Clover keeps up morale

We’re still on the last couple of steps of converting the cat room, but since the progress is so incremental now that Branden’s not here to help, I'm pretty much out of pictures (lucky you).

Clover went on a cuting spree after we laid the floor in his room on Sunday. He’s really looking forward to moving in!

Special Edition: Cat Room Transformation—Day 2

First board is laid over the subfloor: 2 pictures from opposite corners.
Branden and Fletcher, hard at work. (2 pictures from opposite corners.)
OMG ALMOST THERE. (2 pictures from opposite corners.)
Done! The floor is laid! Now on to baseboards… (4 pics, 1 of each corner.)

Sorry no kitten pics (again) today, folks. But since I am suffering for my art, I guess you have to, too.

Special Edition: Cat Room Transformation—Day 1


Before any work is done.

Branden cutting the carpet at the doorway.

Carpet mostly up now.

Me, rolling a garbage bag full of gross carpet down the stairs.
Hey look, carpet pad!
All that’s left of the carpet pad is the staples that held it to the floor… and even those are going away.
Might as well paint while it's nothing but subfloor…
Pre-paint prep.
After painting! Hard to tell the difference from these pics, but it's large and looks very good.

Sorry no kitten pics today, folks. But since I am suffering for my art, I guess you have to, too.

Buncha sleeping kittens.

Dramatic Lighting Cat

Cricket was adorably sleeping, but to me it looks like he’s auditioning to be a hobbit.

It was late afternoon, see, and the sun splashed
over the floor like warm whiskey. Tayler was just
starting to sip when the broad walked in…

Kitten battlefield—no survivors.

He was cuter a split second before I
took that pic. Now he’s just kinda cute.

I promise, Branden is not holding Clover at gunpoint.

Penny, snoozing on the back of the couch.

Clover, attempting yoga.

Gnar’s centerfold audition.

Black blob grooming party. If you untangle them,
you’ll see there are two kittens in there.

Handsome crotchety-old-man Squish,
fashioning a scarf out of a kitten.

Gnar will take first watch. Penny will do
the essential playing-with-the-blind-pull.

Penny wants to be just like brother Gnar when she grows up. So that she can also see out the window.

Cricket, sleeping with his mouth open. In person,
his tiny fangs made him look quite ferocious.

Quit it! I’m being fierce!
