Baby Talk.

So I know I said I wouldn't make this blog entirely about my cat...but give me a grace period. Little else is exciting about my life right now.

Can I just say that it is extremely difficult to photograph a kitten. The thing will not sit still if conscious. Which is why, so many of my pictures will end up being of the cat in a state of respite. Here is the one money shot I could get out of a set of many.


Need proof?


(I used the flash in this one, which is why Cody looks like a giant Cheeto).

Some Cody-antics in the past 24 hours. Remember, the cat is not dumb -- he is just very young (5 months) and has spent his entire life to date in an animal shelter. He has little experience with home life. Consequently, the cat is curious and skittish -- an interesting combination.

11:00pm: Jumped in the shower.
11:01-02pm: Freaked out, tried to find a way out of the shower

12:03am: Saw reflection in mirror -- freaked out and hid under the bed.

4:05am: Came out from under the bed. Slept on Melissa's face.

5:52pm: Cautiously batted at the screensaver.

5:53pm: Received static shock from the screen -- freaked out.

This cat is awesome. And easily freaked.
