Ripley returns!!

... and just as cute and plushy as ever. I have a new iPhone - I'll attempt to get some video of the gurlz in action this weekend. Sorry for the long absence. Work has been interfering with my plushyblogging related program activities.

Lion Kitteh Alex!!

This is Alex, the latest addition to the household that owns long time reader Sarah H. He apparently found a nice dirt pile to roll in and ended up in the bath. I'd say conditions now are cloudy with a chance of pink skin peeking through.

Alex was so matted that he ended up (just like lion kitteh Maxx) with a lion cut. ADORBS!!!

Cloudy and a chance of plushiness

My new camera shoots video. Unfortunately, I have been too busy to learn how to do that. Soon though! Live action plushy- something to look forward to.

kittehs at last

"We're all fine here... situation normal... ummm, LUKE!!! we gotz company!!!"

Seriously, just work getting in the way of posting. So everybody simmer down nao!! And yes, pics are high resolution.

So sorry, I'm traveling - but I'll try to post some kitty pictures tomorrow. When I'm a little more sober.

some baby Ripley

While we're being all nostalgic.... Ripley was quite a little fluff ball herself. She looks quite funny without her supernatural ruff.

more archival baby plush

Found this funny pic of Maddie as a baby. She's about 14 weeks old here. Such a silly kitten.



And another!



and.... EEEEEEP!! What's funny is they do the same poses as adults as they did as babies.

more baby plushy

They don't sleep together like this much anymore. So sweet.

baby plushies

I was looking through my archives and I ran across this set - look how little Ripley is!! EEEEEEEP!!! They were funny kittens.

And the plushy gurlz

...who have been enjoying the fine spring weather here.

Ah, and a note for you frequent visitors - remember Elsie, the little stray cow-kitty? apparently she is not a stray after all. She has a home, though they do let her roam about at all hours of the day and night.

our resident cardinal

I've been trying to grab a pic of this guy forever. A crappy picture, but at least he's in the picture.

Guest Kitteh!!!!

JDW's kitteh Champ, taking a nice sun bath!!

The girls will be back shortly, I am snowed under with work again.

Friday plushiness

UR Daily Plush

I think a comment on would be superfluous on this set of photos. Eeeeep!!

Oh my! 7 species in One Forest

This is rather amazing:

Caught by a camera trap, a leopard prowls under the dense canopy of the Jeypore-Dehing lowland rain forest in the northeast Indian state of Assam (map).

Released in February, the picture was taken during a two-year survey supported by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment, the Rufford Small Grants Foundation, and the Wildlife Conservation Society.

The research found seven cat species in a 354-square-mile (570-square-kilometer) range—the highest diversity of cat species yet photographed in a single area.

Wildlife biologist Kashmira Kakati had been studying the gibbons of Jeypore-Dehing and became curious about the predator tracks she kept finding on the ground.

"I said, I need to find out what's there," Kakati told National Geographic News. "Nobody had any clue. People who had been in the forest 30 years didn't know."

Sneaky kittehs! no one even knew they were there.

Not plushy but cool anyway

Obama doesn't have enough hair to be plushy (though some days I wish he'd grow an afro just to irritate the right wing) but we like him anyway. Good friend JDW waited in line 2 hours on Sunday to get tickets, and then braved the cold and rain today to attend Obama's health care rally in Ohio.

As you can see, he got pretty close to the president. This photo was shot just before he shook the president's hand - said handshake has now doomed JDW to "dirty fucking hippy" status for all eternity.

JDW describes the tone in the hall as "resolute." Good.





We thank him for enduring the cold, rain, crowds and security nonsense and turning out to support reform in person.

I must confess to be disappointed that he didn't come back with a frame of Obama putting his shoe up Kucinich's ass.

extra Maddie

She's always looking for something to pounce on.

week end kittehs

I love her funny face.

"dis mousie haz feathers - iz all wrong. I plukz dem.


Never a dull moment.
