For your information, this has nothing to do with jealousy.

It just so happens that Oliver’s bath basin is also a great place for a tabby to catch some Z’s.

Of course it’s the moment when I’m under attack by...

Of course it’s the moment when I’m under attack by ruthless mini-people that I forget my safe-word.

Help… HELP!!!

Fight the good fight, kid. I don’t let them put clothes on me either.

Not sure how you guessed that the password was “Turkey Feast with Gravy,” but now I’m obligated to give you a tour of my Sutter Home.

I’m no Don Draper, but here’s the pitch I recently made to a connection at Apple:

“Every computer these days comes with a mouse. Now, go with me for a second, what if…”

Ask yourself if you really want to make the easy joke about a cat loving lasagna, or if you’re better than that.

littlebain:

We got some video of Oliver entering our apartment for the first time ever, which coincided with his meeting Furio.

We got the idea to set it to this song from Randall & Shalyn’s wedding weekend.

I’m generally not a reblog kinda tabby, but this one stars me, and my goofy new roommate, the O-Zone.

Furio: Started up on a 6, when he pulled from the clouds, and then I moved in above him.
Charlie: Well, if you were directly above him, how could you see him?
Furio: Because I was inverted.
Iceman: [coughs whilst saying] Bullshit.
Goose: No, he was man. It was a really great move. He was inverted.
Charlie: You were in a 4g inverted dive with a MiG28?
Furio: Yes, ma’am.

Took one last shot with Lisa before she goes and creates a new roommate.

If I look a little freaked out, it’s because Alex just said, “You’re the man of the house while we’re gone.” Sobering.

Watching the new Mad Men. Where are all the cats? I wanted to see if they used to sniff nip during the workday!

I am not being dramatic. I actually can’t believe that you’re not more upset that Cougar Town got snubbed by the Emmy’s. I know it’s just a play on words… but still.

Had a perfectly enjoyable nap ruined by my roommates’ inexplicable need to stroke my head.

The funny thing is, I have reversed roles with them before, to see how they like it. I’ve hopped on their bed at 5AM when they’re especially adorable, and jostled their faces or exposed limbs. They don’t respond nearly as well as I did, I can tell you that.

Alex pulled me up on his phone via FaceTime during his bus ride home.

I don’t know what sort of scintillating discourse he was expecting, but I was in the middle of a bath. I need to do a better job “defining boundaries”, I guess.

Free idea for anyone looking to make millions: mail bins that come with built-in knock-out blinds. How’s a tabby supposed to sleep past 10AM in these things?

I may look calm, but if you bug me when in the wrong mood,...

I may look calm, but if you bug me when in the wrong mood, I’ll throw your hand in a vicious figure four (see Wikipedia).

Burrito napping. Don’t knock it. This is how astronauts and mountain climbers sleep too, just not usually for 18 hours at a time.

My roommates got a badass new camera lens.

I look amazing from up close, but you can also see how I burned my nose on a hot stove as a kitten. It’s like Cindy Crawford’s birthmark for me, but in a masculine way.

I’m going on a hunger-strike to protest the recent environmental crisis: BP.

I believe every cat’s home environment should include tons of BP (Big Pillows), and I’m not eating* until this is resolved.

*Other than crunchies and beef-feast-with-gravy

If I’m not really careful with my roommates, they never manage to shoot pics from my good side.

I came across this fantastic best-seller: The Promise of Sleep, and I feel like I’ve turned over a new leaf.

I started keeping a sleep journal, and discovered that, far from building up a sleep debt, I’ve actually been enjoying the compounding effects of sleep interest for a few years. I might actually be able to stay awake 24 hours a day during retirement, if my napping portfolio continues to perform at these levels.
