RIP beloved Zoey

Barry in Alaska writes today to say that his beloved pirate kitteh Zoey reached the end of her life today. She suffered a small stroke and has gone to the rainbow bridge. But never fear, Lion Kitteh Maxx has been summoned and will be along shortly to take Zoey on a journey to the stars on Comet Maxx.

RIP dear girl. May the afterlife be filled with snoozy blankies, alien carrots, delicious treats and long, lazy naps. You will be missed. I am certain that every day with you was a gift.

SPACE!! bitches!!

Via Bad Astronomy Blog, an incredible photo of galaxy NG 634 photographed by Hubble. It's 120,000 light years across and 220,000 light years away from us.

Making it an excellent candidate for a destination for my fiendish teabagger relocation project.

Kittehs GALORE!!!

Yeah, okay, they're iPhone photos, but they're STILL PLUSHY!!! u noes that they are.

Saturn!!

Yeah, I know I haven't been around much - apologies!! take this incredible photo of the storm on Saturn that started last year, photographed by the Cassini spacecraft, as a peace offering.

For those of you wondering about the plushy girls, why yes, they are just fine. Unfortunately my apartment is fairly shady and I've had problems shooting them without a flash. Not to mention lack of time to do so.

They shall return in all their fluffy glory shortly.

Friday Kittehs return!

Yes, the plushy gurlz are still plushy!

Kittehs lurve teh Super Bowl too...

...or at least the half-time show of the Puppy Bowl.
