I saw my friend Melanie yesterday. She looked at me sternly and intoned, “More Milo.”
Who am I to deny Mel?

(Ruffled from digging his paper-ball toy out from under the sofa)

(Juggling said paper-ball toy. Seriously, this cat has enough toys to stock a big-box pet store. But his favorite toy is a crumpled [...]

Frantically busy? Check.
Crossing as many fingers and toes as would still allow us to get on with normal human activities in order to mystically help the Red Sox? Check.
Hauling out sweaters with glee as the weather is finally chilly? Check.
Making more of them? Check.

Gratuitous cute cat photos featuring Milo in unlikely [...]

Thursday evening: Milo gets his first fire in the fireplace. Fall is really here! (FINALLY.)

Friday: Wake up at six. Run around like an idiot. Drink coffee. Pack. Load car. On the road by just after eight. In Baltimore by ten (the first ten or so miles only [...]

I’m just hoping yesterday’s mental peregrinations made sense to somebody.
Because I’m not completely heartless, I shall give you a long-awaited glimpse of that superstar of the animal kingdom, Monsieur Milo leChat. His covetous approach towards my Sea Silk stole was not a one-off, it appears. The current project, John’s “Cobblestone” sweater from the latest IK [...]

We’ve had the loveliest weekend here.  It’s suddenly Fall: cool, dry, sunny and gorgeous.  I’ve made bread, and I’m wearing a homemade sweater and homemade socks, so I’m not sure I could be any happier (well, a fire in the fireplace would also do me some good). 
The cats have been mellow, also, enjoying the open [...]

Milo continues his streak as a wee charmer.  He’s cuddly as all get out, has an endearing “squeak” instead of a meow, and keeps us laughing with his playful antics.  All around, a good cat.  We’ll keep him.
He also (so far) is more interested in lounging in knitting bags than grabbing yarn with teeth and [...]

Milo had his first rabies shot on Friday, so spent yesterday feeling low.  He didn’t want to be held, didn’t want to be on laps, didn’t want to eat very much.  He seemed to feel like he had flu - occasional feints at normal activity, followed swiftly by relapses into glassy-eyed apathy.
He’s much better now.  [...]

There’s a group on Ravelry that has devoted itself to lolcat macros (of course there is - let’s not even pretend to be surprised, shall we?).
For some reason, this has gotten me digging into the flickr files. And then, I have to share with you. It’s a bad cycle, but I am helpless [...]

Pssst.  Can we talk?

You know my human mommy has been running for about two months, right?  Well, she says she’s not in training for anything, but she is going to be doing the 2007 AIDS Walk in Washington.  She’s getting pretty close to her fundraising goal, but she’s not quite there yet (and if I [...]

Milo has entered The Age of Teeth.
Anyone who has raised a kitten knows that there is a time when everything - a challenge, a caress, the coffee table - is approached with tiny fangs bared. The fur of Dash’s tail probably hides a hundred battle scars by now, souvenirs of a tiny tiger flinging [...]
