This is a riot

Cats as Fonts
Which are cats in poses or with props to represent our favorite type fonts. I can't tell you which is my favorite.. Several of them are... well purrfect.  As someone who is a fan of the Comic Sans font, I giggled at that one..


By the way, just a PSA for all you bloggers.  Recently I have been getting comments from people I don't recognize and they don't look like spam, they haven't been caught as spam.. but their "name" links to a spam link.  So you might want to check that the links are actually to blogger profiles or websites that aren't spammy before clicking to meet someone who just posted on your website.  I have been getting a lot of spam comments since removing the word verification from my blog.. I don't mind, I can delete them easily enough and blogger is good at catching spam looking comments (and if they aren't spam they are easy enough to publish) but this is going a bit too far.  I don't want to put the captcha back as I am not a fan of them (and certainly not a fan of the new one that has two barely legible words) but it might be coming.  It stinks that you have to penalize those you like to keep out those you don't.

Random thoughts

Well I've been waiting for kittens for *checks widget* 29 days.. well probably a little longer because I could have taken kittens while I had my last foster..

I keep meaning to do posts on The Crew, but they don't seem nearly as well received as kitten posts. and I guess I get a little defensive when I share uber cute photos of my kitties and you all don't gush over them as you do the kittens.  Not that I blame any of you.  I totally get it and I personally seem to tend to gush more over kittens myself (well except Dante, but he's pretty freakin impressive.  I mean EVERYONE at work commented on him when I had him as my screen saver, but no one commented on any photos of my own cats I've had up there over the years)

I've also been looking at my keyword cloud over there and noticed I haven't chatted about my boy Eli nearly as much as I have the others.  There are reasons for that as he's just not that into us as the others are also he tends to run and hide when the camera comes out.  Now that static season is here we are seeing more and more of him.  I so wish I could get a video of him lovin the static, but the one time I was near him, a camera, and a light switch it didn't work.

I was watching TV the other day and saw on The Colbert Report that The Westminster Kennel Club dropped Pedigree as a sponsor because they were too ... how did he/they put it... too pro-shelter dogs? something like that.  I couldn't believe it.  I've never been a big fan of pure bred anything in the past.  I mean I get it.  When I look at Dante I see how freakingly impressive he is and would be sad to lose that, but it is just so hard to get behind when I see that tens of thousands of animals - about one every eight seconds - are put to sleep every day.

*sigh*

I miss having kittens.  A small part of me wants them to not fix the pet overpopulation in my life time, but man that is selfish of me.. heck, if they fix it, I might just be "forced" to start breeding coons or forest cats.. :)

PS, I've also realized I have been typing yea when I mean to type yeah.. makes for some interesting reading on my part in past posts.. apparently to me "yea" is actually typed out "yea!!" and "yeah" is "yea".  I'll try to do better in the future to add in those missing h's.

Kitten Fever

Well I think it is official, I have kitten fever.  I hadn't been able to stop thinking about Locksly since I met him, so I was going to go visit him on Sunday but I thought I'd call and make sure he was still there, and alas, he was adopted on the 11th.  Good for him, sad for me.

Yup, cause 7 cats just aren't enough.. *rolls eyes*  yes, you can feel free to laugh at me. I mean I am very happy for him, and I know full well that adopting him just wasn't an option.. but that doesn't stop the heart from wanting..

*shrug*  I can't have them all..

apparently i need a room full of cute..Where are the kittens?!?!?

Mine!!

I think I've mentioned before that my cats favorite time of day are those precious moments of first consciousness of my day.  I am not sure why they are so over the top at that point of the day.  Maybe they think I'm helpless and they are trying to protect me.  Maybe they just want to make sure I start my day with love.  *shrug* no idea... and I guess it really doesn't matter.

Generally the morning is sharing time, and they are OK with piling up on me and getting in each others personal space.  But this morning..

This morning was a little different.  My husband is out of town visiting family.  So Muffin was sleeping on his pillow.  I was curled on my side facing her with my hand near her on the pillow. I was  just becoming aware and I realized Jack had jumped up on the foot of the bed and was walking up the outside of the bed - up my back. For some reason he likes sitting next to my back when I'm on my side..

So Muffin reached out and put her paw on my wrist as if to say "MINE!"

I love that big fluffy diva girl of mine..
