Dangling limbs

Thank goodness we have those extra wide windowsills.

We're so ready

Me and my city kitty.

Reading

Lately

At the beginning of December I finally - FINALLY - joined the 21st century.

Though I will miss my Little Flip Phone That Could (seriously, that thing fearlessly texted and fell in parking lots and sometimes the back cover came off, but by gosh it was a survivor!), I am more than a little obsessed with my new ward.

And, like the rest of the blogosphere, my main fetish is Instagram.

Why does making photos square and slightly blurred seem to make everything so much more attractive?

There have been a million trillion trips into the city lately, as The Apartment Hunt reaches it's peak.

Pip continues to be a lazy lump.

Though she is very excited for Santa's imminent arrival.

She would like to point out that aside from a few recent "Rug Incidents" she has been a very good girl and has (almost) completely stopped waking her humans up at very early hours by banging her pawpaws on the bedroom door. 

We are mentally scaling down our expectations in preparation for our move to NYC.

(It should be noted that the city is a hundred times prettier when the powerful scent of pine needles masks the hot dog, subway exhaust haze.)

Apparently some people living in tiny NYC apartments manage to find space for 100 pairs of Tory Burch shoes. 

We have tried to get into the Christmas spirit by accumulating way too many cookies....

...and watching some super grainy, converted-from-VHS Sesame Street Christmas special.

(Does anyone else ONLY think of Big Bird on ice skates when they hear Feliz Navidad?)

And Pip?

Well, Pip continues to contribute nothing particularly useful to the household.

An exciting new game called Pippi vs. The Shower Curtain

Cozy

Pippi and Jared play some video games...

...loaf on the bed...

...and in a rare moment of coziness Miss I'm-too-good-to-sit-with-my-humans squeezed in between us (of her own accord!) to watch some TV.

A dejected fan

Pippi recovers after Saturday's embarrassing loss.

Saturday morning

It's a tough life for a kitten.

Please sir

Can't I have a smidge of ham?

New favorite spot

Actually curling up ON the keyboard.

Kitten, you're going to ruin your eyes!

Friday morning

Freezing cold outside. 

Toasty under the covers.

Sunlight streaming in. 

Laptop on my lap.

Kitten on my feet.

21st Century Kitten

Tweeting.

Blogging.

What has this world come to?

Laundry day

Loves her hangers

Catarazzi

Well helloooo. Just posing for my adoring fans.

Spending the afternoon basking in the sunlight of adoration. No biggie. 

What? This is too much? Inappropriate you say? Fine. 

No one can appreciate talent when they see it!

Pippi's new game

Get up on hind legs and/or climb/dive head first onto Kathryn's nightstand.

Burrow around.

Locate ponytail holder.

Trot out of bedroom with ponytail holder hanging out of mouth while making proud little noises.

Get ponytail holder confiscated by mean mean mommy.

Meow peevishly.

Try again later.

Dolled up

Last night we got all dressed up and went to a good friend's wedding.

I was happy to see my kitten. She was not happy to be held against her will.

Note: Isn't it amazing how obedient your hair is when you style it wet? I don't think I'll ever get over it.

Guilty

Doesn't that face have guilt written all over it?

Yeah. It should. Seeing as SOMEONE left a little surprise under Jared's desk the other night and he stepped in it with bare feet.
The pleasures of pet ownership.

Reunion

There is a very cute kitten [with very crazy eyes] who is very happy that her humans have returned from vacation.

LBI

This past week we were away on a family vacation, and now the thought of returning to work tomorrow is making me whimper.

Pip went on vacation too...to her grandhumans' house. 

She was less than pleased with the arrangement.

[Please know that I spent the week OBSESSIVELY reading Game of Thrones Book 3 - aka THE BEST ONE OMG. It is becoming a little (fine, a lot) embarrassing how addicted I am to these books. I literally COULD. NOT. STOP. I really reduced human interaction to a minimum so I could continue plowing my way thru the insanity of this book. It's sick. 

Since finishing, I've instituted a brief reading ban so that I may get other things in life accomplished. 

Sacked out

Like two peas in a pod...
