This cosy scene this morning reminded me of Sled’s Catma Sutra series. Cute, innit?

Isn’t this the greatest? You may recall that there was an intriguing prettily-wrapped gift in Sledpress‘s Christmas package, and I don’t know how I did it, but I actually managed to hold off opening it until Christmas Eve… and it was a Corkcicle!
Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather. Yeah, I know I posted something here about it, but it never occurred to me that someone would actually get one and sneakily send it to me for Christmas.
As you can see, Loki loves it too because it’s orange like him (extra nice touch with Sled picking out my favourite colour). I can’t wait now for BBQs on the rooftop.
What was your favourite Christmas present this year?

I came across this short video in my files while looking for something else and my heart stopped for a moment. I took this just over a year ago, one afternoon when Azar had been feeling poorly and came over to me for some comforting. And so here is one more snibble with my darling boy. I can still feel his soft soft fur and how he’d rub his cheek against my hand…

Well who doesn’t remember my latest IKEA saga, when I first bought this bed and after getting it home and going through two days of IKEA hell ended up with drawers that didn’t fit in the frame!
About a month later IKEA sent out a couple of guys to replace the frame, but they ended up fixing the original one so that – finally! – my bed looked like this and everything worked. Except it turns out that perhaps it works too well…
Yesterday morning I was enjoying a Sunday lie-in until I heard a soft whooshing sound, like the sound the closet door makes when it rolls along the runners in its metal frame. Except I had kitten-proofed my sliding closet doors by placing a plank of wood between the two outer doors so that Luna couldn’t open them and start noisily rifling though everything during the night. Then I heard the whooshing sound again, and then again, so I got up and saw that Luna had learned to open the goddamn bed drawers! *sigh*
Yet another of those “there goes life as we know it” moments that happen so often to those of us who live with cats. But the clincher came a few minutes later when there was more whooshing followed by some seriously frantic scuffling and scrabbling. Turns out Luna has not only learned how to open the bed drawers, but she also knows how to close them… with Loki inside! How did I not notice the now obvious design flaw which has a small opening there just big enough to both arouse curiosity and allow a little paw to fit through? I have to admit that my discovery of a very flustered Loki inside my drawer was pretty funny, though I’m sure the hilarity of this activity will decline with frequency of occurrence, especially in the wee hours.
