Waiting for 2018

Thompson is resting up to whoop it up tonight when the clock strikes midnight. Coincidentally his whooping it up looks an awful lot like his resting.

Piano Cat

Diego-san likes to sit on top of the piano because Theo has a difficult time figuring out how to get up there. Long ago he actually liked walking back and forth on the keyboard improvising a tune as he went along.

Failed Resolution

Theo is reflecting on the disappointment of not meeting his 2017 New Year's resolution to eat a lot more meals. He resolves to do so in 2018.

Toasty

We've had a run of days of below zero weather. One of us has had to make his way to work and back home in the frigid air. The others? Not so much.

Resting a Weary Head

It doesn't happen all that often but Thompson sometimes loves using my shoulder and arm as a pillow.  I don't mind one bit...

Potato/Potaughto

This picture sums up their complicated relationship pretty well.

World Peace

I'm finding this more and more common that Diego-san tolerates having Theo next to him. I think a lot of times it's just too much work to get up and move but maybe, just maybe world peace is just around the corner.

Helping Paw

Thompson is offering his paw in case you need help with anything.

Lobbyist Theo

Theo wants clarification on why we have a house rule prohibiting howling at the moon at 3 a.m.  He's a free speech advocate.

Festive Thompson

The curled up candy cane shaped tail is perfect for the holiday season.

Trapped

Diego-san is having one of those "I refuse to get out of bed" days. Unfortunately for me, he's sleeping on my stomach.

Reception

I told Theo if we put his ears on top of the TV, we might get better reception.

No Privacy Needed

Diego-san is glad Thompson feels comfortable, safe, and free to do what he's doing right next to him.

Bah Humbug

I broke the news to Diego-san that there will be no Christmas this year because he's living with the Grinch. He didn't take the news too well...

Selfie

Thompson and I took a selfie together. It's one of my all time favorite pictures of him...

Ranking Handsomeness

Diego-san is letting me know he thinks he's the most handsome cat in the house. I let him know that he's certainly in the top three.

Dress Down

I told Theo he doesn't need to wear a tuxedo when he's just lounging around with me. We're an informal house. He, like his brothers, ignored the comment as more senseless gibberish from the food guy.

Near and Far

One of my favorite Sesame Street bits involved Grover trying to teach the concept of near and far. First he would run up close to the camera and explain this was "near." Then he'd run away from the camera to a spot and say this was "far." He ran back and forth until he was exhausted and keeled over.  Thompson and Diego-san have a much more sedate way of explaining far and near.

My Arm is His Arm

Diego-san had me pinned down pretty good. Of course I didn't mind other than my arm started hurting after a while...

Yellow Alert

His alert level has been upgraded. None of us are sure why.

Leaning Toward the Light

He's 98 percent sure it's not a laser beam but he doesn't want to get too close just in case...

Faulty Cameraman

I was trying out my new iPhone's camera. Let's just say there's work to be done with framing pictures.

A Box with a Use

I didn't have the heart to tell Theo that the bottom of the box is a scratching pad. Then again maybe he's got an itchy bottom.

Online Boy

This is Diego-san's version of being online... hugging my iPad.
