She probably wants to be fed

Her eyes will melt your heart.

So fluffy I can't stand it

Brucey Bruce

Don't let his cuteness fool you, Rocky can be a mean bastard

Sweet Natalie

Phoebe's doppelganger

2006-11-05T17:35:00.000-08:00

This is not Phoebe.

It's a Phoebe impersonator going around, looking just like Phoebe, posing for Halloween cards.

2006-09-01T09:19:00.000-07:00

I love her

Phoebe's pathetic urban view

2006-08-30T07:47:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure what she's doing since Nate took this picture

2006-08-30T07:42:00.000-07:00

Extreme Close Up

If you have volume, you can hear her meow!

Where Phoebe's been sleeping

2006-07-13T18:29:00.000-07:00

Not that I'm complaining. I love a good Phoebe snuggle.

A little something different

2006-06-27T18:58:00.000-07:00

Check it out.

(P.S. Most of it's pretty boring. But you get a good 30 seconds of Phoebe action.)

Fun with blue feather

2006-06-22T18:05:00.000-07:00

Does the fact that our cat sleeps on a cardboard box make us ghetto?

P.S. The black bag is the 2 liter bottle filled with water that we keep out for Phoebe to help keep her cool.

All wet

A shout out to Christine and Diana

Phoebe and I after I realize that she isn't really lost in the woods of Naugatuck

The night before the big move

2006-05-29T12:37:00.000-07:00

Phoebe and my legs

2006-05-29T12:34:00.000-07:00

Phoebe's ready to move

Phoebe goes ghetto

2006-04-30T16:29:00.000-07:00

We're moving soon and I'm throwing out a bunch of crap. Here's Phoebe chilling with all the trash.

Phoebe on books

Phoebe enjoys the savings too

More fun with catnip mouse

Nate's birthday party

Phoebe's big move - from the archives

2006-03-29T08:00:00.000-08:00

Here she is in the closet after moving to our current apartment.

Cuddled up in the sleeping bag

2006-03-27T08:32:00.000-08:00

Chilling on her back

2006-03-24T07:15:00.000-08:00

I probably should've brushed her pre-photo so it wouldn't look like she has bald spots. So don't judge her. She doesn't have bald spots... it's just bed hair.

Her new favorite window

2006-03-23T06:43:00.000-08:00

She loves this window best now. I don't know if it's because she gets to hang with the pictures of Nate and I or if the creatures outside this window are more interesting. Probably the latter. At night, when the blinds are closed she pathetically (and patiently) sits at the window anyway and waits for us to go over and open the blinds for her. Then she goes crazy looking at God knows what. We've tried to figure out what she's looking at, but it beats the shit out of us.

Fun with catnip

What Phoebe did this past weekend

2006-03-21T07:19:00.000-08:00

Phoebe's BFF - Catnip Mouse

2006-03-20T07:36:00.000-08:00

These pictures were all taken over the period of a week. Every day, she either cuddles with it or sits on it.

Roman cat

2006-03-10T07:31:00.000-08:00

I don't have any Phoebe pics to upload today (although there's a bunch on the camera waiting to be uploaded). Instead, here's a picture of a cat at the cat sanctuary in Rome. The cats live in a plaza full of ancient Roman ruins. There's a clinic attached where all the cats get treated and spayed and fed. It warms the heart. I bought a 7 euro magnet to support the cause. (It's a rock with a cat face painted on it.)

This cat looks like Elton John... my childhood cat. I assume he's lounging on some sort of archealogical crap.

Phoebe is back from fat camp

2006-03-09T07:55:00.000-08:00

Phoebe survived 7 weeks of pure hell by hiding under the couch, under the refrigerator, in drawers, in closets, and by only coming out at night... ninja style... while living with my brother, his 3 roommates, and his 2 cats. She lost a few pounds... I'm not sure how many. I freaked out at first, because i thought for sure she was only like 6 lbs (scarily underweight). Turns out she weighs 11. So Lord knows how much she weighed pre-trip. I guess she was a little chunky... I just didn't see it because I was blinded by unconditional love.

On the way home we bought her a new litter box, lots of food and snacks, and new toys. Here she is with purple mouse. She's also sporting a new scratch on her nose, presumably obtained from a bitch fight with my brother's cat Marquis. No matter.... she's back home and back to her old fluffy, happy self.

Phoebe on paper

2006-01-06T09:44:00.000-08:00

This last one is my attempt to take a picture Booka-style.

And sadly it's the last picture I will be able to post until March 6th. Keep Phoebe in your thoughts, as she will be staying with Uncle Artie, his roommates, and cousin cats Bruce (grouchy old cat from my childhood) and Marquis (spunky young cat). This will be a huge adjustment for her and I hope that she will learn to at least tolerate the temporary change in lifestyle. And I also hope that Marquis and Bruce don't eat all her food or steal her toys.

She wants to lick the plate

Where's Phoebe?

2005-12-27T06:13:00.000-08:00

She's black like the night.

Because Blogger would only let me post 5 pics at a time... and because I love how much she loves this toy

Phoebe and her favorite Christmas present EVER

The Bills May have blown this season... but at least Phoebe can snuggle up in their blanket

Phoebe Kong

2005-12-19T06:16:00.000-08:00

Phoebe's homage to the saddest, most poignant movie her owner has seen in a long time. If you haven't seen it, do it.

(And my sincere apologies to my loyal readers -- Artie and Christine -- for the brief hiatus.)

Phoebe and the Blue Feather

2005-11-28T07:14:00.000-08:00

I'm getting her a new feather toy for Christmas. She doesn't seem to like the blue one as much as the old yellow one that she tore to pieces.

Phoebe and the Thanksgiving Day Snow

I wish I loved the treadmill as much as Phoebe does

Phoebe and orange mouse

2005-11-20T12:54:00.000-08:00

She LOVES these little colored mice. . I like to hide them in her fur when she's not paying attention... then when she finds them she goes ape shit.

Cats don't get much cuter than Phoebe

2005-11-19T12:32:00.000-08:00

Here she is snuggling up to the treadmill I bought last year and never use.

The closest Phoebe's ever come to sitting on my lap

I think Natalie looks like a wookie

2005-11-17T06:37:00.000-08:00

This isn't Phoebe. It's my parents' dog Natalie. I thought I'd give her a shout out because she's a pretty cool dog.
