silly hopper
i went into the bedroom for something in mid-day and the cats were all sleeping. i must have made a noise to wake hopper up, and he had his tongue stuck out. he must not have been too awake, he left it sticking out for a while. after about a minute i grabbed my cameraphone and voila.
nora’s trick, too
apparently nora reads my blog, and she wanted to get in on the sitting-on-dads-shoulders-at-his-desk action.
julie’s other trick
she usually doesn’t do this while i’m at the desk, so i had the opportunity to use the isight in the macbook pro to get a shot of dad & julie together.
both the girls do this from time to time, but none of the boys do.
things overheard in a cat household
just a quick compendium.
- what are you eating?
- stop eating that!
- where did you find that?
- that’s not edible!
- get off the counter!
- get out of there!
- get down from there!
- how did you get there?
- stop fighting!
- stop yelling!
- stop… whatever you’re doing!
and perhaps the most important…
- don’t fall in the toilet!
travel companions
these were my compatriots on the first trip back east. 3111 miles in the ranger with these two. thank goodness they slept most of the time. here’s kelly looking very well-adjusted:
and here’s nora, when she decided not to wait for kelly to move — she just plopped down on top of him and they both fell asleep.
more hopper.
just more silly hopper.
