[Runty](http://www.mortalwombat.com/Special/Pets/Runtycat.jpg) was having a bad day, so he crawled under the doormat. The doormat does not say WELCOME. The doormat says GO THE HELL AWAY. ---

These cats are so cute they make me want to reach out cyberspace and pet their little noses. [Scout doing his impersonation of a pillow](http://www.flickr.com/photos/10086811@N06/2338608173/) and [Lucy on the couch with pillows.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/10086811@N06/2339433358/) Scout is my shelter adopted baby and Lucy was the Maine Coon breeder’s runt. They both run nearly 20 lbs apiece now. ---

I just caught this. We have this guest bed where the critters like to snooze because it’s right next to a big window that catches a lot of sun in the afternoon. Apparently cats [make nice pillows.](http://www.rawdogleather.com/images/poe/poepillow.jpg) ---

Also, I took this great bunch of pictures of [cat spooning](http://www.rawdogleather.com/images/poe/spooningcats.jpg),\* but Poe blends into the chair. How the hell do you take good photos of a black cat, anyway? \*I believe the expression on Grendel’s face translates to “I _keel_ you!” ---

[QUOTE=Ms. Pumpkin] I think I’ve posted this one of Penny before, but she is on my mind right now. She got out this morning, and hasn’t came back and I’m worried about her. She used to be an outside cat but that was years ago. She is getting older, and generally her days are spent lazing around and hiding under furniture(away from the more rambunctious kitties). I have no idea what possessed her to run out the back door this morning… _worried_ [![](https://s190.photobucket.com/albums/z57/Ms_Pumpkin1981/?action=view¤t=penny.jpg) ](https://s190.photobucket.com/albums/z57/Ms_Pumpkin1981/?action=view¤t=penny.jpg) [/QUOTE] Here’s to hoping your furball comes back soon and safe. ---

Around 1 a.m. I thought I heard her distinctive “mrrrew?” And sure enough, there she was at the back door! She is awfully thin, and she has a couple small scratches that are pretty much healed(no inflammation or anything), but she is eating ravenously and prancing about and purring like there’s no tomorrow! Judging by the amount of time she’s spent on my lap/flopping on her back at my feet/headbutting me, I’d say she’s just as happy to be home as I am to have her back. 🙂 ---
