An old picture of Tunch (from a year ago- he is a few pounds heavier now):

Don’t let the innocent looks fool you. He is rotten to the core.

And the only color on him is an orange stripey tail and some orange spots on his head, which you can barely make out.

*** Update ***

This is great- a carnival of pets called The Ark (via Smijer), which this week is dedicated to Edloe.

I have a question for cat owners since this is Friday and the appropriate time for cat blogging.

I love my cat, but 99% of the time I can’tget him to pay a lick of attention to me (unless I am sleeping). However, there is one time when he absolutely refuses to leave me alone:

When I am in the bathroom. The minute I get near a toilet seat, he will come running, and he spends the entire time rubbing in between my legs and meowing and being a real nusiance.

I have no idea why. He couldn’t care less when I sit on the couch. He does spend 90% of the day in the same room as me, and sleeps on the printer or on top of the monitor (they are warm) whenever I am at the computer, but he generally ignores me. I already have to hide the toilet paper, since he papered the apartment a couple of times (I am a slow learner). But why the keen interest in me when I am in the bathroom?

Is my cat the only one who does this? My sister’s cat doesn’t do this. Weird.

Here is Mike Krempasky’s statement to the FEC, and here is Kos’s.

Go thank them both.

Edloe, the alpha fat cat of the blogosphere, has passed.

This is the saddest thing I have seen in a long, long time:

Go send Laurence your condolences. I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to Tunch.

I am now finished with season six of Buffy, and working my way through season two of Angel. The last foiur episodes of Buffy season six saved the whole season, IMHO.

I can now say, without watching anymore of the series, that I have decided who my favorite character is. It is, hands down, Drusilla.

Drusilla: I can’t see her. The Slayer. I can’t see. It’s dark where she is. Kill her. Kill her, Spike. Kill her for me?
Spike: It’s done, baby.
Drusilla: Kill her for princess?
Spike: I’ll chop her into messes.
Drusilla: You are my sweet… my little Spike…

Steals the scene every time…
