Artie and Peebs came in and were cute at us.

When Artie last greeted us from the outside, it was from doorbell level. This concerns me. If Artie learns to use the doorbell, all is lost. And I would really like to know who is sending us all these crates of white powder in her name. She might be running a freebase catnip ring.

ok admittedly that part might get exciting. also i still consider artie a good kitty.

Sugarfoot had a wet food. We have been lazy with the wet food lately and mostly been giving them tiny kibble. She and the kittens like chicken even when it is in "bit" form. We are the worst parents.

CJ is now named "Feauxbeau," as in a lazy pseudo-Cajun version of "football," because CJ has a butt like a linebacker, also like a football. CJ is my favorite except for Peebles, Shemp, Sugarfoot, Olivia, Snowy, and Artie, who are tied with CJ.

Shemp mhrrrrorwwwaaarooooarrrr. Our mighty warrior* poet. (*shemp hit a bug!)

Shadow is also a cat. In my headcanon, Shadow is voiced by Jessica Walter doing a Katherine Hepburn impersonation. I think about 70-80% of her vocalizations mean "What... a... dump.." We are not unhello with Shadow. We conceded a respectful scritch to Her Imperial Majesty of the Shadow Clan earlier today. She accepted and carried on with her Imperial duties.
