My cats up-chuck on occasion, in various odd places. I imagine that’s what was on the top of the chest of drawers. Lovely. Maybe a chair was next to it earlier in the day, and that’s how she got up?

One of mine can jump from the floor to, say, the top of the refrigerator...so I wouldn’t have any doubts that he could get up on top of something like that. But I realize he’s not typical.

I got the rosemary into a pot...it’s ready to bring in for the winter. I also washed some pots...moved the ginger plants. I’ve got pork tenderloin and cranberries going and am watching the race.

Yawn—nice weather for a nap. We just got up, and coffee’s brewing. Yup, temps have dropped 5 degrees so far. LSA

Does your cat give etiquette classes? I think mine could use some. :-\ Though...at least the bed has been a miss so far. Yay.

Back from church. Time for a late lunch, and then probably some reading. I’m not very motivated today. ;-) It’s too cold and grey to stir up much enthusiasm.

I was having a 'warm' discussion with one of my fellow Finns on Jimrobs current Zotbait thread. So he called me, and by implication Jim, Taliban strapping on a suicide vest. I told him that was probably not a good idea. So when Jim came back from lunch, first thing he did was Zot him.

There probably aren't too many Finns left around now :(

Heh. I don’t think so. It’s a good thing I’m a bit messy....she usually finds a plastic bag or a newspaper on the floor or something to chuck on.

Mmmmm.....coffee...

I just pulled the new carpet...er...mat inside. It still smells, but not as bad.

I’m hanging out with the kitty, watching the end of the race. I need to start laundry here in a little bit.

mmm is right, good stuff. :-)

Gypsy is pacing a bit, it’s nearly her suppertime and no one seems to be aware of that fact except her.

Heh...sometimes I get lucky like that. Especially since Halvah has a strange fascination with plastic and paper bags. If I leave one laying around for any reason, she will sit and sleep on it, despite having all *sorts* of more comfy spots to choose from.

Second best is a jacket I didn’t bother hanging up...which is where she’s sleeping now.

Corin for the art part and the rest of the usual suspects for old timey weaponry. :-)

There's just something strangely disturbing about those distinctions...

Maybe, but I still wonder why nothing was knocked over. He's got a lot of frap up there. We can be certain it wasn't the dog. So either, it was the cat, or Luke left something up there and didn't tell us about it...
