Mad Times

I seldom see Alice quite as conked out as she was here.

Hey look, someone lolcatted Alice. Not exactly a gem of the genre, and you’d have a hard time pulling a more boring picture from my archives, but still, my little girl is all famous. <sheds a little tear>

For those who don’t know what lolcats are, here’s a link to the Wikipedia writeup. icanhascheeseburger.com is one of the better sources of quality lolcattage. I’ve been subscribed to their RSS feed for a while and was only a little startled to see my own cat in the feed this afternoon. To be honest, I’m a little surprised it’s taken this long. Of course I might be missing some other captioned versions of our kitties. Seems like some of these nutty pictures are just begging for it.

I know this looks like it was taken moments after the last cat picture I posted a couple of weeks ago, but you’ll have to trust me that they were taken almost two weeks apart. Sorry about posting so many sleeping pictures. I need to get the camera out on one of the rare occasions when they’re conscious.

Same box as last week (different cat).

The ribbon (actually the webbing from an old bike helmet) attached to the stick is Theo’s current favorite toy. His pillow is a spiky “zoom groom” brush, also a current fave.

Peaches was my sister’s cat, given to her by her room mate/landlord when she was a little kitten. Sis moved home and then back out again and as often happens in such situations, Peaches stayed with my folks. They had the sad duty today of deciding that Peaches’ health had gotten bad enough that she wasn’t going to get better.

You were kind of a psycho, Peaches, but we’ll miss you anyway.
