We got Inkblot a new area rug to tear to shreds this week, this time in bright olive green. Sets him off well, don’t you think.1 (Naturally we do all our interior decorating with cat complementing in mind.) On the right we have — what? Let’s call it experimental catblogging. Domino has a sound she makes that means, “Get down on the floor and play with me.” She made it this morning, so I got down on the floor and played with her. This time, however, I had my camera, so I stretched out my arms and took some pictures of her playing with my head. This is one of her favorite activities. Pretty lucky for me, no?

1And very presidential too. He’s thinking of using this color for the Oval Office carpet after he wins election next year.
