Starting to feel better, although the warned-about subdermal bruising is creeping me out a bit. Kitties were happy to see us return yesterday, though:



"Oh, you were gone?" Also, from Robin, it's the Revenge of the Cat:




Somehow I wouldn't have pictured Sylvester doing this...

I'm getting worse at this lately; will try to step it up. As you can see, the cats couldn't care less that I'd be away from home overnight:



Yep, those are comics in the background, moved to the living room temporarily so I can do my biennial sorting...

Happy Friday the 13th, you friggatriskaidekaphiles (or, if you prefer, paraskevidekatriaphiles) out there! And what would Friday the 13th be without a black cat?



Oh, okay, and his "sister" in the background. Must go now, the big tuxdeo boy is demanding attention. Again.

Datsa has a number of favorite spots in the living room; Robin's recliner is one of them:



I love how you can just see the one eye peeking out. But I felt like being "cruel" to him this weekend with our coach pillows. Voila, a kitty sandwich!



What I do for "art." Speaking of which, Jamal was kind enough to invite Robin and me to a "non-con" last weekend for a number of pros and plus-ones who weren't in San Diego. Here's a photo Val D'Orazio snapped of Robin and his sketch, donated to our hosts at MoCCA:



Here's Val's post on the event. (In case you can't read the captions pointing off panel, which were my contribution, they're dialogue from Rocky Horror: "I don't like men with too many muscles..." "I didn't make him for you!") I highly recommend bookmarking Occasional Superheroine, by the way, as I can't get the RSS feed any more and I assume nobody else can. Val's been on fire lately, not only regarding Lulu (about which more if I can get up the energy) but about where she sees comics going.

So when I visited Mom last weekend she gave me a casino freebie of a beach towel, which (since I'm not a beachgoer) I use on the bed if I'm feeling particularly in need of a towel for whatever reason. I laid it out this evening whilst I showered in the dark, not knowing when the electricity would return, and wanting to lie down on something soft and absorbent. Amy, of course, had other ideas:



She's such a Trump shill. It makes me wonder if she's angling to be the first Kitty Apprentice on his next show.

Robin took some photos of Amy this morning; this was my favorite:



Of course, that was before he discovered Facebook and became lost to me...

Datsa looked very quizzical in this video I took this morning:



He was also, thankfully, silent. (Sorry about the lack of light, I didn't want any lights to disturb Robin's sleep in the adjoining room. Yes, this adorable feline kept each of us up during different parts of the night. Again.)

Last night I spotted both cats at pretty good angles for picture-taking:





As always, I love the "laser eyes."

Just uploaded to the YouTube:



As the copy on this video says, we're subjected to this every morning, often starting at around 4 AM. This was filmed around 6:30, right after he'd been given his morning pill to help his faulty digestive system. We have to wait 15-20 minutes for the pill to get into his system. It's the longest quarter-hour in the world.

So I went to take a photo of Datsa this morning and discovered a dead camera battery. Fortunately it was, as every Saturday is, Recharging Day, et voila:



Dunno if you can tell from this angle, but I caught him in mid-stretch here.
