Lorax has decided that her favorite new spot is one of my dresser drawers. If I leave this drawer open too long in the morning, presto, it sprouts a cat.

Here’s a tail….

And with a bit of trick photography, we find the rest of the beast!

When I got home this evening, Mel was lounging in this very odd pose.... I went and grabbed the camera, and she actually stayed there for a while so I got some good pictures.

But they're still SO CUTE!
How do they do that little roll-up-in-a-ball thing and still look so happy? Cats have the best smug-and-content expressions....

Mom & Dad just put up new kitty pix. Get thee hither (thither? hence? to flickr!) for a serious dose of cuteness....

Mom has posted some cuuuuuute kitten pictures:

The kittens are on The Ark!

We had a kitty scare this weekend. Our feisty Lorax puked all day Sunday (not unusual now and then, but this was impressive in quantity and frequency) and wouldn't even eat a treat, much less real food. By the end of the day, she was only walking a few feet at a time, and then hunkering down on the floor for a while. She wouldn't jump up anywhere, and was obviously unhappy. This morning, she barely protested being put in the cat carrier (normally a huge battle) and the MO took her off to the vet. It took them all day to figure out that she has a urinary tract infection. They zapped her with an antibiotic, and we have pills to try to get down her throat for the next week. She's not back to normal by a long shot, but is definitely more mobile now than she was yesterday. Poooooor kitty, it's just so odd to see her so subdued.

So for those of you who love the kitties, please think some happy thoughts for the Lorax over the next few days as she recovers. She will reward you by returning to her perch on top of the MO's monitor for more glamour shots ;-)

Mom's cat had her kittens today! Pix ASAP....

Update:

Day 3 - There's a tiny kitty resting on MommaCat's belly.

Almost forgot -- I heard Melvin's theme song on KTRU this morning:

08:17 AM- shonen knife / hot chocolate [happy hour] on the BIG DEAL label

When they sing, "Mel- mel- mel- mel-, mel- mel- mel- mel-, meltiiiiiing" I always hear (and sing) "Mel- mel- mel- mel-, mel- mel- mel- mel-, Melviiiiiiiin" so it's her theme song ;-)

Sadly, the excerpt at Amazon does not play that part....
