Such a big girl

She's growing up to be an elegant kitty. Such a dramatic coat.

Just for Watertiger

At this point I think she's doing this on purpose.


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!

New Baby Sister

Okay, naming time!!

I am first on the list for this cute little girl. She was a stray, so I have to wait for 3 days to make sure no one claims her, but I'm going to be optimistic.

She's the funniest little thing- she was cocking her head and meowing and rolling over and sticking her little white feeties out at me. I think she'll be a good companion for princess Madeleine. She has the loveliest fur- grey with dark charcoal stripes on her legs, tummy and tail, and the fur on her back is more of a solid light grey with dark charcoal tips. She has white feets, a pink nose and nice long white whiskers and ear tufts.

And she's teh sweet. I can't wait to bring her home. Leave your suggestions in comments.

Update: Here's a blurry photo I took with my camera phone at the shelter. You can see how adorable she is.

Oh my

She even makes ME go "eeeeeep!!"

Saturday Maddie

I'm running out of fresh Maddie pics. I'll have to take some more later.

The first maine coon

And this was Zachary, my first maine coon kitten. He's about 10 weeks old in this photo. He grew up to be a mighty hunter.

Memorial Nikster blogging

While I'm being all nostalgic for kitties past, let's remember Nikki, who passed away 2 years ago. He was just a little fluffy, mixed breed kitty from Brooklyn, but he was cute, funny and smart. He shared my home for almost 18 years.

He had really pink pads. He's purring and making muffins in this photo.

Memorial Mr. Plushy Blogging

He loved him some toys.

One of my favorite photos. I took this non long after he came to live with me.

Friday kitten fix

Oooof. Feathers.

And strettttchhhhhh.

Thursday... oooh! look!! a kitty!!

Excuse me, why aren't you coming home on time?

One more kitten

I'm trying to post a pic, but blogger is bloggered.

Ah, all better. They were having a problem with the picture server last night. I'm busy today, you guys play nice.

It's mah birfday

"I am in ur house, scooting on ur sofa, dropping milk rings on ur haid."

She also lost her first tooth this week. (She's 20 weeks old.)

Your daily EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!

I think I just heard Watertiger collapse from eeeeeep! overload.

Comics

Do go check out Walt Handlesman's Pulitzer winning portofolio of cartoons and hilarious animations on the "works" page at the Pulitzer Prize site.

Most excellent.

Hallooooooooo!!

"I weighed 6 pounds at the vet today! I am sooooooo big now. But I still don't like getting stuck with that pointy thing."

Late Night Maddie

What I should be doing.

"I have toys..... do you?"

Ferret!!

Kindy of eeeeeepy, isn't he?

Monday Maddie

Poor little thing. She was looking pretty pathetic when I left for work this morning. I hope I find her a little brother soon.

Sunday Maddie

Haallooooooooo!!!

And how was your weekend?

Memorial Plushy blogging

Such a handsome boy.

Saturday kitten

Peeps are delicious!!

Late night kitty

I must grab this crazy ring.

Your daily helping of "eeeeeeeeeeep!!"

Friday Kitten Bloggyosity

"Wha????? Steve Simels was making fun of mah tail???"

She loves her some milk rings.

More kittenz and memorial plush later. This centaur is feeling a little under the weather today.

Possible buddy

I went down on my lunch hour and put in an application (approved!) and got on the list to get this funny little guy. Sadly, someone else has first dibs on him (curses!!) so I may not get him.

I did get to talk to his foster mom and we agreed that the best thing would be if that other person drops out and lets him come be Maddie's little brother. Look at the little pink pads and the little pink nose. Eeeeep!! Such a funny little face. Such little white feeties! His foster mommy says he's sweet as can be and a complete little ball of fluff.

He's only 7 weeks old, so he's not ready to go home with anyone yet. I'll know more next week.

Not Photoshopped

That really is her tail.

Update: By the way, we won't be getting into any "plushy tail wars" with Ntodd, since Lola "Da Tail" has a magnificent plume of his own. The more plushy tails in the universe, the better.

Your Thursday kidden

Eeeeeep! The paws! The tummy!! cute overload. Help!

Feathers, rings... so many toys.

For Ntodd

Maddie wants you to know that she has a very nice plushy tail too.

Hee, look how freaking long that tail is.

Update: Not a clip-on, and NOT PHOTOSHOPPED.

She gets Prezzies!!

"Thanks, her eyes!! You shouldn't have!!"

"Well, these things are pretty fun, so maybe you actually should have."

Hee. I can hear Watertiger "eeeeeeeep-ing" all the way in NYC.

Shut up Ratzi

I invite Pope Palpatine to reach out and grab a clue while he's stretching there.

Pope says Science too narrow to explain creation.

The Pope also says the Darwinist theory of evolution is not completely provable because mutations over hundreds of thousands of years cannot be reproduced in a laboratory.

Well, alrighty then. What part of the phrase "random mutation" does he not understand? Of course it's not replicable in a laboratory.

And where, pray tell, did Pope Palpatine do his training in evolutionary biology, hmmmm? Yeah, I thought so. I'm a bit tired of religious freaks spouting off about science. He should go back to bugging heretics and leave everyone else alone.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Things Maddie and I don't care about... Anna Nicole Smith's baby, Imus, "faith and values," St. McCain's goiter, what chimpy thinks about the war, and what bush's crazy base thinks about anything.

"Halloooooooo!! Let's play fetch!"

"Can we stop talking about Imus and ANS now? "

I dunno. She looks kind of annoyed to me.

Update: Let me add that yes, I'm glad that MSNBC dropped his show. And I wish people wouldn't say nasty, racist, mean things about women. Ever.

Hidey and Arrow

Arrow luvvvvvs her kitt-eee. Notice the paw draped over Hidey's arm. So sweet.

Happy Wednesday kitten

I am in ur house, getting ready to jump on ur head.

Oy, she really needs a friend to play with.

Not Nappy!!

"Mah head isn't nappy!"

But she is a fetching fool. (check out how long her ear tufts are, hilarious)

Seriously, on the Imus thing (yeah, we're all sick of it), the thing that bothers me the most isn't the racist part, though that is appalling, it's the mean and snarky tone of it.

Basically he said, "oh, look at those Tennessee players, they're a bunch of little hotties! But those Rutger girls, what a bunch of homely beasts." Fuck, if you wanted to make a young girl feel bad, could you think of a better way?

I've listened to sound clips all day of Imus whining about how he didn't mean it, and how sorry he is, but I'm sorry, there's something wrong with soemone who continually goes out of their way to say mean and derogatory things about women. I actually don't think he's a racist, but I do think he's an asshole. Just think of all the bile he's spewed in Hillary Clinton's direction (remember the "fat Satan" remark?). Blech. The knowing, joshing, judging tone of that conversation made me sick. "Boy, there sure are ugly, aren't they? They're so ugly the look like a crack ho from 10th Avenue!" "Yeah, you know it."

That kind of talk is wrong, hateful and unkind. I guess that's why Imus gets along so well with the beltway Bunch and the winger world. That's their M.O., isn't it?
