One of My Nephews Is a Cat Named Bernie

This is Bernie. He is really fat, but I made him look thin, because he's sensitive.

Onion, Our Resident Stoner

taken with Afterlight

That little pillow at Onion's feet is stuffed with what I assume is catnip. We got it as a gift from People For Animals Saskatchewan, because I do some work for them in the name of all the heartbreakingly sweet lost kittens that need families.

Onion dearly loves this pillow. He launches vicious sneak attacks against it around corners, hunkers down on it like a chicken with a new egg, and licks it until it is in a sopping wet puddle on the floor.

He's making a day of getting stoned today, so he keeps forgetting where it is and whines at the hall closet door until I open it to show him it isn't there. For him, it is always in the closet, because that is where we found it before he got high for the first time this morning.

Onion is our resident stoner, and, frankly, I am envious.

Linty Morning Kitty Face

Oskar, ever linty, came for snuggles this morning, which seemed like an excellent excuse to spend an extra half hour lying around. Linty or not, I can't refuse him.

Lula, In a Rare Moment of Not Hitting Everybody

taken with Hipstamatic

Lula's usually got what we call her "slapping foot" out and at the ready, but she's had some extra sweetness lately. She didn't complain or hit me once while I took this shot!

And Then She Bit Me

taken with Hipstamatic

This is Lula. She looks all sweet, but she's a waffler. One second she thinks you are the best damn thing she's seen all day, and the next you are hateful in her sight.

Three seconds after I took this, she bit me.
