Full of Kitten

I read an interesting book this week by a political theorist named Jane Bennett called The Enchantment of Modern Life: Attachments, Crossings, and Ethics.  It’s basically an argument against the Weberian theory that modern life is characterized above all by “disenchantment.”  One of the categories of modern “enchantment” she considers concerns what she calls cross- [...]

Pot Luck Becomes a Man (sort of )

Yesterday was the long-awaited/feared day when we had to bring Pot Luck in to the vet for his operation.  There was a scissors icon drawn on the date on the calendar for the day Pot Luck would become a man… or not.  Sort of.  It’s the responsible thing to do, in any case.
I heard Celie [...]

Cats’ Honeymoon Shack

Halley and the girls made another Cat House for Pot Luck and Daisy.  They both squeezed in for an intimate cuddling experience:

An enjoyable evening with Judith

Our GOOD PAL Judith complained that I neither posted her photos of C&I with the cats on Moonraking, nor even mentioned her at all on the blog.
So here they are from a couple weekends ago when we spent an extremely enjoyable evening with Judith eating some leftover Thanksgiving food and going to see that pretty [...]

Holloween Pot Luck Totem

I came home today to discover this cool Pot Luck totem the girls had made with Sarah.  Sarah explained that it represents Pot Luck’s (laughable) actual self-image as a terrifying creature with bloody fangs.  You can seem him (the actual Pot Luck) sort of attacking it in the second photo.

Pot Luck’s Cat House

Halley has been babysitting for us lately.  One thing we’re especially impressed by is her initiative in making art projects.  This morning we discovered a very cool Cat House Halley and the girls had made for Pot Luck (Daisy can fit in there with him too).  It includes a small hole labeled “Mice Welcome,” which [...]

Dog-sitting Kelly

We are dog-sitting our neighbors/friends’ dog Kelly this weekend, which was the occasion for exhilarated anticipatory excitement in our household for the last couple days.  We know Kelly pretty well but have never taken care of her before.  She’s a somewhat neurotic but very sweet dog.  She could not be calmer or more easy-going when [...]

The Little Kitten, Baby Mouse, & Baby Snake

Iris came home with another doozy of a story.
Once upon a time there was a little kitten.  And he found a baby mouse.  And the mouse said, “I live in a farm.  And they make fun of me because they think my body is very small and I’m so small that I can climb up [...]

Bassets for Obama

A photo stolen from Andrew Sullivan:

I’m psyched to see that the bassets are rallying around Obama.  The cats on Ruby Lane are still, annoyingly, claiming to be “persuadable” in what I take to be a not-so-subtle bid to get chosen for some t.v. focus group.

171 visits

So, someone linked to my “LOL Palin” post, presumably just to see the graphic that I stole from Americablog (who probably took it from somewhere else, I forget), and I got 171 visits on Sunday!  Needless to say, my biggest day to date.  I was thinking, bring on the Stuff-White-People-Like style blog-to-book deal, I’m ready [...]
