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.
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.
For most of my life, April Fools day would pass me by and I wouldn’t even notice. But, there is always a cause for celebration when you are celebrating with movies, and on April 1st we watch April Fool’s Day (1986). April Fool’s Day is a wonderful little mystery slasher featuring Deborah Foreman of Valley Girl, Real Genius, and a cart load of other films from my 80s childhood. Happy April Fools!
At the last minute we remembered that Killer Party (1986) should also join our celebration. Killer Party was originally going to be called either Fool’s Night or April Fool but was changed when April Fool’s Day was released by Paramount Pictures. Happy April Fools!
Spasmo
April 1st is also when we have estimated Spasmo’s birthday to be. So, Happy Birthday Spasmo!
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:
