Well now, what have I been doing? I’ve been very busy supervising Classicrockchick and IanRespond, and ensuring my place as Top Cat of the household. I’ve also been doing a lot of sunbathing during the heatwave, but now that it’s raining I’ve found time to come in and update my blog.

IanRespond has been working very hard as usual, and Classicrockchick has been dieting. Speaking from a cats’ point of view, I think IanRespond has had the easier time of it - judging by the wails of hungry despair coming from CRCs’ direction.

I know Hobbes worries that she might put the whole family on a diet, and is always pestering her for another breakfast/brunch/lunch/tea/supper etc. Here he is posing for the camera again:

But it all calms down when we gather to watch the original Star Trek every night at 7 and 8 on the Sci-fi Channel. It’s a family ritual. We may as well – there’ll be no more food or fuss forthcoming while that’s on. It’s just sickening the way IanRespond drools over Nurse Chapel:christine chapeleven though she's blonde,
and CRC drools over the Captain:kirk1
And I swear CRC is the illegitimate child of Dr McCoy:Bones
– their personalities are so alike.

I felt it was time I took my rightful place as Top Cat. One swipe at current-top-cat Spook, and a bit of intimidating body-language – and I claimed my crown.

Don’t worry – Spook’s fine. He’s happily lying in a little pool of sunshine in the garden and muttering to himself.

Who says I’m just a big soft pussycat?
