MomBert makes me pretty things because I got older
I turned half a century on Groundhogs Day. MomBert showed up with one of her gorgeous stained glass windows featuring my five felines.
Her skills with cutting and designing with glass have improved wildly from her first window which was, of course, a cat. Retirement and studio space have allowed her to keep making whatever she wants. Sadly, I am running out of window space to hang her…

Whisker Haiku
It’s Whisker Wednesday and National Haiku Poetry Day.
Whiskers akimbo
Tuxedo intensity
So many demands

Yes, that is her art behind her Wigglebothum.

Sun Cult
A sign of spring is that the sun worshipers are back. I’m not sure why the coveted fluffy bed is the focal point, but it’s nice to see them hang out together.
Where is Homer, you ask?
He was busy being orange.

I Might Be Biased
What animals make the best/worst pets?
As we hit mid morning nap time, I couldn’t adore my five roommates more. They are adorable sleepy angels.
They are also not sneezing into my mouth, screaming to be fed at 5 a.m., leaving surprise dingleberries in my sleepy path, leaving cold slimy hairballs in my sleepy path, throwing up recent food from the top of a bookshelf, shredding the plastic bag…

Little Adventures: Found Mothman
MomBert and I went on a little day adventure and learned that much of the world now closes on Mondays. However we found a sufficient amount of spots open to satiate our urge to look at old dusty antiques. We also found Mothman!
If you’re unfamiliar with this West Virginia based cryptid, take a moment to explore the virtual version of the museum. Mothman hangs in Point Pleasant, West Virginia,…

Little Adventures: Skunk Cabbage Achieved
After years of seeing metro park posts about skunk cabbage, one of the first spring wildflowers,I finally got to see some live and in person.
The ones that ABBF and I found were partially submerged in a swampy area. Their glorious lime and dark purple fashion choices were still vibrant and I could see the funky inner spadix.
Apparently skunk cabbage creates its own heat which helps it bloom in…

What Tattoo Where
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?
I think I’ve maxed out my tattoo budget for the moment. Perhaps in the future a tiny boat so I can tell MomBert that I DO own a boat. Maybe some more bugs or a blue jay feather.
MomBert is not a fan even if the date is cool.

Don’t GET. UP.
Olivia Wigglebothum continues to misinterpret the goals and techniques of the GET. UP. Committee. This morning, she cried until I lifted the blankets enough for her to get under them; snuggled into my armpit; sneezed directly into my face, we’re still battling a cat herpes flare up; then went to sleep on my arm. I certainly wasn’t getting up after that.
The Wigglebothum
Miles had to send in…

Just Some Raccoon Paws
This is what happens when my brain is too tired to do “homework,” but it seems too early to go to bed. When I’m that tired everything is hilarious and sort of a good idea.
ABBF had freshly shaved his head and I said, “What if tiny, leathery little raccoon or opossum paws were rubbing it?” He does like a nice scalp massage.
Then Brain was like, “Can we make this weirder?!”
Always.

A Long Day
I have to pee, but
Cuddle cries, loud chiming in,
A long day for them

Bro Time: Their Secret Lives
I received an additional Ring camera for Christmas. I’m not sure where it’s going to live permanently, so it has been providing living room entertainment. I’ve heckled Olivia and Homer through the microphone, and tracked who left the dingle berry on the carpet: Sookie.
However I’ve also discovered Bro Time.
For several days running, around 12:30-1:00, the bros head for the fluffy pillow beds on…

Purrrrrr-cassos
The cats are expanding their creative energies into abstract art. Although I’m sure if asked they would say, “It’s all about the snacks, man.” Art is hungry work.
I first saw this as a shelter fundraiser, bought a piece, and then did what most people do when faced with abstract art: said, “I could do that.”
I thought I could improve upon what I saw by defining the background more. Mostly that…

Little Adventures: and then we looked at more rocks
Think back on your most memorable road trip.
Having five cats definitely contributes to being a homebody. Very few things are more appealing than napping under cats or reading with a cat on my lap. However I do enjoy a good purposeful road trip where you have an interesting something awaiting you. Please direct me to your world’s largest ball of twine. Therefore an adventure to Arkansas to dig…

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside?
Found this little guy in the middle of the road on the way home from dinner. Just asking to get hit.
He didn’t seem to be tagged or chipped so we couldn’t find his owner. I didn’t see any missing posters in the neighborhood.
We don’t think it suffered. Taxidermy was suggested, but I don’t think this should get stuffed.
