My lovely assistant. I thought cats would be afraid of power tools, Clio was head butting the drill as I was putting up the shelves.

Sue, the nuzzling shelf picture looks like Devi, and the smug Clio looks like Mister Kitty. Which tells you all about my tabbies...

CUTE (see, appropriate use of word. Fuzzy snugglemuffins.)

I was just listening to Between the Covers, a CBC show that's basically serialized dramatic readings of books. I was listening because the main male actors voice was familiar and I couldn't place it. It turns out that it's Ron Halder, an actor I worked with twice in Vancouver.

Also, how the hell do you manage collars that don't drive you whacko with the jingling? Devi'd never tolerate one and MK used his to annoy the hell out of me, so now both are without collars. I should chip them.

Well, sara, they must be cuties. She was really annoying and at the same time totally cute, while I was trying to hold the shelf level with one hand and drill in the screws with the other. I kept put things down to snap pictures, but the damn cat never stays in one place for long.

Also, how the hell do you manage collars that don't drive you whacko with the jingling?

It's just a tag, and I can only hear it when they are eating and it's banging against their dish. That helps me to know when Clio has stopped eating and is attempting to storm the bedroom to eat Pico's food.

I swear, MK learned how to trot to make noise.

Devi's very very skittish, but she does that squinty nuzzle thing. MK is just a big, in-your-face slut. He's totally like Clio when I'm trying to do something.

Clio is a big slut too. She has to make everyone who visits love her.

Cross posted a few places: I had to leave my computer in the shop for repairs, so I won't have any internet access at home for about a week. If you need to get in touch with me this weekend, try my cell phone.
