As my wife and daughter insist on reminding me.
I look forward to being there soon.

Caturday
WE HUNGER!
Cats Are Cats
ALL the Cats
+Margie Kleerup got all the cats the other night. Good thing she had her phone and Kindle at hand. DO NOT DISTURB THE CATS.
Christmas Kittehs
Hanging out on the festive rug in front of the kitchen sink (more importantly, in front of the toe kick heater vent below the kitchen sink).

Christmas Cat
We've been cat-sitting the In-Laws' cat, Souffle, the past few days. She provided some photo ops against the Christmas Tree last night.
A quiet, lazy evening
The snow meant no travel, which meant we were stuck hanging out at the house last night, which turned out to be (for the cats as well as ourselves) rather restful.
(Though I have no doubts the cats would have found it restful regardless.)
It's true: cats DO run the world

What could be more fun than freeze-frames of cats shaking water off their heads?

Cats, in a nutshell
Cat On Lap!
COL emergencies happen fairly regularly around our household.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm rarely the one so pinned down.

Flight of a lifetime
The action on this ultralight aircraft starts around the 0:30 mark.

Well it seemed like a good place for a catnap at the time.
Even robots die
Entropy always wins. People think of robots as a way to cheat time — a robot companion, unlike a living one, won't grow old, right? But how many people still have thirty-year-old cars — or twenty-year-old computers? How long can (or should) manufacturers provide parts and maintenance, and what does it mean when they stop?
It's an interesting emotional and ethical consideration as robotics and AI advance. (And particularly apropos after reading the wrap-up of the Luna Brothers' Alex + Ada series this week.)
Sony’s Robotic Dogs Are Dying A Slow And Heartbreaking Death
Back in 1999, Sony released a robotic dog called Aibo, a canine companion that didn’t crap everywhere and only ate electricity. It sold pretty well — 150,000 units, despite the $2,000 price tag. Some owners became remarkably attached, which makes it even more sad that Sony has stopped repairing Aibo. Slowly but surely, they’re all dying.
FOOD! I WANT … NICE HUMAN … I WANT FOOD!
Part of me laughs at these pix, since, as a pet owner over my life I have so seen this. Part me is vaguely uncomfortable about celebrating animals being taunted by food …
(And, in a pit fight between those two parts, the amused part wins, but feels oddly guilty about it.)
Animals staring at food
Each of these photos could be captioned as follows: “Oh, hello. I see that you have [food name]. I, too, like [food name].”
Keyboard Adaptations
Yes. This.

I don't currently have a cat, but certainly remember that look.
