One of my cats, Drizzle, is a very thoughtful kitty.

Every time he pukes, he finds something - a piece of paper, an old sock, whatever - to cover up said mess.

Now I know from a cat point of view, he’s trying to bury it and get rid of it.  But from a human point of view, it has the benefit of preventing you from stepping in a pile of kitty barf.  Granted, it can cause such to become smushed into the carpet… but that’s still much better than ending up on your shoe/slipper or, worse, bare foot.

It’s also about a cute as you can get when on the topic of barf.

It’s like he’s saying, “Sowwy, I cleenz it!”

So we have a tree out back that’s like… I dunno, 25 feet from my window, right?  But the branches are big and they get to within say, 10-12 feet from my window.  And anyway, I noticed yesterday a whole bunch of dumbass birds flying INTO my window from said tree.  No idea why.  They where just bouncing off and flying away, not hurt or anything (except maybe if bird’s have egos) and so, just a moment ago they where doing so again.  Only this time my cat Drizzle happened to be relaxing here, sitting on my lap.  And he hears this tapping/plunking at the window and gets all excited.  And so he jumps down, runs over, and I pull the curtain and shade back so he can see.  And he starts going nuts, making this noise we call a “raptor” noise (usually, only our other cat Boo does this - it’s like a not-quite meow noise, like the noise is silent and we’re just hearing the throat muscles trying to meow?) and so he starts making it and then proceeds to jump at the window as if he’s going to go through it and get the damn birds, and of course bonks off of it and falls down.  And it’s just cute cause he’s silly and he’s like “I want them birds, gimme them birds!  Imma get you, birds!” and then once he’s smacked himself on the glass and fallen he’s like, “fuck that!  dumb birds, stupid window, I’m done with this” and goes and sits in the middle of the room with his back to the window like “phh, hell with that” :D :P

Silly cat.

It’s surprising how much a little difference can make in the overall appearance of a room.

Had to move a bunch of things to look for something (re: batman toothbrush found while doing such earlier) and in moving them I found 2 or 3 of the boxes where empty and thus able to be gotten rid of, and so now there’s like an extra 3 cubic feet of space where before there had been cardboard and… yeah.

Plus, I found a blanket my cat used to like and put it on the old computer chair and now he’s happily sleeping on such and oh so cute and not whining at me. :P
