Cat profiles

Cat profiles published on No Comments on Cat profiles

This is just some gratuitous cat love. I thought it would be a hoot to illustrate cat personalities by the commands we use for them every week. And then I thought the post was missing a heap of cat photos, so I added them. You are welcome.

Travels of a bunny

It sometimes happens that the smallest cat in the house likes the biggest toys. Spasmo is like that. She will tear through the house carrying a stuffed bunny the size of her own head, moving it from room to room.

Holidays in the Movies: May Day

Holidays in the Movies: May Day published on No Comments on Holidays in the Movies: May Day

May Day, celebrating the vibrancy of spring, is directly preceded by Walpurgis Nacht. So our movie watching in celebration will be taking both of these holiday’s into account with a couple of pairs:

  • La Noche de Walpurgis (1971) – released in the US as The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman and also known as Werewolf Shadow, is the fifth in a series of movies about Waldemar Daninsky, played by Paul Naschy.
  • El Retorno de Walpurgis (1973) – is the seventh in the same series about werewolf Waldemar Daninsky.
  • Ritual of Evil (1970) – sequel to Fear No Evil (1969) and following the supernatural investigations of psychiatrist Dr. Sorrell.
  • The Devil Rides Out (1968) – occultists are baptized into their new lives on Walpurgisnacht in the late 1920s.
  • The Wickerman (1973) – famous folk horror movie; there is nothing more to say.
  • The Wicker Tree (2011) – created as a companion piece to the 1973 The Wickerman.
Gorgon

Admittedly, the Wickerman and Wicker Tree movies do not get all that much play in our house, so to make up for that we look for comfortable filler like the Hetty Wainthropp Investigates “Widdershins” episode and Midsomer Murders “Straw Woman” (thematically appropriate, though not sure if it is actually based on May Day)

May Day also happens to be Gorgon’s birthday – decided by mathematical estimate, though not witnessed. Happy birthday Gorgon!

Happy Christmas

Introducing kittens

Introducing kittens published on No Comments on Introducing kittens

I was not very into sharing when my beloved Crisco and Sparkles passed on last year. After a kitty-less Christmas and many months of coming home to an empty house, Richard and I have adopted kittens (months ago now). I thought it was high time to formally introduce them. This is Gorgon and Spasmo.

They’ve got some growing and learning left to do, Spasmo only just figured out she could push unlatched doors open, but they have given us hints at what crazy characters they are going to be. I’m sure they will begin to crop up in all sorts of drawings after the co-dependency training is complete.

Crisco and Sparkles will live on in their comic incarnations:
