Kitties v.1

The internet is full of cats. They are everywhere. It's as if the species is one giant meme, whether they like it or not. My family has had cats since before I was born, and we've always had at least two. So I was thinking... what better way to break in a new blog than to contribute to the kitty madness!

My household currently contains five of the monsters and all of their drama -- and there is a LOT of drama.

I'll introduce them one at a time spread out a bit so as not to overload with cat pictures in one post.

Naturally I must start with my Moose. He's my baby, and he's gigantic. In my completely unbiased opinion he's the cutest. In everyone's opinion he is also often the dumbest. His name and the images of the slow-but-likable meat-head high school football player it inspires are well deserved.

He chirps and squeaks like a kitten. To say he "meows" is to be very generous.

When sleeping out amongst the living he is usually on his back curled into a very unnatural position with his head and forepaws pointing one direction and his butt end twisting the exact opposite.

That is a 17" monitor he's sitting next to all slouchy-like. He's a bigun.

Generally the only time he really wants attention is when I'm in bed reading, and then he's very adamant about it, "sneaking" onto my chest to get between my face and my book. He also enjoys stealing my bedtime snacks, usually pretzels or dry cereal. And yes, once I finally give in and give him some of whatever I'm snacking on, he's very careful and fastidious about breaking off pieces and chewing. As soon as I put the book on my night stand he flounces across the bed and jumps down, it never fails. Sometimes he comes back, sometimes he doesn't.

There are times late at night I'll be mucking about online and he decides he wants attention. His favorite method is to sit on my mouse hand or lay across my keyboard while I'm typing. Pushy.

He got very sick when the tainted pet food was a problem a couple years ago. I'm glad he stuck around.

Dork.

And that is a little about my Moosiepoo.

Also do not be fooled, that picture of my old PC is OLD. I do all my internetting from a sexy little thing called a MacBook Pro. My Magic Mouse and I love you!
