This is the least of it. She also figured out how to climb doors today.

Trouble

Posted in clarabelle, monte on Tuesday, 15 January 2008 | 3 Comments »

I came home today and saw that the cats had been up to NO GOOD. I walked in the door to find three Da Bird attachments (one still in its bag) and one empty Da Bird bag in my entry way.
Exhibit A:

I then walked into my bedroom to find my sock drawer—which just happens [...]

Merry Merry Christmas!

I wish I could get a picture of all three cats, but Monte has sequestered himself upstairs until very recently. Now that the house is dark and quiet, he feels brave enough to jump on kitchen cabinets, throw up on the basement stairs, and snuggle up in my lap as I type this. Probably tomorrow [...]

Gratuitous Cat Pictures

Posted in clarabelle, monte on Sunday, 8 July 2007 | 3 Comments »

One of these days I’ll get my regular camera charged up and cleaned out so I won’t have to keep subjecting you to tiny thumbnail pictures. But in the meantime… how cute are my cats? I took a nap yesterday and awoke to this:

…The Windy City.
There’s some debate as to the origin of this last epithet. Some say it was popularized by the long-winded and boastful speeches that were given in support of Chicago hosting the 1893 World’s Fair; others claim it had been used at least a decade earlier in reference to the “refreshing lake breezes.”

Kittens!

Posted in clarabelle, life in general, monte on Friday, 1 September 2006 | 6 Comments »

I’m baby-sitting a friend’s two kittens, an experience which, although lots of fun, has overturned my fate as the crazy cat lady. Having four cats follow you into the bathroom is a bit much. Monte loves the kittens; Clarabelle… well, she’s coming ’round. And the kittens are, well, kittens: one of them has jumped into my bathroom trash can [...]

If Only They Were This Excited About America’s Next Top Model

Posted in clarabelle, monte on Monday, 28 August 2006 | 3 Comments »

One of my co-workers kindly burned a DVD called Cat Sitter for Monte & Clarabelle. It features a 20-minute loop of chirping birds, squeaking hamsters, and fluttering butterflies. Monte–who is severely ADHD–actually holds still for 15 minutes at a time, which is nothing short of a world record. Clarabelle, however, is a big ol’ couch [...]

Urp Redux

Posted in books, chicago, clarabelle, monte on Tuesday, 22 August 2006 | No Comments »

Finished off the “dinner special” and the BBQ Protein Tidbits for lunch today and sunk into a food coma that lasted a good two hours (perhaps much longer considering I only had room for a bowl of cereal for dinner). I thought vegan food was supposed to be healthy? Light, even? The tidbits (yes, that’s [...]
