The cats bargain and fight for prime napping real estate under the Xmas tree. The spot also appears to be a great place to stalk and surprise other cats, which is why it is valued with such esteem.

Tonight, I was being a total dickhead and told everybody that Chef burst out of the bathroom and said, “I know! We should change Fidel’s name to ‘Fidel Cat-stro!’” For what it’s worth, this revelation was not preceded by any cat-related conversation. I SUCK!!! I also decided that we would name our other cat Pablo [...]
I know I’ve already established that Fidel is weird, but there’s this other weird thing he does. If I ever get the camera charged I’ll have to take a picture of it. He likes to stand with his face against the wall, like, eyes open, unmoving for great lengths of time, face millimeters from the [...]
I’ve seen those clips of animals watching TV but never had an animal that actually did it. But ever since we watched a documentary on cats and cat lovers, where all four of our cats ended up in the living room with eyes glued to the TV set, Fidel has taken to sitting upright on [...]
So we got the cats a toy at the store yesterday, a stuffed turkey leg filled with catnip. Within a few minutes of releasing it to the cats, Doug had ripped the leg off the “meat,” if you will, and left behind a really unfortunate-looking toy. It’s, well . . . Merle just got done [...]
Season Four of The L-Word: Except for the addition of Tasha, I heartily agree.
New cat Fidelio will be listed here. Because he’s a dick. UPDATE Dick.

We adopted another rescue cat this weekend. His name is Fidelio, and he’s a black persian mix with a smooshed-in face and big golden eyes. He’s a little ratty from his time spent on the streets, but he’s a sweet one. UPDATE: This one was taken with a camera phone, so it’s not great, but: [...]
And helpful tips for the rest of us. Consider this a preview.
On one hand: Animal abuse. On the other hand: Delectable cuddliness!
The tentative vegetarianism of my youth was more a comment on my ability to get grossed out than any socio-political commitment. Another reason, one that still stays with me, is that I don’t want to benefit from or wallow in another living being’s pain (save your healthy dose of schadenfreude). I love bacon, and I [...]
This one’s going on my birthday wish list.
This article on the ridiculous amounts of money that we’re willing to spend on our pets reminded me of this old letter which never fails to crack me up: My husband and I rescued a cat who had also been abandoned by his mother (under a lighting display in an industrial park) before his eyes [...]
