80+ pound dog’s feet is a fine place for a cat:
Me? I’m ready for a day where I can sleep the hell in.
Oh, and a memo to these people whose house I saw from the parking lot at work this morning:
For pete’s sake, wait until Thanksgiving or something!! 🙄… Read more

Fuzzball recuperation update
Looks like everything is back to normal:
Though he spent her first 36 or so hours back home hissing at her, Othello has now resumed his post as both guardian and pesterer of the kitten. (A warning for you Livejournal people: I post a lot of pet pictures. I mean, a lot. You have been warned.) Here I caught him red-handed, grooming her face. For the first day or so after she came home from the vet, Olivia’s body did have a chemical smell to it, and she cleaned herself obsessively during that time too, so I’m sure she knew it was there. I’m just glad that inter-feline relations are back to normal.… Read more

Rewiring the kitten
So yesterday Olivia went to the vet to get “fixed.” (I didn’t really think she was broken.) At the same time, she’s also being front declawed – she’s not going to be an outside kitty, and besides, every other living creature she shares space with can offer a testament to how careless she can be with her claws. In other words: we’re not doing anything to her that hadn’t already been done to Othello, Iago or Chloe. Still, it’s amazing how much the mood of the whole household plunged overnight without her here. Othello moped around the house listlessly. Xena whimpered and whined because she hadn’t seen her new best friend pop up in any of the windows to say hi. And yeah, the humans in the household moped too.
Getting her to go certainly wasn’t easy – she already had other plans, such as playing with the drain plug in my bathtub:
When she figured out why we were trying to catch her, she went into hiding:
But she couldn’t get away…
I look forward to her return today. That way we can all stop moping.… Read more

Furry wrist rest.
I have a rule where Othello’s pastime of parking his butt right on top of the keyboard goes: the keyboard can also sit neatly on top of the cat. He decided to test me on this tonight, to see how long I’d let it sit there. I not only put it up there for about six or seven minutes, but even typed some stuff before he finally moved. 😆… Read more

It is Friday, and it is time for a Kitty Cattle Battle.
Here we have this week’s birthday boy, doing one of his favorite things – sitting on my desk and waiting for an opportunity to interfere with whatever the heck it is I’m doing.
And here we also have a kitten, who likes to do the same thing. … Read more

A family portrait.
The recent photo organization project inspired me to finally get around to doing something I’ve been threatening to do for year – create a family portrait out of pictures where no two animals were in the same place at the same time. Here are the results:
Wallpaper (without names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
Wallpaper (with names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
Wallpaper (without names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
Wallpaper (with names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
I don’t know who in the heck would want wallpaper of my pets, but I sure do, so I’m leaving it here, more or less for myself. … Read more
