. . . for various values of “helping”. We’re assembling a couple of storage cabinets, and he’s finding the process fascinating. We don’t necessarily appreciate the help, particularly when he gets underfoot at critical moments, but he seems to regard that as part of the fun! Just wait until I start hanging the shelves. I… Continue reading Ashbutt is “helping” us . . .

I think Ashbutt‘s trying to tell us, “You’d better not be looking at pictures of other cats!” Peter
Worn out
Alma Boykin came down to stay with Miss D. and I over the weekend. Old NFO, Lawdog and the lovely Phlegmmy joined us for the festivities, accompanied by aepilotjim when he wasn’t working. Much fun was had eating at local restaurants, shooting at a local range, and working late assembling (or starting to assemble) a… Continue reading Worn out
Ashbutt has learned about the treadmill desk
Our Blogorado kitten, Ashbutt (now fourteen months old, fifteen-plus pounds, and every inch and ounce of him a kittenish Maine Coon) has discovered the delights of Miss D.‘s treadmill desk. She’ll walk slowly on it while using the computer, and has grown accustomed to a black kitten stalking her footsteps on the mat, reaching up… Continue reading Ashbutt has learned about the treadmill desk
What do you get with laundry hot from the dryer?

He’s about twice Kili’s size and weight. However, she gets her own back with ambush tactics that he still hasn’t… Continue reading The battle for the top of the tree

. . . wash it, tumble-dry it, and put it over the back of a chair to finish drying and air out. What happens next – at least, in this household? Why, it grows a cat, of course! Ashbutt regards any laundry temporarily placed on or draped over furniture – particularly if it’s still warm… Continue reading Take one white mattress cover . . .
Ashbutt helps us unpack
Inevitably, after we got home this morning, Ashbutt decided it was his duty to help us unpack. He enjoyed himself, even if we found his ‘assistance’ a little overwhelming! Peter
“But I was enjoying the peace and quiet!”
Our female cat, Kili, naps on the couch – until a certain large, playful, kittenish presence leaps onto the back of the sofa and looms above her. Talk about a jaundiced look! “Mommy! Make Ashbutt go awaaaaaay!” Peter
Ashbutt, “helping” . . .
. . . to write the next book. Ashbutt’s been particularly playful and kitten-“needy” today, demanding to be picked up and cuddled after a huge thunderstorm scared him early this morning. Oh, well . . . he’s still very much a child, despite his impressive size – coming up ten months old. Peter
