I'm leaning very heavily toward the name "Panya" for the new cat. Sorry, windelinaAs usual, this morning I called in to LAC at nine and bumped my alarm forward to get a bit more sleep. Only what happened is this: a few minutes later Panya (working title) jumps up right next to my head with a meow, flops down and puts a paw on my face. Just places it ( Read more... )

I think the most exciting thing I did today was find some vitamins on clearance at Target.
The runner-up was ordering two new pillows online.

At least the cats are chasing each other around the apartment.

The new girl spends a decent amount of time hiding out, but I think she's gradually coming around. And as windelina said today, some cats just like to spend time hidden away somewhere instead of sleeping and relaxing out in the open. Anyway, she and Kanika fought last night when I went to bed, but it was probably pretty normal chase and tussle. I ( Read more... )

On the off chance that anyone was planning on going to Balls to see Q on Sat, Feb. 26th, we've decided not to do it. We thought their recommended time slot was 15 minutes, turns out it's 5 to 7. We may choose to do it sometime in the future, but we'd need to figure out just what the hell kind of form we'd do in that short a time and actually, say ( Read more... )

Hmm...

A while ago, I had both cats chasing the laser dot around and they were kind of tag-teaming it and running right past each other. And the new girl hasn't hissed at Kanika at all. But just now, they seemed to be chasing each other back and forth around the apartment, which I was really happy about until I saw Kanika's tail puffed up really ( Read more... )

Today I mentioned to Hannah, one of my coworkers at the Quarry Leeann Chin, that I got a new cat this weekend. She said something like, "Oh, I could have given you our cat." Now, I'm pretty judgmental about people just getting rid of animals when they're inconvenient, but I asked for more details... age, sex, why did she want to get rid of it, ( Read more... )

The new girl just crept right past Kanika without hissing. Progress is being made.

OK, so John was out of town for nine days, was back home for less than twelve hours, and I just took him to the airport to be gone for another week. Late in his short time home, he discovered that his cable set up had a problem and he did not record the last two episodes of Battlestar Galactica as intended, just two hours of static. He remedied ( Read more... )

Technically, I should have waited longer. But what the hell.

After spending a good social evening with vorrant, I went in to give the new girl (henceforth "TNG" in this post) some attention. She was still curled up in a little nook on a shelf and was shy, but let me pet her and enjoyed it. After I hung out in the room for a while, she gradually moved ( Read more... )

I went over to someone's house today to check out one of the cats from last week's adoption event. She was pretty reserved and I wanted to see her personality in her home environment. The foster mom lives five minutes from me in St. Paul ( Read more... )
