It is the east and Juliet, the sun…and she’s way too bright.

CB_1827

I am round like the sun, but not as bright…

CB_1826

I’m a dog.

CB_1823

What the hell…

CB_1825

That was my dog.

CB_1824

I like dogs…they are almost as delicious as my feet.

My lap. Mine. My own. My precious…

CB_1820

Not so sure about the precious, but the lap is mine.

CB_1819

Probably a better plan than these feet…

CB_1818

Ashbless has no lap. Ashbless needs no lap.

CB_1821

I could swear there was a lap here when I went to sleep…

Farewell Muse

Last night the world lost a big glorious goofball of a cat. My dear friend Scott Lynch’s cat Muse died suddenly and unexpectedly at home. As those of you who follow me on social media or read Friday Cat Blogging know, we had the pleasure to play surrogate monkey for Muse, aka Giant War Cat to my readers, for nearly two months this summer. We will miss him enormously and we’re heartbroken for Scott and his other person, Elizabeth Bear. I haven’t the heart to write any more, so I will say goodbye to him in pictures.

 

This was the first time I met him.

I uses standing desk for works too!

CB_1806

You know you’re a cat right? We don’t work.

CB_1805

But wooly bears do! Right?

CB_1807

Random wooly bear is confuzling. Also, possible sign of fall. Not good.

CB_1808

Quick, must get in extra sleeps on porch.

CB_1809

The McCullough cat are super weird.

CB_1810

But my nose is delicious, that’s something, right?

CB_1803

Maybe he did…maybe that is Ghost of Giant War Cat!
CB_1799

Y’all run with that. I’ll be over here tasting my paw because it’s awesome!

CB_1801

If I had thumb I could open this thing up and write better captions…

CB_1802

Non sequitur cat says they went that way!

CB_1804

Friday Cat Blogging Bids farewell to Giant War Cat, Musimus Maximus Butthead Rex who has returned to his own thumb monkey the ever charming Scott Lynch.

I put something on the shopping list…

 

CB_1796

I promise to only use it for good!*

CB_1798

Potential load of good is not amused.

CB_1791

You could trust me with it…

CB_1793

You? Ha-ha-hoo-hee-hee-hee, right.

CB_1795

I too am skeptical.

CB_1797

Great, now I have to sleep with one eye open until the end of time.

CB_1794

Not gonna sweat it. “I will only use it for good” generates an auto veto from Laura.

CB_1786

I don’t think so.

CB_1784

Neither do I.

CB_1787

CB_1788

Fluffball? Give me the BRUSH!

CB_1783

And, when you’re done…

CB_1789

Y’all be entertaining, Ima hang out over here in the sun.
