Folks, I've had this blog almost a year now, and I have never properly introduced my family! I'm remedying this problem immediately.
Note: Everyone is of course protected by clever aliases, because ALIASES ARE COOL.
I'll begin with the human...
Captain Nemo
Favorite Human Food: Chicken
Theme Song: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Characteristic Moment: Sleeptalking while insisting he's awake (the trick is to ask a question that requires an answer other than yes or no. If he replies "because I've lost all my teeth" or some other nonsense in an irritated, DUH tone of voice, you know he's sleeping).
Comments: Captain Nemo is very cheerful when awake, and a grumpy grizzly when asleep. Unfortunately, he spends much time sleeping during my most wakeful hours, 10 PM-2 AM.
Further Comments: In addition to looking handsome, bringing home the bacon, and pwning noobs online, Captain Nemo formats my ebooks and keeps me supplied with ice cream cake. He's a good man.
The Gray Lady
Favorite Human Food: Bread
Theme Song: Eye of the Tiger
Characteristic Moment: Sitting in the sink, falling into the bathtub (she has a water obsession), catching nasty roaches and proudly bringing them to the bedroom.
Favorite Thing: Being brushed.
Comments: I don't know if you can see how fat she is in this picture, but she's a TUBBY little girl.
Further Comments: The Gray Lady is Captain Nemo's favorite.
Even Further Comments: The Momma does not have favorites, because she is a good parent.
Foxcat
Favorite Human Food: Milk, Chicken, Fish, Steak, Pasta, Yogurt, etc (All food, really. Anything he can get his greedy little paws on...)
Theme Song: Shake Your Tail Feather
Characteristic Moment: Incessant begging for food. Being put in the garage so everyone else can have some peace and quiet while they eat. Also, sleeping.
Least Favorite Thing: Being brushed.
Comments: Captain Nemo has a love/hate relationship with Foxcat,* who is mostly a Momma's boy. Personally, I don't know how anybody could hate such a beautiful little kitten. But I will admit I'm slightly biased.
Further Comments: Foxcat is only about 9 months old, and he already towers over his full-grown sister-cat. Such a big, fluffy boy :-)
*I suspect this is due to the fact that Foxcat tends to puke on his shirts.
Well, that's my family! As you can see, I like taking pictures of the baby kitties. :-) :-)

What a fun and clever post! So nice to meet the family. And can I just say how sorry I am for you that roaches encroach on your domain. We don't have them. Though we have the occassional scorpion...hmmm.

Captain Nemo sounds like a keeper and your kitties are cute :)
ReplyDeleteKai: FORTUNATELY my kitties keep the roaches at bay. We also have a very dedicated bug man who has made many trips to the house. TBH, I'd rather have roaches than scorpions, b/c at least roaches are poisonous. But we have black widows (in abundance, I might add) and they are just as bad I think.
ReplyDeleteSarah: Thanks!! He is and they are :-) :-)
