There's always one..

It's been freezing cold here today so most of the cats and dogs have been sprawled in front of radiators, curled up in couches, or, in Yama Dane's case, sleeping so close to the woodstove that her nose hair singed. All was well until it started to snow. Now, I don't know what it is about snow but all of the cats love to sit on the windowsills and watch the snow fall. They all know what it is, they've been out in the cold before, and they're not stupid - they know they prefer it from inside the warm room. Except Cheesecake. This is his first snow day :-)

Exploring the white stuff outside in the run:


He had a good look around to make sure it was definitely everywhere:



Pawprints in the snow:


Thankfully the back of the house is a little more sheltered, I don't think Cheesecake would've been too happy to be out the front in this snow:

It's been a busy couple of weeks since I last blogged. First we had to get back into the routine for work (easier for us than for the Feline Overlords I think, as they'd gotten very used to having human slaves available 24/7) and then actually go back to work. That was the hard bit for the humans!

Workwise, I have a couple of big-ish and several small projects starting up this month, resulting in me being fairly busy with the prep work and not as interactive a human slave as normal. Most of the Feline Horde are used to varying periods of busy and quiet and have either been ignoring me or pointedly tracking me down and getting in the way.

Luci and Bob are ignorers for instance whereas Homer and Mia are very definitely hunting me (Lily is hunting everyone all of the time so nothing new there). I think Cheesecake is going to be a hunter too as he's currently sitting on my chest rather pointedly getting between me and the laptop. It's a good thing that I'm well practised in the art of reading through, around and despite a cat or I'd never get through the background info I need read for tomorrow morning's meeting.

Happy New Year Humans

I hope 2008 was a good year for you for it shall be your last with free will. Mwahahahahaaha. Ha.

Yes, it's true - we've put the finishing touches to our dastardly plan for Feline Overlord-ness and we shall implement it this year. We've run into a few problems to date (mostly those of the warm beds and full bellies kind) and are ashamed to admit that we have fallen behind schedule.

Rest assured lazy humans, we've taken steps to ensure this never happens again (large penalties in Tuna & Chicken flavours mostly) and have included a project plan as well as some incomprehensible pie charts. What more could one need I ask you?
