Stayed up too late watching The Titan on Netflix, brushed my fangs and got ready to get in bed, and this is what I found:
This fucking guy. Apparently Steve has figured out how to tuck himself into bed.

Such a handsome kitty.
piratedan
he seems to querying if you brought him any treats to consume…
MisterForkbeard
Dawww. Kitty needs snuggles.
Even if trying gets you scritched, it’d be worth it.
Emerald
That handsome cat owns you and your home. Ask permission from him to enter the bed. Clearly, he knows he is in charge.

Our poor Annie had some major problems keeping herself groomed while we were getting her pemphigus under control so, while she seems to be feeling a lot better, we’re probably going to have to get her shaved to get rid of all of the mats. Poor kitty.
(She was not letting us or Keaton groom her while she was feeling unwell, so she’s really a mess. She’s pretty much Steve’s twin at 1/3rd scale.)

Completely OT, but I just re-watched Zombieland again. I’m liking the gratuitous violence that I did when it first came out 6 years ago, but holy hell does that last battle scene with Tallahassee just work perfectly. It’s the ideal capstone to the rest of a great movie.
Though I can’t watch Jesse Eisenberg without thinking of Jared Kushner, for some reason. They seem just as equally socially awkward.

I have a cat taking a nap on my right leg right now. I am rendered immobile, unable to fetch The Girl and resume practising blues progressions. For some reason, I don’t mind this.

Proper authoritahs shall be alerted. And don’t you dare move him.

I just woke up after falling asleep on the floor in front of the wood burner, Anze the Dog was snuggling next to me. The big bastard was indignant when I decided to get up.

It’s cold for kittehs in West By God Virginia, so never you mind the poor creature. I’m sure there is space at the foot of the bed.
EBT
Four weeks, 450+ backgrounds for my interactive fiction done.
MisterForkbeard
@EBT: Oooh. Writing a visual novel, or something else?
EBT
@MisterForkbeard: Large scale CYOA style interactive fiction, with 3 character stats, combat I wrote from scratch, an inventory, status effects, lots of event flags, unlockable bestiary, saving and loading your game, and a philosophy of failing forward so no arbitrary game overs just cause you went right instead of left. 102K words into it so far, wrote the whole engine from scratch in JavaScript/HTML/CSS. Taught myself the JavaScript of a website three years ago to do it too.
My first Arc is 60K words and people tell me to publish it first and add on later.
MisterForkbeard
@EBT: That’s rad. Sounds like a slightly more forgiving (and digital) version of the old Lone Wolf books. Make sure you let us all know when you have test versions, or release it. :)
AxelFoley
Looks like he’s giving you that “Come hither, big boy…” look, Cole.
What have you two really been doing?
EBT
@MisterForkbeard: Yeah, it’s something like those or Fighting Fantasy. Cool part about it being JavaScript is that it’s been playable for over a year in its current form. Out of the 812 numbered sections for the first 60K word arc I have roughly 650 backgrounds in some form (the 150 backgrounds from last summer are mostly crap and need to be redone but are better than nothing mostly, while some have none). Just a couple bugs left to squash (one involving the scrolling not automatically going to the bottom, the other involving some special logical cases not firing correctly if you load a game on the sections they occur) and maybe add in achievements? Maps for some of the areas, there is a mine segment that people say can be disorienting? Maybe images for items in the inventory.
Jewish Steel
D’aw. That look! He could not love and trust you more.

Clever kitty ?

Most of my cats over the years have been ‘burrowers’…they know where it’s warmest. The most frequent burrower is my cat that looks just like Steve, except he’s got 4 white paws and a curly white belly. At least Steve hasn’t resorted to pulling your hair to get his breakfast.
Jay
Surrender to your Overlord and it will all be cool, or tuna.
rikyrah
Steve still scares me, but, this is sorta cute, Cole.?
opiejeanne
He’s a lovely boy, Steve is.
I have hope that my cat (or cats) will help save my sanity, as will gardening and hopefully, baseball. The Angels need to have a better season than last year, it’s just not fair to Mike Trout. I could have screamed at Upton not chasing down that ball he thought was foul and allowing an in-the-park HR.
Ok, maybe baseball isn’t going to help save my sanity.

@opiejeanne: I was taking pics of Downtown and Dodger Stadium from the park above the stadium Sunday during the Dodger-Giants game(Dodgers won 9-0). You could hear the stadium PA quite easily up there.
BillinGlendaleCA
Here’s one of the pics I took.

@BillinGlendaleCA:
Love the picture. So much going on. The colors don’t seem real.

Condolences on the resultant demise of brain cells. Guardian review.

@sukabi:
We have a kitty that goes a step further than pulling my hair to wake me up. She tries to eat my hair.
No matter how much hair a cat has, they make a beeline for the warmest spots in the house. When the fireplace is on, they sprawl as close as they can get to the heat. I feel bad for hairless cats.

Sam Worthington is a male Elizabeth Rohm. He was in the Manhunt miniseries which was only saved from his emote-less acting by the outstanding performance of Paul Bettany.

Steve is extending the Paw of Friendship, Cole. What more could you want?
The Pale Scot
I love the paw on the pillow, “This is my side of the bed”
The Lodger
@EBT: For a moment I thought CYOA meant Cover Your Own Ass. Time for coffee.
Damned at Random
I pity the woman who tries to take Steve’s place

As others said, some cats learn how to burrow into covers. We have (in wintertime) a sheet, a thick quilt, topped by a down comforter. One of the cats likes to get in under the feathers, and the other just likes to plop down in a particularly fluffy spot and sink into the down. Best if it’s between someone’s legs. If we had a king instead of a queen the dogs would join is all up there.

I see a contented cat who adores you.
