I'm Back Ya'll!

After a crazy 3 weeks, I'm back to a somewhat normal state. A lot has happened in those 3 weeks. A major project has gone live at work with much gnashing of the teeth. Still. And I went to Pittsburgh, PA for 4 days. Mom brought home a cat from a friend of hers who has been declawed named Morris. His previous home had 2 other cats that constantly tormented him, so we decided to bring him here. And he's settled in very well. I hope to have a pic up tomorrow for everyone to see. Beautiful cat and exceptionally friendly.

Also, I have some sad news. None of the kittens made it. Apparently Momcat stopped feeding them while I was in Pittsburgh and when I got back they were too far gone to save. But that's nature for you.

Sir Snarklepants on the other hand is coming along famously! Below are some pics I took this afternoon with that snazzy new camera that I still haven't learned to operate properly. But I did get a book on Amazon that was delivered today that should be very helpful.

I swear he knows just how to pose whenever he sees that camera come out.



This is Momcat. She is brought to you by the letter U



And I cemented my love for pooties, I mean cats with this awesome tattoo last night! It hurt like crazy, but I think it was well worth it:





So, that's where I've been for the last 3 weeks. And I'll be traveling to San Francisco for work in about 2 weeks. After that, I'm done with traveling for a while. I miss my babies too much when I'm away.

I Know, I Know, It's Supposed To Be Daily

But I'm up against a very tight project deadline at work and to top it off, I've got a sinus infection that's sapping what little energy I have. I am starting to feel a bit better though, thanks for asking :)

I took these shots a couple of days ago. Sir Snarklepants is allowing me to pick him up now. I don't think he's entirely comfortable with it, but he doesn't squirm to get down and he also doesn't back away when I'm petting him. Video evidence is below. So no Daniel and Brian, it's NOT Catsploitation.

Ok, so maybe he jumps down, but he was there a looooong time before he jumped down



As for the other kitties, Momcat has moved them to the back patio. And now they are sleeping in the food dish.



The little black one follows me around every time I go outside now:



They all seem to be doing ok. I also bought a new camera and it looks very intimidating. Which is why the shots above were taken with my other camera. Look for the new camera pics this weekend.
