How Does he Do That?First, how does he sit like that? It looks like he has no bones in his body.
And second, how does he get his eyes to glow two different colors like that? I backed away very slowly after we took this picture. Very scary.

What's That?For me, this position seems rather uncomfortable. But whatever it was he was studying on the floor below made it necessary for Chocolate Chip to strike this pose. He was so preoccupied he didn't even look up when I approached with the camera.

You're Too Late
"This week's photo session has already taken place. I refuse to look at you when you're holding the camera."
Now go visit The Friday Ark.

It's in the Bag
I promise, I did not stage this picture. I was working on the computer and heard some noise. When I turned around, I found he had crawled in and made himself at home. Silly kitty.

Are we that boring?
The cat actually fell asleep while sitting there watching us eat dinner the other night. I guess we need to start cooking more interesting food.

Can I Have Some?

Kitty Wants Cookies"I'll just wait right here, and that way I can get the first cookie."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get busy. I'm hungry."
Go visit The Friday Ark.

Kitty on the CounterAs we all know, cats will seek warmth wherever they can. Chocolate Chip has discovered that the counter gets REALLY warm when we run the dishwasher. He was at it again the other day, so I pulled the camera out.
Oh, God. She's got the camera out again.
Maybe if I don't look at her she'll go away.

Catnip KittyWhile our dog was alive, we could never give the cat his smack because the dog would chew the little mice up, eat the catnip, and then throw up all over the entry tile.
So, we had a few of the toys put up in a basket where the dog couldn't get to them and the cat forgot about them. This morning, I noticed the cat wasn't in his usual spot monitoring the pool area for squirrels, so I took a walk around and found him....with a catnip mouse.
I found my catnip.
Now go away and leave me alone.

Christmas SpiritWe all know that Kagnazsty's taken on a new look for the season. I walked into the kitchen last night, and apparently Chocolate Chip decided to play as well.
Well, at least now we know where Scytheboy's hat is.

Homework Monitor
I promise, mom. I got this. Don't worry about a thing. I'll make sure he gets it all done.
Now get to work. Don't make me come over there.
Now, don't forget to go visith The Friday Ark.

Kitty Inspects the TurkeyHmmm....what do we have here?
I can't really tell....let's see what the other side smells like.
Well, he might not have thought much about the marinade, but we sure did enjoy that creole butter taste!
Go visit the Friday Ark when you get a chance.

I'm Not Too BigI am NOT too big to fit in the napkin basket. See, my tail fits.


Don't make me come over there.


Bam!!
Note to self: Take the cat's threats seriously.

Chocolate Chip is "Kitty of the Week!"Of course, I think my cat is the cutest, most lovable and interesting kitty around. And now this has been validated that Chocolate Chip has received the high honor of being "Kitty of the Week" in the Carnival of the Cats.
Yeah, Chocolate Chip!

Possessive Kitty
I told you, she's mine.
You're dismissed.

Cat ScanEvery morning, Chocolate Chip attends his viewing post, ensuring the squirrels and other creatures out back are kept in line.
For some reason, scanning the limited viewing area from side to side is key.
Also key, apparently, is the purple feather thing....he brings that with him to the table most mornings, keeping it close by his side. The morning these pictures were taken, he gently laid the feather on the props Scytheboy will be using for his Halloween party costume.

A Tasty TreatOh, look. Somebody cut some fresh strawberries for me...
Let me just slide these over so I can get to them better.

It's Not Too SmallLet's see....if I can just make myself a little bit smaller I think this will work.
What are you looking at? I fit in here just fine. Leave me alone.

Go Away
I'm sleeping.

Wine Sentinel
I've been guarding the wine for us. Which one shall we open?

Too Tired to Care
Fine, go ahead. After packing this box, I'm too tired to care.
Don't forget to visit this week's Carnival of the Cats.

I'm ReadyI'm leaving for a trip to Buenos Aires tomorrow, and tonight we were getting suitcases all sorted out. Apparently, Chocolate Chip thought he was going too.
"Well, I'll just wait here until they get ready to close the suitcase."
I don't think so, Chocolate Chip.

Kitty Wants a MealI found some Worcestershire sauce.
Now, go make me something to eat.

Time for BreakfastOh, I'm tired. Let me get some coffee first.
Okay, time to hit those donuts they left for me.
I'm stuffed. They can have the rest.

Self-Packing KittyLet me just climb in here and make myself comfortable.
Now, if I can just get the plastic where it needs to go....
There, I think I've got it.
Okay, I'm ready. Go ahead and close the box.

Recalcitrant CatThis week I thought I'd try my hand at the cat blogging thing. At first he didn't really seem interested...
When he noticed I had the camera out, that's when he started moving.....
It wasn't until I saw this that I realized he had probably had enough of the camera for one day. I'll try and be first next time I try to do this. Don't forget to visit the Friday Ark.

He's Here to HelpWell, you don't expect BOTH of us to do the cat blogging thing, do you?

He's so MeanOkay, I'm not saying Mr. Average caused a negative psychological or physical reaction in our poor innocent kitty. However....our cat....is bulimic. I'm convinced it has something to do with the fact that Mr. Average teased him not three hours ago about being too fat to jump up on the island. And then.....the cat began to spew his guts out all over the carpet. Near the laundry room wasn't so bad, but now he's done it in the dining room of all places. Our poor kitty has low self-esteem and a horrible body image because he now thinks he's too fat to jump up onto the island. Mean Mr. Average....

Cat Blogging via Striving for AverageIt's really more my cat than his. He just uses him for his cat blogging model. Anyway, here's our precious kitty enjoying a new toy.
