Packet doesn't like when I bake

Packet doesn't like when I bake
Baking means that I waste a lot of time doing things in the kitchen that don't include feeding her. Also, MEET MY SKATES.

Packet gives FULL ATTENTION to Pawz

Packet gives FULL ATTENTION to Pawz
I took a video, too, but it was actually just 58 seconds of this. I don't know what Pawz was saying, but he got her attention.

When people post videos like this on YouTube, no wonder cats sit around watching videos of chicks all day.

Packet is the Honey Badger

Packet is the Honey Badger
Because this is a cat that doesn't give a shit. A nap had to be taken RIGHT THEN, and she was the one for the job, even if it meant she had to anchor herself with claws to stay on top of the pile of blankets and pillows.

Cat picture!

Look who decided to grace me with her presence tonight! She doesn't seem to think it warrants picture-taking and big-deal-making like I do.

7 Days - Day 5 - Touch the white paw.

7 Days - Day 5 - Touch the white paw.
Packet would strongly prefer that I *not* touch the white paw, but it's 7 Days and I'm going to.

7 Days - Day 1

7 Days - Day 1
Sitting in a comfy chair, listening to the 11th Sookie book, and knitting...while Packet wreaks havoc on the computer desk.

True Blood starts 6/25. I'm so glad the books are so different from the series. It's like getting twice the story.

Hi, 7 Days!

Could be playful, could be murderous.

Packet loves this chair. I do, too. I bought it over 10 years ago, and she's been sharpening her claws on it and climbing it for 8.5 of those years. It should be marketed as 98% cat-proof (there are a couple of threads sticking out). Anyway, one of Packet's favorite games is 'MAKE THE CHAIR MORE FUN!', which involves me putting my fingers anywhere near the back of the chair so she can slice them into ribbons.

How that cat can stand all that hair, I'll never know.

Packet in the window

Packet in the window
There's very little that tickles me more than putting warm-from-the-dryer laundry on Packet. I can actually see her thought process go 'OMG can't you just leave me al--Hey, that's really quite nice. I, uh, what was I saying?'

She gets her own computer chair, yes.

Old photo. Somehow, the LOLcat version didn't make it to Flickr.

Packet has a fancy new box to sit in. Here, she is waiting for me to pick up the box and carry her around the apartment.

I love that she lets me do this

If I think she's chilly, I throw a pillowcase over the cat.

Day 4: a rousing game of KILL-IT
Packet likes when I tap my fingers on this chair because it makes very interesting tappity noises. And just to prove that she's smarter than I give her credit for, she knows to keep her claws *in* when she bats at my hand, otherwise I'll stop playing.

Packet and I both prefer that computer chair, so when she sits in it I make a point of tormenting her. She's not a very cuddly-needy cat, so it's pretty funny to see what she'll put up with before she has to escape with her dignity.

She went outside on the deck today. She kept trying to get back inside through this door, but it's not ours.

What? I can't hear you; I have a cat-ass in my ear.

I thought she was looking at the camera. Or, maybe she is and I don't know how to aim. Either way, today wasn't an inspired day for photography because I spent too much time in my pajamas playing with the computer and with the rest of the yarn for my mom's sweater.

Packet is SO BRAVE!

Packet is SO BRAVE!
We asked a lot of her this weekend, but she was great. She and Katie got along, and Packet even sat on the air mattress that Katie was sleeping on--while Katie was on it! Maybe she really was listening last week when I kept telling her that Aunt Katie was going to visit soon.

Oh, boy! Condensation! My favorite!

I was going to use this for my 7 Days-Cold photo, but by the time I got a shot in focus, I wasn't in the shot anymore.

7Days.1 - Hey Packet, guess what time it is again!

7Days.1 - Hey Packet, guess what time it is again!
[Packet]: Aw, crap. Already?

Today was one of those 7 Days days where I left the house, thought about taking a picture at the store, decided I'd do it later, got home, thought about taking a picture, decided I'd do it later, and repeated this process until 11pm, when I thought, 'OMG, it's 7 Days today!'

Good, because I don't know what to put in a protein shake.

