The Unbearable Cuteness Of Being
In two weeks, Casey the kitten (full name Casey Underfoot) has managed to worm his way into everyone's affections, to the extent that even my usually taciturn father has been sighted jiggling around singing "Look, Caseykins, nice juicy slippers!" (The cat is obsessed with his house slippers and stalks them incessantly. The rest of us theorize that they must need a wash.) Meanwhile, my mother, whose nine cats of her youth never knew vets, worming tablets, or flea powder, has borrowed three cat books out of the library and we're taking him to the vet for his first checkup this week.
At dinner today, Yuping informed me that she wanted more kitten photos, and I'm only too happy to oblige.
Not quite heavy enough to get snipped...yet
I call this one Reclining Nude
Snug, bug, rug
To anyone getting sickened by all this cuteness, I can't promise you less kitten pictures, but I will at least point you in the direction of Clay Kitten Shooting, where my current high score is 76. Beat that, mofos.

Posted by: Yups at September 8, 2004 12:06 PMYou need to post something on the new Bjork album or a recent Russian art house film that you saw to balance all this out. You're slipping.
Posted by: Benny at September 8, 2004 1:54 PMWished I could keep a cat at home, but damn those HDB rules!
Posted by: D W at September 8, 2004 2:49 PMI'm with Benny. More trendy high-brow stuff please!
Posted by: Matt at September 8, 2004 4:22 PMHey, the title of the post referenced a high-brow Czech novel which I don't even like! Surely you must acknowledge this was at least vaguely pretentious and hipsterish.
And Benny, I promise you I'll watch and blog about the next Russian arthouse film that gets shown here since the last one was so glorious, but don't hold your breath for any commentary on Bjork at all. I'm not a fan.
Posted by: Michelle at September 8, 2004 4:40 PMYeah but the other cat post was a beatles song reference, so I think that cancels it out.
Posted by: Matt at September 10, 2004 1:47 AMBut the Beatles song it referenced was about sex!
Posted by: Michelle at September 10, 2004 2:01 AMAs Dextor would say, It is not kyoooot! Whilst Dee Dee pirouettes around him while giggling.
Yeah, Benny, Michelle's not a Bjork fan. (I was about to write Bjork's not a Michelle fan.) I, however, am. Haven't got around to buying the album yet.
Love the Clay Kitten Shooting. More of this please. The creator should allow you to use photos of your own kitty to shoot. (Tongue firmly in cheek.) :-)

Posted by: Russ at September 13, 2004 8:44 AMSurely naming your post about your cat after a song about sex invokes an entirely new discussion?
