KITTY!
It's Friday, and just like all the rich and powerful players in the blogosphere, I went and stole a kitten to take pictures of so people would know I have a softer side.
First up, someone being sad because kitty ran to the back of the yard without her--
Awwww.
Here is one with Lightning taking time to stop and smell the roses, or something.
...which, of course, leads directly to stalking and bringing down big game such as sticks.
This stick was especially deserving of being chewed upon, and it needed a good fright, thus requiring Lightning to fuzz his tail up in response.
This morning he was once again in fine fettle, and only slowed down long enough for this shot of him using the watering can as a stalking blind.
Awwwwwww!
AND THUS ENDS ANOTHER FRIDAY EPISODE OF KITTY!!
But wait, there's MORE!
I have on occasion commented about some of the squirrelier people I work with. I stopped by the second floor restroom this morning (the one the engineering guys use) on the way up to my office, and there was something new on the countertop. Sitting atop the built in soap dispensers was this:
Why?
Well, because, I work with some real squirrels.

Miss Tobiko is a spinster lady of mature years (she's 10 now) but her anticing days, I fear for the most part are done. Hum... except when catnip is involved, then all bets are off.

Getting down, however...
