Laney's Litter Box

Behold the power of catnip

2008-01-23T12:55:00.000-05:00

I picked up some catnip while I was out and sprinkled it on Laney's scratching post. She seems pleased.

Sometimes you just need to sit down inside a bag

Taking a break from a long day of sitting on top of the backpack, Laney decide to curl up inside of a dufflebag for a nap.

No matter where you put your backpack, I will find it and sit on it

The temperature has been in the upper 80s all day, but it feels hotter than that in the living room. So Laney's been keeping me company in the office. And by keeping me company, I mean sleeping on the backpack tossed carelessly on an old chair.

Does this window bed make my butt look big?

We put Laney's new cat bed next to the window when we first moved into this apartment. She then proceeded to ignore it for about a month. But now it's her 17th favorite place in the world.

I've got friends in low places

Or should that be, I've got friends in small spaces.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It's nice to have an office cat.

There's something about bags

2007-06-25T16:02:00.000-04:00

You think we would have learned by now that it's absolutely silly to buy Laney new things. We got her a perfectly good cat bed and set it by the window in the new apartment so she could see what's going on outside. So far as we can tell, she sat in it once.

But any time you take a bag and put it down on a table, the ground, or pretty much anywhere else (we should try hanging one from the ceiling), Laney will plop on top of it. This trick also works with sheets of paper, especially ones with something you need written on them.

The thing about working from home is that you can go for hours at a time without talking to anyone. So it's nice to have a little friend that you can stuff in a compartment on your desk that you can pull out when you need a quick bit of conversation. For the rest of the day, she sleeps.

Can you spot the cat in this photo?

2007-06-08T10:08:00.001-04:00

Okay, she's not that hard to spot, but the second photo was just so cute I had to post it as a close-up.

Laney dances the night away

Somehow we lost Laney's cat dancer toy in the move, so I had to go out and buy a new one. It's the best $2 I've ever spent. The toy is basically just a piece of wire with some cardboard bits on the end, but it's pretty much Laney's favorite thing in the world.

Wait, do I go under L for Laney or C for Cat?

We moved from Princeton to New York recently. And for Laney this meant there were lots of cardboard boxes lying around to jump in and out of, and every now and again cabinets that had always been too full to explore were empty. Here she is checking out our filing system.

I'm sorry, did you say something?

Spotted on Cute Overload, sometimes a turtle's in the mood to make out a bit when a kitty's got a headache. It's both sad and kind of funny to watch.

Laney in the sink

It occurs to me that there will probably be a few recurring categories on this site, besides Laney looking cute. For example, sinks, boxes, and other small places. Here's today's sink-shot.

Kitty photos

Our cat's name is Laney. Flipping through our photo collection, I've realized that my wife and I have far more pictures of Laney being cute than we have of ourselves on vacation, at home, or even getting married, as far as I can tell.

So I figured it was high time Laney meet the world. I plan to post new and historic photos of our kitty doing cute things on this blog. Occasionally I may branch out and post other cute or fun photos or videos I run across.
