Loki is a happy nipper. He doesn't bite hard, but his teeth are new and sharp. He starts nuzzling your face, in the throes of a purrfest, and then slowly (thank god) goes for your nose, jawline, chin or lips, mouthing at first.
I've only had one other happy-nipper, and that was my dad's burmese cat Kitten. Even at 18 months,I'd pet him holding my hand over my nose. See, when Kitten got totally blissful (and he was an easily blissed cat,) his already-crossed eyes would cross further and he'd LUNGE at your face, firmly anchoring your nose in his mouth. Never drew blood, didn't hurt too much, but lord, it was startling.
I'm noticing that Jake is more trusting of me when I am quiet. He starts to growl when I talk. He's once again out from under the chair, for now.
Well he wasn't happy when I took his water upstairs to get a fresh bowl. I hope he's not going to have food jealousy issues. But he's slurping away now.
God, I love Barack Obama now.

He looks so tired, but still so engaged, and still having fun, which I think is impressive at this stage in the game.
I think Loki is trying to play with Devi. He keeps knocking the pink mouse under the door to her.
I wish I'd seen his interview on Rachel Maddow's show. The exerpts David Gregory and Kieth showed he seemed surprisingly relaxed.
Hello big kitteh!
I'm having anxiety attacks. I went shopping for comfort food and came home with a lot of cheese, some chocolate and I think I need more liquor.
I think I could get through fucking anything with sufficient cheese, chocolate, and liquor. Maybe I'd need some bacon. Otherwise, bring on the apocalypse.
Jake has coloring like Rosie and size more like Petri. It took lots of time and patience (and certainly some stress) to earn trust with Rosie & Gilda, but I don't regret it at all. They're cuddlebugs now.
I was halfway through making an omelette tonight when I discovered I had no cheese. Woe!
This is a weird question, but it's been on my mind lately. F, C, M:
Obama wins Indiana
Obama wins Missouri
Obama wins North Carolina
