November 19, 2012 – Milo has many favourite things, but I think his very most favourite is tissue paper. Kirk bought me a gift while I was away and it was wrapped in a few sheets of tissue paper.

They didn’t last long.

Back home, strange day. It doesn’t feel as if I’ve been away for ten days, it’s all a blur. My manager knew why I’d been away, and it didn’t take long before a few others found out and there were some heartfelt sympathies. What is interesting is that when something like this happens, you find that almost …

October 2, 2012 – One of two of our nutty furballs – this is Loki.

Both cats are as friendly as can be, with anyone who comes through the door. We had the boyz up at the vet last night, and she loves when they come in together. As soon as the door is closed they are both released and they take over the exam room. Up on the shelves, in the sink, all over the table, attempted destruction of the chair, reaching under the door at shadows that pass by. They OWN that exam room when they are set …

July 31, 2012 – Those big yellow eyes are always watching, even when Loki is soaking up the sunshine he maintains a vigilant watch on where we are. He always likes to be close by. And when it’s sunny and warm, the cats even manage to take a break from kicking the crap out of each other. Nice change of pace.

June 27, 2012 – Don’t you just totally feel like that when the sun comes out and you are starved for Vitamin D?

May 3, 2012 – That’s what we call it when Loki wants dinner. In the morning he has the upper hand since he sits beside your head and moans and plants his paw on your face and pulses his claws while you are trying to sleep. He provides good incentive to get up and feed him.

But at dinner time, he has to resort to his special super powers. He has to “will” us to feed him through judicious use of those big yellow eyes.

Oh, and he cries pathetically of course…

April 12, 2012 – Desperately searching for inspiration tonight. I was in hysterics over a photo I took of Kirk making a goofy face with a magnifying glass to his eye, but it was too awful to post, funny though!

So a few moments with Gizmo on the table produced this.

I’ve been marking exams all night, I’m tired.

April 5, 2012 – Thank goodness Kirk is back from almost two weeks of travel! Now this monster can bother HIM in the morning again!

After a long couple of my own weeks, all I wanted to do was sleep in this morning. Not allowed when Loki thinks it’s breakfast time. At 6am he started moaning into my skin. When that failed to cause any major reaction, he placed his paw on my forehead and began to pulsate his claws into my skin. Eventually he moved down to my cheek. With no success in sight, he moved on to stuffing …

February 29, 2012 – He looks completely tortured, doesn’t he? I know, we are such cruel humans to abuse a cat this badly. Call the authorities on us, our cats obviously hate us terribly and have a life filled with terror and suffering.

Yeah…right….look at that face…I had to take a photo of it because it wouldn’t get out of mine.

Stupid busy these days, hard to find the time to shoot so ending up with the things that are right in front of me, not that it’s always a bad thing. Not a great shot, but it just says …
