Boo inspects my new backpack. Fortunately Emma, who had snuck into the main compartment, fled before Boo sat on it.

CAT133 “Tandem Dog Bed Stealing”
If you’ve mastered the art of solo dog bed stealing, why not double your fun? In this class Professor Boo will teach you how to snuggle, spoon, and stick your feet in your best friend’s face!
CAT132 “Advanced Dog Bed Stealing”
Do you steal your dog’s bed, only to find the dog has enough room to snuggle up and impinge on your personal freedoms? Then this class is for you! Professor Boo will show you how one little cat can take up an entire dog bed, leaving plenty of room for you to roll around, or if you’d prefer, get nice and comfortable.
CAT131 “Basic Dog Bed Stealing” is a required prerequisite for this class. Professor Boo takes no responsibility if your dog is a meanie and eats you.
Let’s Face It, I’m Adorable
No argument, Boo, no argument. Taken last year after his second month with us.
No Worries
Boo in November at about a year old. This picture makes me laugh when I think about the terrified little kitten we brought home just four months prior.
The Prisoners
When Ellie and I got back from her evening walk to the dog park, I noticed all three cats watching us enviously from the open window in my office.
A Year of Boo
It was one year ago today that we adopted a seven-month old black-and-white kitten named Bronco from the Oregon Humane Society. We renamed the shy little fellow Boo and slowly introduced him to the other pets over the course of a month. He was so terrified when we first met that he shook like a leaf, so it’s been fun to see him become a part of our family. On this afternoon in April, he and Sam snuggled up together on my legs.
My allergies flared up unexpectedly this spring so I spent much of my time the past few months relaxing with the pets draped on me, rather than writing or editing pictures. An unproductive time but not an altogether unpleasant one.
Did Someone Order a Box of Boo?
If you’re a very important customer, Amazon sends you a free cat bed with nearly every order.
The Return of the Snuggle Fiend
Sam used to spend his days either curled up in my lap or in the heated bed beside our cat Scout, but her death over a year ago was pretty hard on him. At first he snuggled with me more than ever but then started spending much of his time on his own. Gradually he returned to me more and more and now can usually be found curled up in my lap, and at night follows me up to bed.

Sam & Boo
Sam had been sleeping on my legs when Boo, who had been with us for about six months, came in and snuggled up tight with him. I thought Sam would get up but instead they both fell fast asleep. I wanted to snap a picture as a reminder of how our slow introduction of the shy little Boo had paid off, and thankfully had my EOS M beside me on the couch.
The M doesn’t have an articulating screen so I held the camera out blind and hoped for the best. Thankfully I had the zoom lens attached as it has image stabilization, I needed to stop down to increase the depth of field and in the low room lighting even at ISO 3200 ended up with a shutter speed of a third of a second. It doesn’t combat the blur from their breathing but it did help quite a bit with camera shake.
