Dinner at the shore

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:46:46 -0400

The sun is starting to set, folks are wrapping up their picnics and cookouts, and Giz and I are enjoying all the noises, smells, sights and sensations of the shore in the evening.

Gizmo Beach - and all the clams we can eat

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:43:44 -0400

Another sunny weekend, another field trip for the Giz. This time, I stayed away from the beach house area so no herds of small children could snorgle him. It's not that I don't like children or snorgling, it's just that sooooometimes unfamiliar k...

Shaved Pu -- Gizmo

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:54:48 -0400

Remember Gizmo as he was ... Not as he is now: We had him buzzed for the summer. Poor kitteh doesn't like the heat. However, I asked for between 1/4 and 1/2 inch left. Does it look that long to you? Nyerhe. Note: I found out that soft fur ...

Did I tell you about the showers?

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:10:43 -0400

Yah. He takes showers. Every day, if he can. He followed into the bathroom from the start, and sometimes jumped into the tub when it was dry and empty. Then he'd jump into it after I'd had a shower and it was wet and the faucet was drippy. He like...

Meanwhile, back in the bag ...

Have you ever seen such contentment and self-assurity? assuredness? such confidence, even?

Big Bag o' 'Mo

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Thu, 01 May 2008 14:25:08 -0400

Cats love bags. Everyone knows this (especially the nichenicks at Cats in Bags). Put an empty paper grocery bag on the floor, and soon it will contain a cat. (Also works for shopping bags.) I believe scientolologenisists* refer to this phenomen...

Fierceness Practice

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:55:48 -0500

From his usual gargoyle perch, Giz defends the fortress from the terrible Feather Toy Beast. (No, he doesn't fit between the bars, and besides, there were two of us under the railing there to catch him if he fell, even if we'd end up getting s...

Time to make the biscuits ...

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 15:32:23 -0500

Gizmo again. This time, on my bed, making biscuits. Assume he is purring loudly whilst doing this. I'm pretty sure Giz is adjusting well to his new home. He's even firming up a bit in the guttular region. I think that's because of the stairs he ...

Grooming? FAIL

nobody@vox.com(greenighs) — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:18:34 -0500

Yes, Giz had an apointment at the groomer this morning. I dropped him off promptly at 8, went to Wal*Mart. At 8:30, I get a call on my mobile, "Come pick up your cat. He's being fresh." In this instance "fresh" means that he scratched and BIT two...
