The squirmiest
Sherman the orange and white tabby is on his back on a purple sofa reveling in a belly rub. He is twisted into a comma shape with all four legs outstretched and his head thrown back so we can see his chin and the underside of his furry snoot. His front paws are crossed in front of his face. A+ squirms.

An old joke, but way to commit to the bit!
Email from Whisker advertising the new Cardboard Box Pro. There is a picture of an enormous cardboard box lit dramatically. White text over the image says: “Have a Merry Boxmas, and a Scoopless New Year.” Below that a red button labeled Shop Cardboard Box Pro. And below that, very small a photo of the latest Litter Robot with the text: “Comes with a Litter-Robot 5Pro!” “Every cat knows the box is the real prize. So this year, give them the ultimate one: Cardboard Box Pro by Whisker. Oh, and it comes with a gift inside for you too—Litter-Robot 5 Pro.” More dramatic photos of the box, highlighting the product features: “Innovation, simplified. Very, very simplified. Smooth Streamlined design engineered to ensure cats acclimate quickly and obsess automatically. Premium Recycled paper pulp offering a satisfying mouthfeel and optimal crunch factor. Multiple-functional Flaps that flap for endless entertainment that will make cats forget anything else exists.”

Well, this is surprising. Wish it were true.
Preview of an email from Bandsintown. The subject line says, “Just Announced: John Prine in San Rafael.””

Sonofabitch
An exploded bottle of cremant lying on its side in a freezer door. This explains the crashing sound that occurred hear in the early morning hours, and the fermented smell in the kitchen that didn’t go away after I took the compost and recycling out. What a waste!

Happy Caturday
Panzer the Siamese is snoozing in his trademark half-lap position while Figs the handsome black cat naps in the background. A perfect system functioning exactly as intended, preventing me from getting up and going about my day.

Not bad for refrigerator and freezer dregs!
A red plate with two runny eggs that were steamed on top of a nest of sautéed scraps in the refrigerator: a few wilted leaves of collards and chard, a couple shiitakes on their way to going wrinkly, and a shard of dried-out red onion. Seasoned with salt, pepper, chili flakes, lemon juice and olive oil. Served with toasted bread rescued from the freezer a moment before it was more ice crystal than bread. Not bad! But maybe that’s the wine talking.

Happy (official) Pie for Breakfast Day
A piece of pumpkin pie with an equal volume of whipped cream on a black plate, next to a mug of coffee topped with more whipped cream. The spine of a book is barely in frame on the right. The blurry orange cat who will, moments later, succeed in knocking a fork loaded with cream to the floor, landing himself in jail and providing an unexpected feast to his brothers, malingers in the background.

A little too on the nose for my comfort. #SecularPieThursday

Last year This year
A festive pumpkin pie with a border of pie-crust autumn leaves in a glass pie plate sitting on a withe towel with black stripes. A shrunken, misshapen, unevenly baked goblin of a pumpkin pie in a metal pan.

Who is that handsome devil
Panzer the Siamese sits before a large mirror in a thick black frame that is hanging on a brick wall. He gazes Narcissus-like upon his own reflection, transfixed by the beautiful face looking back.

Where Figs
The bottom of a white shower curtain is casting a peculiar shadow on a black tile floor. The shadow has a tail. And fur.

Awooooo
Panzer the Siamese, in silhouette, is way up high in the rafters of a brick and timber loft. His head is thrown back as if howling at the moon.

Me [extreme Dave Seville voice]: PANZERRRR!

Panzer: Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
On a closed toilet lid sits the remains of a brand new mega roll of toilet paper that Panzer the Siamese savaged during the few minutes I was in the shower. About half the roll is unspooled. All of it is chewed and tattered. There are full-thickness chomps in what’s still left on the roll. Panzer the Siamese stands in front of a white toilet on a black tile floor, looking over his shoulder to admire his achievement.

Sir. Please.
Figs the handsome black cat is standing on top of an upper kitchen cabinet, a feat that required several illegal moves to achieve. Dismounting will entail the same crimes, in reverse. Sigh.

My person. Mine!
Sherman the orange and white tabby is curled against me, clinging possessively to my arm with one outstretched paw. He is sending a warning glare toward the foot of the bed where, out of frame, the other two cats are soundly asleep.

Posting something random for the collective amusement
Lighted signs in a hotel hallway pointing the way to the exit, rooms 201-252, rooms 101-112, rooms 113-142, lobby, and ice ice baby.

I don’t care.

I don’t care more.
Figs the handsome black cat is perched on the front left corner of a coffee table, next to a stack of books, looking pointedly to the left. He is definitely not looking at anyone. He is even more definitely not looking AWAY from anyone. Who are you even talking about. On the other side of the sitting area, Sherman the orange and white tabby is sitting on a tufted yellow chair, turned to the right, NOT looking at OR away from anyone even HARDER.

Where Figs?
A desk sits in front of a pair of very full, narrow bookcases that are centered on a brick wall between two windows. Two black ears and one bright green eye are visible just above a computer monitor that sits on the desk. Figs the handsome black cat is in stealth mode again.

Muahahahaha blep
Figs the (usually) handsome black cat is half upside down giving the derpiest combination of fang and blep. Never more perfect.

Paying the tax for going away.
Three cats snooze contentedly at the foot of a bed with the TV on in the background. Figs the handsome black cat is deeply asleep on a faux leopard mat at the bottom right. Sherman the orange and white tabby is knocked out in the middle. Panzer the Siamese, on the left, contemplates misdeeds on his to-do list.

You’re staying, right?
Panzer the Siamese, overcome with relief that I am home, has practically melted into my lap. He was asleep before is little head touched my lap.

Stealthy
Sherman the orange and white tabby is lying in wait inside a leopard-spotted tunnel, positioned for ambush. In the background, Panzer the Siamese is perched like a gargoyle on the seat of a chair, in the shadows under the dining table. He knows exactly what’s up.

Well this is nice
A bottle of bay leaf bitters next to. Manhattan in a vintage glass with a candlewick stem. Two dashes of angostura’s and two dashes of bay leaf in my regular recipe tastes like fall.
