Retro Friday Cat Blogging—Ave Leith Edition

We lost our white cat to cancer on Dec 9 2009—5 years ago today. I was too heartbroken for captions and just posted pictures. She was a dear old thing and we loved her very much. 2014 update, have added a few pictures below the original set as I stumbled on them looking for these.

Reblog: I Blame John Scalzi

Updated: This was inspired by Scalzi’s pranking of Wil Wheaton (link below) and perpetrated by my friend James (link in comments) with the support of a rather large cast of unindicted co-conspirators. It is also made of awesome.

Ravirn…on velvet…eviiiiiiiil:

Speaking of wrong? WTF, thumb-monkeys? Black and white is my gig.

I am apathetic about your complaint, and, well…everything.

I am in the sun on a lap, complaints will not be entertained.

Are you sure, because I really like to complain.

I like to loaf.

IMG_6348

Dude, you ARE a loaf.

You’ve got a point. But more to the point, is he still behind me?

IMG_6416

Nope, he is now a power lounger for power lounging parays!
