Radar demonstrates why she's such a dumbshit: trying to catch her own tail...



Note the lack of coordination and balance as she almost falls off the cat tree a couple of times.

Guard Cat

Radar, the kitten, is proving herself to be quite the guardian around my apartment.

For her size, she's surprisingly ferocious -- thus far, she has fought and defeated:

• the Shoelace Snake
• the Foot of Death
• the Box Monster
• entire swarms of Kibbles
• the Blinky Ball of Doom
• the Plastic Bag from Hell
• the dreaded Purple Stuffed Mouse
• numerous Bed Mice (the 'mice' that run around under the covers), and
• the Poisonous Plastic Bug

Elf has gotten used to having Radar around, and is pretty tolerant of the little fuzzball -- except when Radar gets too rambunctious, and starts trying to include Elf in playtime.

Stupid is as Stupid does

For reasons that escape me, Elf (a.k.a. the Hairy Nuisance) has decided that the bathtub is the feline Holodeck -- she'll get in the tub and flop around, paw at things unseen, and generally entertain the hell out of herself.

Yesterday, I helped out a friend by mowing his yard while he was out of town; when I got home, I put the pants I'd worn into a little water in the tub to soak (in an effort to preclude grass stains). While I was in the bathroom, Elf wandered in and decided it was recreation time. However, it wasn't until she was halfway into the tub that she realized something else was already there -- and like to have had a seizure trying not to fall into the tub with it. In the process, she managed to do a face plant on the tub before falling most ungracefully onto the floor.

As I practically ruptured an internal organ laughing, she stomped off while cursing me, my ancestors, and any progeny I might have.

One of these days, I'm going to give in to the repeated temptation to leave about an inch or two of water in the tub, just for the entertainment value of seeing what happens when she jumps into it.

"Everybody knows" that kittens are harmless... except this puppy!

Mooch, the cat really likes his "Temptations" treats. His un-named buddy -- not so much...

This kitten thinks (s)he's a whole lot bigger and badder than (s)he really is; the puppy is more like "Yeah, fine, whatever..."

This should help de-stress your life, a little... :-)

Cattitude -- there is no such thing as "lost cause"...

Cats versus the Dot That Would Not Die...

Caturday

There are as many approached to cat ownership (this is, being owned BY the cat) as there are cat/human combinations. For good or ill, there's always....

The Engineering Approach.

Late Caturday

Okay, so this is a little late for Caturday. So sue me ('cept you, Jimbo -- please don't!).
