Friday Cat Blogging

Fly, my steed! Run like the wind!

img_4077

That is soooo undignified. Monkeys were made to bring food, not ride.

img_3919

Also, you can eat them in case of emergency.

img_3967

I am intrigued by your ideas. Do you perchance have recipes?

img_0977

You can’t eat monkeys! They bring the duckies!

img_4148

Also, as noted above, they make epic mounts!

img_4221

Who needs a mount when you have this excellent frog launching pad?

img_4033

Why the hell is there a frog in this story? Cats and caterpillars only, man!

img_4178

I am skeptical of the caterpillar half of that statement…

img_4010-version-2

On second thought, screw it, you do what you have to. Ima  take a nap.

IMG_3928

Da hell?*

IMG_3966

This isn’t going to end well…

IMG_3994

I like caterpillars. They are delicious!

IMG_4059

Dat not so bad.

IMG_4029

What about frogs?

IMG_4053

Frogs are also delicious!

IMG_4023

I would not eat a frog. Not with a dog. Not in a bog.

IMG_3956

Only if someone else catches it for me. Because I ain’t amovin.

IMG_3958

Man, it’s a good thing cats are so lazy.

IMG_3988

Not all cats!

IMG_3674

Thanks to Matt Kuchta, Mandy Little, Neil Gaiman, and the Hot Tub Frog for various guest animals.

Belated Friday Cat Blogging

Is today the day for the competitive sleep off?

IMG_3398

I don’t know, it’s too bright out to check the roster.

IMG_3754

I’m going to throw down just in case. 3.2.1. zzzzz….

IMG_3779

IMG_3735

Dance party and sleep off in one move!

IMG_3732

Did someone say dance party?

IMG_3781

Oooh, I’m always in for dancing I’ve got the legs for it. 200 of them!

IMG_8582

I’ve got the disco floor lit up!

IMG_3768

IMG_3409

Don’t ask me, I was hired for the sleep off, as a couch…

Is it just me or is this gravity poorly adjusted?

IMG_3389

I’m ready, I have feathers!

IMG_3364

I’m not quite sure that’s how it works…

IMG_3416

I am going to cling to the thumb-monkey just in case.

IMG_3303

In proper cat household, thumb-monkey clings to you.

IMG_3439

I think I will cling to this plate of tuna.

IMG_3313

With thanks to Matt, Mandy, and Neil for the extra cats.

Friday Cat Blogging

IMG_3251

Da boss says I gotta climb you, monkey.

IMG_3288

That’s not how you climb a monkey.

IMG_3256

THIS is how you climb a monkey.

IMG_3098

Dammit, coup foiled and exiled to the bathroom. AGAIN.

Infodumpy: a “poem”

 I blame Dana Baird…

Beware the infodump, my child!
The bits that bore, the facts that fail!
Beware the as-you-know, Bobs
And handwavious exegesis!

Take not the purple pen in hand:
Lest too long the tedious plot be splained —
Then resist the by-the-way asides,
And babble not the it-all-begans.

And hast thou slain the infodump?
Come to my arms pithy child!
O laconic day! Compact! Concise!’
He chortled in his brevity

Dana and I were on this panel at CONvergence and she said “Beware the infodump!” and this has been percolating ever since…

And, yes, I know it doesn’t scan perfectly, but I was trying to keep it brief…

The process that is.

Really? Looks like a frog to me.

IMG_3157

See.

When do we want them?

IMG_2777