You can't really see it in the first photo, but there's an asterisk next to 'got cocoa?' which explains why this side of the mug also has one. The bottom of the mug is signed, dated, and says, 'It's a FACT: Kristen is funny,' but I can't show you that until I finish drinking my shake.

Lookit what I got!

Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:29:10 GMT

Lookit what I got!
The wonderfully talented Bethany sent me my very own Dotty Mug! While I'm out of cocoa supplies for the summer (not that it's too hot for it right now), it's a good large mug that is perfect for my protein shakes. When I took this, I thought Packet was just sniffing the mug, but on further review, she's actually trying to drink the protein shake. Oops.

7 Days, Day 4 - PLAY.

7 Days, Day 4 - PLAY.
I've been distracted and maybe lazy regarding this run of 7 Days, so I missed Day 3. Last night, Packet reminded me that playing is good for the soul. Well, for hers. And only if I'm doing it right. Which means, 'Quit taking pictures and make the string move!'

7 Days, day 1

7 Days, day 1
My back's all hurty, and it was colder out today, so I just stayed in and didn't do anything creative for the first day like I'd wanted to. None of the self-portraits I took were entirely in focus, either, so I just picked the cutest one of Packet and played with it. Check out her psychedelic right eye and her lips. They crack me up :)

It's still too chilly to open the window, but she likes to soak up the sunshine when it's there.

What I see when I wake up
Packet wakes me up by jumping from the bed to the cat shelf, and when I open my eyes, this is my view.

Packet, watching a documentary on cats

Packet, watching a documentary on cats
We should order Animal Planet just so Packet has something to watch all day. She is seriously into wildlife documentaries. I had to pull up a chair for her to sit in because my lap wasn't good enough and she had to sit like a prairie dog when she sat on the floor. What a princess.

Packet, spellbound by a PBS documentary on wolves

Packet, spellbound by a PBS documentary on wolves
She sat right there for about 25 minutes straight, following the stories about the wolves and other animals of Yellowstone. Occasionally, she'd look from the TV to her window, like she was wondering how come HER window never has elk and bison in it.

She made sure to sit right on my spindle so it wouldn't go anywhere. Even if I wanted it to.

Sitting at the computer, Packet's behind me on Her Chair (all of the chairs are Her Chair).

It all had to pass inspection first

In the time it took me to get the camera and turn it on, Packet decided everything was OK and she went over to her dish to start eating; however, she insisted on smelling everything before she'd let me put any of it away. She's more thorough than the border guards.

The ear swiveled in my direction when I turned the camera on, so I know she was posing for this.

Dishtowels make perfect Packet capes.

Dishtowels make perfect Packet capes.
It's like having a really fuzzy James Brown running around the house. She'd never willingly get in a hot tub, but she's awfully dramatic and she enjoys having someone put a cape on her so she can throw it off while she begs for food. I guess she's got soul. She digs the blues - she's loved Pink Floyd ever since she was a kitten.

I hate plastic bags. I hate them, and you can't make me like them.

I don't even want to be NEAR a plastic bag. You can't make me, and I'll run away if I hear one crinkling. Plastic bags are evil, and scary, and ...what?

You can't see how wet it is. She licked it for 10 minutes straight during the IIHF World Juniors gold medal game (USA! USA! USA!).

7 Days, Day 6
I dunno, I thought she'd feel left out. Judging from the 'make her stop with the cocoa' look she's giving the camera, though, perhaps I overestimated her holiday spirit.

7 days, Day 3

7 days, Day 3
I went to bed way after midnight, so I took my Day 3 picture before falling asleep. Packet has started claiming the feather pillow as her own and sleeping there, sometimes all night. She used to sleep at the foot of the bed, but I can get rather kicky when I sleep, so she's moved to the head of the bed. (Note: this is one of the reasons Darren has his own bed; apparently my knees will seek and destroy anything soft, fleshy, and precious while I'm happily dreaming away. Another reason is that we sleep on different schedules.)

The Packet, she likes to look pretty

Especially when she sits next to the window on a cold, cold winter's day.

Creature comforts, indeed

I draped a toasty-warm-from-the-dryer shirt over Packet. At first she was all WTH R U DOIN but then she was all OOOOOOH DASS NICE.
