The Many Hangouts of Our Cats

So our cats that we all know and love get a thrill out of hanging out in odd places. Since we moved almost everything out of our house the oddness of their hang outs has become more apparent. The following photos have all been taken today and they are not setup or anything in any way. These are simply places that I have found a cat today.

Now other than the usual places that you would expect to find a cat there are a few that I understand.

The Closet
Here we have Darwin hanging out in the clothes in the closet. This is a favorite hang out of Darwin’s and by proxy a hang out for Luna as well.

Then there are the ones that I don’t understand.

The Kitchen Island

Usually the focal point of activity in most houses, the cats both enjoy the island as a meeting place. I think that they plan their mischievousness for the day there.

Now when you add a warm fuzzy hoodie to the kitchen island you have a meeting place & a nap place.

Sometimes those naps can get well… out of hand.

And let us not forget the stools. Anyone who has been to our place knows that she loves the stools. I actually get her a stool and set her on it when I am doing a photo shoot in studio ’cause she stays put.

The Door
Now our kittens are very much like puppies in that they hang out at the door waiting for us to get home. Today is no exception – I come home and walk in to find Luna waiting for me. But she couldn’t wait for me on the cold hard floor, no no we find Luna on my camera bag the only thing around.

The Window
We also have a long window ledge that they can look out the window on and run along and such.

The Office

Now the other place that Luna likes to hang out is under my desk on my footstool.

Darwin also likes to hang in the office but he enjoys a much loftier perch to call his own. He jumps up to the top of the wall and like the king he is sits and looks down on the world.

Now when Luna is in the office with me chances are she isn’t sitting on my lap or on the monitor – she is sitting on me, my mouse, keyboard. You know… in the way.

She is far too lazy to chase this mouse.

She would much rather nap on my hand while I rest it down.

Lets not forget Luna’s favorite place to hang out in the house. Anywhere that I am! If I am at my desk or in bed or at the island you can be sure that Luna will be there with me.

My Phone Needed To Be Rebooted

Today I was sitting around waiting for some clients to come and grab some orders, when I look at my phone and it says that it is 3:20pm or something around that time. I look at my computer and it most definitely is 5ish. I open my phone to see that it is black in side and none of the buttons are responsive…. I try to power it off … Nothing I pull the battery and then put it back on ….. nothing I again pull the battery and wait a few moments before putting it back on… Bingo I have a phone again and 50 billion msgs from people that where trying to get a hold of me. Odd to say the least

Colour Infra-red

Hurray the beetle has heat again :) Well it always had heat but I think the cables that command the heat got disconnected when the transmission was done and then didn’t get reconnected, that or the came disco’ed on there own. Also a possibility. So on a crappy wet morning like today when heat is sometimes a help I got to crawl under the car and reconnect them. :) No biggy it is fun to get soaking wet first thing in the morning.
Just waiting for the coffee to finish brewing and I am back at it for another fun filled day of post processing hell :) Don’t get me wrong I enjoy this more then anything but with the weather looking like winter is moving on in long before his possession date, I kinda feel like I missed summer.
Any way this was taken back when it still looked like summer. I will give a shinny, lollipop to any one that can tell me where this was taken.

a simple sign post

Today was spent again in front of my computer in which I consumed 17 billion gallons of coffee. Its like a scene in that movie that Bob & Doug McKenzie made years ago, the one where he gets stuck in the vat of beer and drinks his way out. I feel like that today.
