And now for something completely different!
Things are a bit gruesome for me at the moment. If you haven’t heard, Governor Ted Strickland of Ohio has created a budget for us that will essentially wipe out half of any funding for libraries – what exactly this will mean for the library I work for, & for myself, is still unknown. The legislature will vote on this next week, but things don’t look especially hopeful.
As a distraction, I thought I’d introduce you to the kitties that inhabit my apartment. Who tend to sleep A LOT.

This is Chase, one of the absolute sweetest, & possibly dumbest, kitties you’ll ever meet. He’s oh-so-cuddly, without being needy or annoying.

Wilson! He’s very bend-y. Also incredibly sweet, but he’ll only cuddle on his own terms – which makes it a wonderful treat when he decides to jump on the couch with you. (Oy, look at all that hair!)

Squeaker, who is technically my other half’s kitty. She’s the old girl who sleeps 27 hours a day, but ironically, is usually wide awake for all my photographs.
Have pictures of your own kitties? Have an adorable sleeping kitty saved on your hard drive? Upload them somewhere (I suggest Tiny Pic) & post ‘em in the comments! I think we could all use a distraction from all the bad news lately, eh?






Isosceles, my baby darling girl. Look at that face! <333
Magic: The Cat, my cuddly purrbox of a boyfriend. He’s so old that he’s starting to lose some fur… but he’s still amazing.
I cannot use the img src tag! Fail!

Chase looks just like my Cole! I don’t have a good picture of him, but maybe I’ll drop by later with it. Until then, in that position I couldn’t tell him apart from Chase.
Pretty cool post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed reading your posts. Any way
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
@ lauren: i see that. *kicks wordpress* what a random tag to not be able to use!
Loved your latest post, by the way.
Your cats are beautiful! Here’s my <a href="“>Goldie, perched on her throne. I haven’t been able to snap a shot of her sleeping yet, in six years of trying.
Well that didn’t work. Trying again:
Hmm. Third time’s the charm. Goldie
@ christina: you have just the prettiest orange i’ve ever seen. she’s so gorgeous!!
