Friday Cat Blogging – 7 November 2014

Remember I told you that 56-year-old human reflexes were no match for 11-month-old kitten reflexes? Well, if you throw in a bad back, it’s game over. Unless these guys are snoozing, I’d guess that only about one picture in ten is even close to catblogging material these days.

Still, one in ten is one in ten, so here are today’s pictures. On the left, Hopper is sitting on the window sill, waiting for a bird to fly by and entertain her. On the right, Hilbert has taken up shop on Marian’s chair in our newly rearranged living room (rearranged to make room for a more back-friendly chair for Kevin). He actually spent most of the night on Wednesday sleeping in our bed with us. Progress!

In other news, my sister recommends that all of you with cats try this. She’s coming over to visit tomorrow morning, so we’ll try it then. Let us know in comments how it goes.

This is it, folks. We can’t come up short.

Today is the final day of our Spring Membership Drive, and we’re still about 400 donations short of our 1,000-donation goal. We need your help to get where we need to be.

For 50 years, we’ve been a reader-supported newsroom, never the puppet of a billionaire or a corporation. That’s why your donation makes such a difference here. Every gift, whether it’s $20 or $200, funds our investigative reporting, from the first pitch to the final proof.

And this is the moment that we need your support.

We need to hit that 1,000 goal this month to fund upcoming investigations. And we know we can get there with your support. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to give, this is it. Help us get to 1,000 today.
