Cat Spam!

[elisi]

I've been feeling all cuddled and loved because of all the wonderful comments left for me at luna_k's love meme. Thank you all so very, very much - especially since I feel like I've been sleepwalking for much of today!

So as a tiny little thank you, I give you a picture of Spike-the-cat. We're convinced that his spine must be made out of pretzels, since nothing living should be able to bend like that. But he's always fine, no matter the weird shapes he assumes when sleeping. Anyway, he's probably mis-named, since he's not very Spike-like, except that he's a good hunter. Darcy usually calls him 'Pudding' or some flower name. Should have named him Jonathan or similar, since he really is unbelievably friendly! And has a habit of looking as daft as a brush when asleep...



Oh, and maybe - just maybe - I'll be posting the next chapter of 'Maybe Someday' tomorrow.

Spike the cat makes a re-appearance, woohoo! :)
I love this turn of phrase: And has a habit of looking as daft as a brush when asleep... Hehehehehehehe.
I'm glad you got nice comments, cos you deserve it :)
Dancing very much at that small comment at the bottom.

[elisi]

Well, he *is* daft - particularly when asleep! As you know...

Ah - I meant to talk to you about that... kathyh is setting off again tomorrow, so she won't have time to do a proper beta, although she'll have a read-through tonight and tell me the biggest problems. After sorting those out would it be OK to send the chapter your way? Will you be around? Will you have any time at all? If not, don't worry about it - I'll have plenty to occupy me without also posting fic, I just had this mad idea that I could post something before the parents arrived. Um - so what do you say?

(I need a cat icon, don't I?)

Of course, no problem. I'm always about :)

[elisi]

Yay! Will send it your way sometime tomorrow morning! :)

They do get themselves in some positions!

[elisi]

Not half! It's great free entertainment!

KITTY! Bwah! What a great pose you caught him in! He's a beauty, even if he does look "daft as a brush". Hee!

Hee! Thank you - and he has an incredible amount of stupid ways to sleep. I could have a huuuuuuuge collection of pictures by now if only I took one every time he came up with a new pose! ;)

He's cute enough to be called Spike!

[elisi]

Oh definitely! He was my Christmas present from my husband btw - I couldn't stop squeeing!

Cats have made sleeping an art - sometimes a performance art akin to ballet!

How very true! ;)

So cute! I loved the spine-made-of-pretzels line!

I bet Spike got called 'pudding' sometimes. Possibly only by Lorne, but still :)

[elisi]

No animal should be able to bend their back into an L-shape, and yet he succeeds every time!

Bwah! (see icon!)

[frimfram.livejournal.com]

Hell, I'd call him pudding, if I thought he'd let me ;)

[elisi]

Heeee! :D

[gillo]

Love that icon! "Black Books" is a wonderful show isn't it?

[elisi]

It really, really is! The icon was made by treacle_a and you can find it (and three more) here! :)

He's so cute! It's funny the contorted positions cats manage to get themselves in while they're sleeping. :)

[elisi]

I wanted a cat for years and years, but we couldn't really get one until we had 'our own place'. And I always said that *when* we got one it would have to be called 'Buffy' or 'Spike'! Heh.

Aww... he is adorable! I love me some cat spam, as I am a total crazy cat lady. Thanks for sharing your cutie-pie.

[elisi]

I think most of my flist loves cats! Which makes me love my flist! ;)

Cats and kids. My nephew, when he was younger, could fall asleep in the most painful-looking positions (maybe he still can. Of course, when you get older, sometimes you just wish you could fall asleep in any position.

And on the subject of cats... I don't think there's anything in the world cuter than a kitten. Other baby animals are cute, but they've got nothing on kittens.

[elisi]

Oh yes kids... especially in cars!

And don't they just know it? ;)
