The cats are always helpful when we’re cleaning things. Here Artemis is inspecting my t-shirt drawer. In the next one, I almost caught her whaling the crap out of Apollo. Pow! Right in the kisser.

Happy Caturday (On Sunday)
Everybody needs some cat pictures. If you don’t follow me on twitter, make sure you check out Meowbify for some crazy cat image replacement fun. For once, the cats stood still reasonably well for portraiture.
More Cat Pics
I know everyone has been waiting for more images of the cats. I would have more, but these are not photogenic cats, yet. They will not stand still! They will learn, soon.
Cat Day 3
Artemis is starting exhibit her personality and it turns out we may have named her appropriately. She’s still a bit shy, though.
Cats Day 2
With Apollo and Artemis making themselves at home in our bedroom, things are just a bit different than they were a couple days ago. We’ve got two fuzzy creatures running about, finding all sorts of things to knock over and pull on. We were a bit spoiled with Psyche because she was an older cat, …

Things you See in the ER
Last night, we had to spend some time in the veterinary emergency room. Our cat was exhibiting some distressing symptoms. Verdict is: Who knows. Maybe a stroke. Maybe a seizure (although apparently cats don’t get seizures like people do, the convulsions are symptomatic of something else, instead). Maybe a dislocated clot that caused her excessive …
Dross & Nuggets
This image is clear proof that if you take enough shots with your 2Mpx camera, eventually something will come out that is worthy of being blown up to 8×10. This is our lovely, freaky, hairy cat named Psyche (seye’-kee). She is named for the Greek Goddess of the mind, continuing our tradition of adorning pets …
