I SAID, “ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, BOO!”

One White Whisker
Our youngest cat Trixie, a tortoiseshell with one white whisker. She had three as a kitten but these days usually just one, although its location may move around as one falls out and another grows.
The Handsome Mr. Boo
This portrait of Boo from last fall always makes me smile, which I can use this morning.
Boxless
You might not recognize him since he’s not sitting in a box, but this is our cat Boo.
Detective Samwise
I’m pleased to announce that we’ve begun production on a new TV series called Detective Samwise, a show in the long tradition of slightly silly murder mysteries. Detective Samwise is called in to investigate a string of cat burglaries, in which it turns out actual cats are being stolen. By coincidence our hero detective is himself a cat, so he goes undercover to catch the thief red-handed but finds more than he bargained for when he discovers a murder most foul! We are having some issues with the actress playing our murder victim, however, as while she’s quite good at laying still, she keeps swiveling her ears around so she can hear if craft services has started laying out snacks.
The Scientist
Boo tells me that if he sits real still in this spot he can detect gravity waves. I’m 90% sure he’s putting me on.
Public Service Announcement
Experts warn that as the weather warms, look before you reach into dark places like woodpiles or linen closets, as dangerous creatures may have crept in to sleep in the safety and comfort of these secluded areas.
Light in Darkness
The truth will out.
A Circle of Sam
Our snuggly Sam curls up in my lap as the afternoon sun streams in from my office window.
Let the Belly Rub Commence!
Sam sometimes likes to hold my hand as he’s about to fall asleep, a trait he shares with Emma, and while he does like the occasional belly rub he doesn’t love them the way she did (or our first cat Templeton, who was crazy for them). One of the things that surprised me having cats the past couple of decades has been how different their personalities are, it’s fun to learn how best to delight each of them. I’ve also been surprised by how affectionate they are, I was not expecting that based on the stories I often heard, but my lap is rarely empty (Trixie is asleep there now).
