Since I’ve got nothin’ going on and just can’t think of a thing to write about, y’all are stuck with nothin’ but cats for today. Maybe something exciting will happen tomorrow! (Noooot holding my breath.)
The other night, we were hanging out with the kittens before bed, and Greg Brady was climbing up the front of Fred’s shirt.
“Have you ever noticed that Greg Brady always looks like he wants to cut a bitch?” I said. Fred laughed and laughed, and now every time he sees Greg Brady he laughs again, because it is TRUE.
“Is Greg Brady gonna have to cut a bitch?”
I think that things with Jan and Bobby are improving. There’s still plenty to clean up in their cage when I go in every few hours, but they’re actually using the litter box now, thank god. Last night at their evening snack time, Jan bellied up and ate a lot. She showed some of her old attitude, running around with a toy, tossing it in the air, picking a fight with Greg. I gave both she and Bobby baths last night, but they only needed their feet and tails cleaned off a little, which was a HUGE improvement.
(These pictures are from last week, still.)
Jan in the Jan Cave, with Marcia approaching.
“I SAY, ‘Paws up, y’all!'”
(Bobby’s all “Come ON, I want my turn!”)
Jan and the mouse. She LOVES that mouse, can you tell?
Jan puts Greg in his place. (Peter, in the background, tries to pretend nothing’s going on.)
Bobby at the water bowl. How many bowls do you think these guys tipped over before I realized they were basically laying across the side of the bowl to drink water? (Way too many, is the answer.) And it’s not because the water level was low or anything – they just like to be comfy when they’re drinking!
“Where shall I make trouble next?”
That Cindy Brady (looking up at me) just cracks me up. She’s the sweetest, most laid-back, loving little girl. (Her head doesn’t usually look quite so round. I believe she was wearing a collar and it was pushing some of her fur upwards to give her that basketball-head look.)
All the super-comfy cat beds in the house, and these two fight over who gets to sleep on the corrugated cardboard scratch pad. Weirdos.

Did you put up the entry early because you’re nearly underwater? Holy CRAP, there’s a lot of rain out there…
No kidding – the back 40’s half under water. I’m expecting G&G to sprout shark fins!
Does Greg Brady have to cut a bitch? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Still making me giggle
He DOES look like he has a bit of the serial killer gene in him!
Too funny!
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” I LOVE your funny insigthful writing but kittens pictures are a treat too!
marcia’s gonna look a lot like my ShellBee when she grows up.
It’s the shape of Greg’s eyes, plus the God-given eyeliner around them, that makes him look so intense. The other Bradys’ eyes have a softer look.
Not that I’m obsessed with looking at kitten pictures or anything.
Greg looks is the bad boy women adore. All he needs is a tiny leather jacket.
P.S. I love your door mat–looks like the LL Bean waterhog. We don’t even have one now because one (or more) of the cats loves to pee on them…
That should read Greg IS the bad boy…
Robyn, I have a blog question – is your calendar-style archive display on the front page a WordPress plug-in? If so, do you know the name of it? I don’t think I have seen it on any other blog – I am thinking I will finally start my own blog, and I am modeling it after all of the COOLEST sites out there – i.e., lots of cat pictures, etc….do you have any idea? Thanks!!
Glenda, I don’t think it’s a plug-in, I *think* it’s just the way the designer made the theme. I can’t guarantee that I didn’t make Fred create some sort of plug-in for me, but I’m somewhat certain the theme came that way. Don’t you like how I gave you an extremely unhelpful answer there?
