Alternate Universe

This is Bud. Bud is the third cat in the alternate universe house of cats that I'm watching right now as their parents are off in Mongolia. In this alternate universe, Bud is the Thompson of the house since Marabou and Diego seem to be closest in temperament and Theo and Marcel look so much alike.

Bud has lived up to his name as he is the one of the trio that always wants to sit with me and purrs and purrs away. Today Bud wanted to take a nap with me and I had to break him the bad news that I couldn't stay that long. That didn't stop Bud from trying however...

Quizzical Friday

Here's today's quiz:

In this picture Theo looks:

a) Angry

b) Quizzical

c) Inquisitive

d) Confused

e) None of the above




The Answer???

It's e) none of the above.

The pictures aren't actually of Theo but of Marcel, one of the three cats I'm taking care of for the next few weeks in another house. My friend A- adopted Marcel a few weeks before I adopted Theo and we both agree they look an awful lot alike except Marcel's eyes are closer together. A- has never said it aloud but I think secretly she agrees that Theo's eyes make him look goofier and a bit dopier. But from what I've heard about Marcel- he shares some of Theo's wide eyed wonder...

Leader of the Pack

This video shows that just because someone is a leader doesn't mean they always get their way in the end.

Diego-san fancies himself the leader of the pack- usually the first to investigate something new in the house - like this new sponge toy. But that doesn't mean things end up the way he would like them to end up...

Dr. Doolittle

I'm being the ultimate cat person for the next couple of weeks as I'm stopping by to feed my friend A-'s three cats. This here is Marabou. We've had a long history and I don't think our relationship has ever recovered from the time I dared to make a comment about her figure in front of her.

A Great Day

Theo and I had one of our best days ever together. I took the day off from work- one of the last days I'll be able to take off until well until the fall. We took a long nap together in the afternoon and then finished season one of "Mad Men" during the evening. Usually Theo doesn't sit with me for long periods of time but today either he was really tired or he was making up for time missed over the weekend...

How Many Roads Must a Man Walk Down?

Thompson just doesn't understand why I need to go see Bob Dylan every chance I get when there's plenty of entertainment at home...
