Ada vs. Jack, Round 1

I don’t know if this even counts as a round since Jack is clearly not even trying. Biting him in the junk sure seemed to liven things up a bit though…

Fighting like, uh, cats & dogs

ada and jack

So this is the fate I sent one of the male kittens off to. I know it doesn’t appear so in this particular photo, but he actually enjoys this. My role this weekend is zoo keeper. Four cats and two dogs. It’s been interesting. Tak hates Ada, the chihuahua. I think she’s mostly jealous, but she’s been growling in a mean and nasty way, not her usual play growling. Girl kitten is joining Jack (kitten Jack, not Jack with the giant head) in playing with Ada. Grover is having none of Ada or Jack growling and hissing at both constantly. Possum has been throwing around her share of hissing and growling too, but she’s actually bigger than Ada so I think she feels a bit superior. Hopefully the drama will die down a bit. Oh, and Jack is such a little fat ass! I hope he’s just going through a stage, because he’s definitely barrel shaped. He may be using that extra flesh as protection against Ada until he outgrows her. Boy is she going to be in trouble then.

Being up early

Aside from avoiding traffic, I had a little treat for being up this early today. A view of the lunar eclipse. Sure I had to look at it through a screen of trees, but I got to see it with no effort at all. Too bad my camera isn’t up to the task of capturing it.

This just made me think of Comet Hale-Bopp. I was living in the lower Haight in San Francisco when Hale-Bopp was visible. I remember for months seeing it chugging along in the night sky as we crossed Duboce Park, dodging dog poop. Anyone else have a Hale-Bopp memory?

Bits & Pieces

  • I came home Tuesday to find girl kitten (Yes, I still have her. Do you want dis kat?) had somehow gotten herself stuck in my tall kitchen garbage can. Who knows how long she was there but she was really happy to get out.
  • Sal “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero just isn’t doing it for me as boy kitty’s name. I knew another name would come to me and it did today. When I pick him up, his limbs all just kind of dangle. This reminds me of Grover for some reason. So, Grover it is.
  • Speaking of Grover, he’s huge! Seriously, check out the size of his feet. This cat is just now 4 months old, and his feet are bigger than his mama’s.
  • Shuffleboard is fun even when you suck at it.
  •  If you’re veg*n and stuck in Sandy Springs, World Peace Cafe will take care of you. Our vegan lunch group hit it last Saturday and everyone enjoyed their food. I had the tofu scramble which was nice. Not too much nutritional yeast and greened up with broccoli florets. Oh, and I’ll say the magic word: dessert. They have vegan dessert.
  • It had better mother fucking snow this winter after the hell we’ve endured this month.
  • Took the peanut butter cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World to a potluck and they went over well. Next time I’ll use half the molasses. It was too strong for my taste with the called for amount.
  • Why is my dog whining?
