Loki just swatted my belly because it made noise.

Considering his farts, you'd think he'd be a little less rude. (He has also attacked my ass when I've farted. )

mac should appreciate that.

Hubby developed the "fun", adolescent-boy trick of pointing farts at Amon. This stopped when Amon gave his butt a good swat with claws. I pointed out that Hubby had no one to blame but himself, which he conceded. I've also seen Shadow, Hubby's cat, stumble to his feet, shake his head hard, and bolt from the bed after a ripper. This prompted much amusement.

The noise offends him, apparently. The twerp.

Kittens are such a PIA.

12 oz. of butter in the Christmas cookies? Made of win!

Kittens are such a PIA.

Especially if you sit on them.

A buffista appeal: I need lingerie links. Bras, panties and hosiery. Nice stuff, but not too spendy.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I figured out how Loki's knocking the water over: he loops his paw into the handle (it is one of these inverted jugs) and yanks to watch the water slosh.

I've watched Amarna pin her ears back when she goes into crazy mode, hunker down next to her living room water dish, and then whack it with her paw to see the water splash up and onto the carpet.

Oooh, Rachel Maddow just referred to her partner as such for the first time on her show (I'm pretty sure--she's mentioned her in passing but never said what their relationship is)! Both of their families are watching her show from off-camera tonight.

Cats are supposed to hate water! Why do I have 2 that love sloshing it??

I replaced the (new! this month) waterdish with a large cheapass ziploc bowl. We'll see if that works.

“Not dead yet!”

Late this afternoon UPS delivered a...

Greenberg Smoked Turkey from Tyler, Texas. (Courtesy of my in-laws who are currently on a 3 1/2 week trip to Australia.)

Om nom nom NOM.

Well, I guess I'm not making ginger teriyaki lamb loin for Christmas dinner.

However, as Lewis pointed out, "Now you have more time to concentrate on dessert."

What should I make for dessert?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have seen more than one cat drink from a running faucet. And knew one who would specifically ask for it to be turned on whenever I went into the bathroom at its house.
