Hail! Hail! The Queen of the May!

Dear gods, my cat is ugly: Beltane Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Gredunza Scroggins (aproximately) on Beltane:

I just picked Kosh up and waved her at the screen going 'that's your sister!' She wasn't very impressed.

Chortle. What confuses me is that she has perfectly clear eyes but every time a flash goes off, they look like glaucous pondwater. How old are these damn beasts now, anyway?

Nine - Kosh's official birthday is April 10 1998, though that's an approximation based on how old the vet thought she probably was when I first took her in for jabs.

She is wandering up and down the landing squeaking pathetically as I type this - it's the 'whiny grunt - mew' combo that means 'please let me in somewhere' but since all the doors are open I can only imagine that either she wants a drawer opened so she can go and sulk in it or she wants to be let out of the window.

Do you think the eye problem could be something to do with reflective cat retinas?

Nine already? Bloody hell, pipe and slippers time.

I think the eye problem is clumsy use of the flash - clever use with a flash to one side would avoid it - and frankly just her inner evil seeping out into the world.

Oh dear gods.

Joe! You've succumbed to the "lolcats" madness.

I thought... I hoped you would be immune.

I'm going to retreat and hide with my invisible friends.

Being out of focus isn't helping.

"But there is no poosh, white man from town."

I thought... I hoped you would be immune.

To be honest, it's not so much the cute cats as the actual phrase "I can has cheezburger?" that's wedged itself in my brain. As is so often the case, you're on your own as to whether you think this is better, worse, or dead even.

For a moment I panicked.

Then I re-parsed the last two words into "equally sad" and felt better.

Sorry -- I realize that I should be a little more careful with the d-word just now.

No, it's fine, don't worry about it.

You are not responsible for my comprehension problems.

In other circumstances it would be hilarious.

But the walrus has lost his bucket!

WHAT?

[identity profile] andygates.livejournal.com 2007-05-02 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Bucket!

And for the zeitgeist:

Ya know, that really doesn't help.

In the slightest.

Especially as the link doesn't go anywhere.

You win!

As if monitoring the cat macros community here wasn't invading my computer enough, you provide me with another link with which to waste time.

Thanks! ;)
