A normal night

Cuddle time with daddy

Lookit that face! <3

This is what MY cuddle time with Bowser looks like. Him, sitting next to me all proper and staring at me like I am the greatest person on Earth.

Tardcat, puffed up and ready for action!

The Vacuum Monster

Like most cats, Bowser does not like the vacuum cleaner (or the ice maker, garage doors, stomping feet, or kids, for that matter). He always used to hide under the bed when I would clean the house, but our new bed in the master bedroom doesn't have a frame underneath. I locked him in that room a while ago hoping to save some grief from the vacuum monster, and when I was done I couldn't find the damn cat anywhere. I seriously thought he vanished. I searched for him for half an hour and found nothing but little clumps of Bowser hair lying around that probably fell out in a panic.

A view of the room:

I thought I looked everywhere, until I saw this:

Poor dude.

He stayed there for nearly 3 hours, no matter how much coaxing I did with treats and toys. I felt like the worst mother ever.

One problem with Bowser is that you can't tell if he is happy or angry because he has the same expression at all times. After a couple hours in his makeshift sleeping bag, I realized that he didn't want to come out because he was quite happy where he was, and even purring.

Today is cleaning day, so I will be taking out the dreaded vacuum once again. I have to clean the apartment in two stages to give Bowser ample time to find a new hiding place while I move throughout the rooms. Otherwise he flips out and I feel like he's going to have a kitty heart attack. I arranged the pillows nicely on the bed, and the sheets are nice and clean so hopefully he will have a nice place to hide today.

LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME DUDE.

A day in the life...

Bowser's First Christmas

I don't know what to talk about, so here are some pictures of a kitten in a Christmas sweater. YOU'RE WELCOME.

My all time favorite:

Around December I started to notice his eyes were changing colors. They were completely grey when I got him, but they started turning all shades of blue, green, brown, and yellow. I had no clue what the end result would be. They were cute though. This was also around the time when I realized he made the best facial expressions EVER, and that I needed to document him more.

I could have sworn his eyes were turning brown or copper, but almost overnight they went from this weird color mix to bright green.

I'm almost through with kitten pictures, and soon I can move into Bowser's angry old man look! Hooray!
