Photos lurk beneath this cut of my cats being really adorable. Proof positive that yes, my fierce and wily Bengal loooooves his kitten, who I got especially for him. I didn't know that this was what I was doing at the time, mind you, but apparently, it's all worked out.

Nocturne says: "A little to the left, please. Down a little...aaaaah."

Also, if you haven't listened to Jonathon Coulton's most recent album yet, the last two songs on it, "Always The Moon" and "Space Doggity" are beautiful and heartbreaking and tragic and so worth while. (And free to listen to on the website). Yeah, Coulton can apparently do genuinely tragic, though the story of Laika always hurts a little, so maybe it's just me. ("Thanks for the dog food/I'm somewhere above you now") I mean, arguably necessary for science, but still a hell of a thing to do to a nice dog.

If you have no idea who this guy is, scroll down a few albums and listen to "Code Monkey," "Re: Your Brains" and "Skullcrusher Mountain." So worth it.

Nocturne is doing that thing that kittens do, which is growing like a weed. I think we are beginning to see traces of the cat she'll grow into, and that promises to be a pretty, even elegant, little thing. The cuddlines of her relationship with Tiger continues to astound. Magic tolerates her and she knows better than to pounce on Magic, even if she slips now and again because she's a kitten and can't help it. But they'll sleep on either side of me and I get morning stereo purring.
