Toward a Less Neurotic Cat...

This is the room that Lex lives in, note that Sirius will not fit. This morning he got his nose in as far as it would go, though. :)

The Final Frontier

Sirius made it on the bed.
He didn't stay long because I squirm too much.
Boy was Lex surprised. :o)

And, sunset reflections.

A Sirius Homecoming

In the car on the way home.
Interested in the outside.

First glimpse of the new digs.

Lex's feelings on the matter.

(Yes, I'll get tired of the pun. Soon, I promise... but not yet. :) )

Too Long...

...since I did a self-portrait, so, here's me.
This was supposed to be the not smiling one, but it came out much more sad than I was expecting:
And this is what happens when your cat decides to "help" by coming *through* your hair.

Getting Colder...

And you can tell because Lex spends more and more time sitting in front of the heating vents...

She will actually be sitting on my lap, hear the furnace kick in, and run to sit in front of this vent. :) No, I am not buying her a sweater...

Spoiled Kitten...

Someone was making fun of the fact that my cat has a heated bed. As a Cornish Rex, she has less hair, and her normal body temp is 2 degrees higher than a normal cat. I think she pretty much hates winter. She spends all her time looking for whatever heat that she can. At my new place there's a vent that blows out of the utility closet. When the heat is on, she lays right in front of it. Once, in a fit of guilt about not heating my apartment to tropical temperatures for her, I bought her this bed. She sits in it so funny sometimes.

Becoming a Wino

Here is just part of the stash that I bought at the Slough Creek Vineyard on Saturday. I am not a wine drinker, and I liked their whites (and of course their pyment [a word I knew and could discuss with the guy a little because of you, Spike]). This could be either a recommendation or a condemnation, depending on your point of view. :) Their mead was OK (I have been forever spoiled on mead). He let us taste some of their young stuff (he was testing it while we were there). It tasted . . . young. ;-)

But, this was a photo project so, I started taking pictures through the pretty bottles:

But Lex wouldn't leave me alone:

So it became about her . . . which, of course, she hated. :)

Around the House...

Circumstances have made it so I've spent the last couple of nights in Topeka putting stuff up and getting things around. This is Ezmerelda, she guards the place. She was a long ago gift from a friend who thought she looked like me. He added the glasses. :)

Here are a couple of my new happy places (note the daisies):

Check out the strange shelving thing in my bedroom. What to do? I put up family pictures. (On the left, my granddad, my grandmother and me, and my mom; on the right a bunch of family photos, my bros' senior and wedding pics, and my Lily scrolls.)

And, I just love this pic of Lex looking out with her tail curled around her feet. :)

Lex Looks...

There are mirrors in the corners of my new living room (no, I don't know why). This is Lex checking out the other cats. She's starting to get the whole mirror thing, because she kept looking behind her for the cat she saw in the mirror. She used to try to claw her way through the mirror to get at the cat. :o)

And here are the clouds on the way to the parking lot today:

I Have a Flower

That's my door, and my cat, and a flower growing just outside my door... No, really... :)

Tired and Uninspired

Didn't remember to take my picture until I was already in bed... :)

Lex and Me

Cuddly kitten. I was trying to take a picture of just me, but she was insistent (she's like that) about being in it, and being between me and the camera...

Ruler of All She Surveys

Lex loves the loft. Not only is it warmer than the rest of the house, she can see everything from up there...

A Cat's Life

What my cat does while I'm at work. She was so miffed at me for waking her up. She stays in my bed under my covers after I leave in the morning.

The first one I took:


I've been sleeping under basically every blanket I own lately, and she's been loving it. The weird patterns in the sheets are because I have an egg crate on my bed. (My bed = decadence...)

Oh, and she's a Cornish Rex, which is why she looks like an alien. (I think she's beautiful, but I'm weird that way. Everyone I love is beautiful to me.)
