Equal-Opportunity Offender

I post yarn pictures, Brian says, "Geez, what's up with the yarn?" I post cat pictures, and Marie considers I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel via the offense of catblogging. So hey - I'll be an equal-opportunity offender with this post. First, the cat:

Simon is in the habit of wandering around the house with a small, soft object in his mouth, yowling in a muffled sort of way (since his mouth is full of the aforementioned soft object). He has always been fond of John's slippers, and when in extremis he has been known to steal hand towels from the washroom and leave them in flagrante in various places around the house. He also has a stuffed rat that he has been expending most of his energy on lately. Generally, as soon as he realizes he's being watched, he drops the soft object and looks like a teenager who's just been caught flinging away a lit cigarette.

Today, he waltzed into the den while I was sitting there and waltzed out with one of John's slippers, returning several moments later, yowling and unashamed. I was able to take several photos. Weird cat.

Second, the yarn:

(The dog feet are just a bonus). This is Carol's Black Bunny Fibers Columbia/Dorset in the "seagrass" colorway. Really interesting stuff to spin - very crimpy, but easy to draft and smooth-spinning. Apologies to Carol for the still-novice spinnning - I just couldn't help myself in the face of yummy color.

Just to really get Brian going, here's some extreme close-up:
