(Brunette, again.)<\/p>\n

We’re blessed with a bunch of cool and creative cats. They’re a primary source of laughter around here, especially the kittens (well, they’re six months old now, but they’re still pretty entertaining.)<\/p>\n

Strider, our gray male kitten (see above) loves to lounge around and help Vin at his computer. So does Sandy (see Vin’s author photo … give it a minute to load<\/a>) a big cream and orange tomcat that adopted us — he previously belonged to a neighbor, though I suspect he’d furiously deny belonging to anyone. He’s ours to the extent that we let him in when he wants in, and out when he wants out (usually around 4:30 a.m.) and he obviously enjoys our premium food (plus occasional table scraps) so he always arrives with a good appetite. Sandy’s a great hunter and sometimes leaves choice tidbits on our doormat. Well, that’s preferable to the gifts of live mice he’s been known to bring into the house once or twice. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The female cats\/kittens seem to prefer to hang out with me in the “hers” office. More on that some other time, perhaps.<\/p>\n

But I digress, back to Strider …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vin has an oversized scanner he uses for putting our used books and records online<\/a>. To Strider, it’s yet another surface to sleep and play on. Just the other day, Strider decided to press the scan button and then sat on the scanner for an “unauthorized” self portrait … Vin and I had a good laugh over the resulting portrait, so we hope you will too. \ud83d\ude42 Yes, Strider took this one all by himself, with no help from us. Seriously!<\/p>\n

And no, Strider doesn’t have six legs … not sure what happened there, but this is what happens when kittens decide to take selfies … a different point of view, to say the least. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Then, later, Strider curled up on the scanner for a nap. This time, it was Vin who pressed the “scan” button … Strider just obligingly stayed put for this one.<\/p>\n

We suspect Strider and his sisters are part Abyssinian. Strider especially has unusual features. Very short two tone gray\/silver coat, improbably long legs and tail, odd bronze eyes, and an overall “sci-fi cat from Mars” appearance. World, meet Strider … Strider, meet world. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
