Oscar Likes My Sock: Part 2

So Oscar also likes my socks and I have the video to prove it! It kinda hurts cause he has teeth and claws but it's so darn cute you don't wanna stop it.

Spoon Train

SPOON TRAIN, noun, /spun tran/:
A collection of sleeping people or animals, facing back to front, snuggling.

Oscar nestled himself between me and Billy this morning. It was a spoon train.

I wish we had a picture.

Oscar is so funny!

Yesterday I was using my computer and hunched over a little bit but Oscar wanted attention. Normally he just sits in my lap while I type and that is nice, but he couldn't get to my lap... so he jumped up on my back and hung out there! Oh man. Cats are so funny!

Also, here is a recipe for a drink that me and Emily invented last night. It's called Cat's Meow!!!!! Here's how you make it:
1) Get a glass
2) Put ice cubes in it
3) Take a time out to play with your cat!!!!!!!!!!!
4) Add a whole bunch of Ouzo
5) Add Cranberry Rasberry juice until it looks pretty (maybe equal parts to Ouzo?)
6) Drink it!

Since Ouzo turns white when you add water to it, it will turn a pretty color of pink sorta like the background on this blog. Seriously though, this shit is good.

Cute Things Oscar Did Yesterday

Oscar is cute.

Yesterday Oscar did the following things:

1.) Played with Billy's pajama pants string by himself because it was hanging out of the chimny of the cat house and that was almost like a person holding it for him
2.) Tried to race me to the kitchen
3.) Pooped in a box (he's so smart!)
4.) Came and snuggled with me after Billy left early in the morning for a business trip to England because he knew I was lonesome

He's the best.

Also, this is sort of unrelated, but I was telling my dad about how good Oscar is at being nice when people are sad and he told me about his friend's dog Sammy, who is a therapy dog. She goes to old folks homes and hospitals and stuff and cheers people up! And she even goes to schools and libraries and helps kids who have trouble reading. The kids read to Sammy, and Sammy listens (and also, Sammy's owner Linda stands behind the kid with a treat) and wags her tail and then they like to read! How cool is that?

Animals are the best.

Oscar Likes My Sock

My mom hates cats because she's allergic but she used to have this online boutique where she sold gifts and stuff and now she doesn't really run the website anymore but she is left with a basement full of gifts with nobody to give them to. We saw her last weekend and she gave us a present for Oscar. Sort of like a "welcome to the family" present. It was a cat bed with a catnip-filled pillow. So Oscar freaking loves the cat bed. And I came home from work yesterday and he was playing with the pillow in a really cute way. He was like holding the pillow with his front paws and kicking it with his back paws so that it spun around in his hands. And he was also periodically biting it. He's really into this pillow.

So then this morning I was walking around the house in my socks, making coffee, making lunches, etc. So usually when I stand at the sink washing things or whatever, Oscar comes over and rubs up on my legs and sometimes rolls onto his back on my feet and hangs out. But this morning he got kind of out of control and like attached himself to one of my feet and did the thing that he was doing with the pillow last night. He grabbed my foot with his front paws and then kicked it with his back paws and bit my sock. It didn't hurt and was mostly super cute but also I'm afraid he was trying to hump me.

But I don't know how cats hump.

Also here's a picture of our little gentleman taking a nap:

Kitty House

So last night I got my new computer and computers come in boxes. Cats love boxes! Oscar was in it within seconds of me emptying the thing. Emily and me immediately got out the duct tape and scissors and made it into a proper kitty house. It even has a chimney! Pictures below. Oh yeah after that I played with the computer.
