Hope for Tomorrow 

Standard

I have no idea if the Electoral College will do the right thing tomorrow. In theory, people like DJT are the reason it was created – of course other people have more sinister theories on why it still exists.

Until tomorrow, then; more Lumi. He has been my go-to-guy when I need hugs and cuddles. Since I last posted about him, he has learned to jump into my arms. This is something I’ve taught my cats for over 13 years. It is pretty easy to do – but kittens get over excited at first and jump when you aren’t asking, or looking, and sometimes it ends in a bloody back or legs. In any case, he and I have a routine now. When I get dressed for work in the morning, he launches himself at me and talks in my ears while purring madly. I have been late to work because he doesn’t want to let go!


When I come home and change out of my work gear, he does it again. It’s a nice welcome home.


He does do ‘bad’ things – the TV is still a target, as are the plants in the bathroom (my gerbera daisies). He broke a Welsh pottery cat I had, but it was by accident. He does parkour, you see, but sometimes awkwardly.

Surprisingly, he hasn’t gone mental on the Christmas tree. I don’t know what it is about how I raise furry kids, but I’ve never had one that treated a tree like a climbing post. We only put plastic baubles or ornaments at the bottom of the tree, so they can remove them and play if they want to. After a week, only three balls have been removed. Lokii is just as guilty of that, in any case.


Zoomed in so not the best quality – but this is where he sits on a Thursday when iDJ is spinning his decks upstairs. Kind of funny – how does he know? 


Kitten-bellah cures all ills. Yes, I stick my face in his fur and snorgle him. 

Now, I haven’t put a picture of me up for a while – not since the accidental blogging disaster a few years ago. But I love this picture.


Lumi wanted hugs while we were getting ready to go out shopping yesterday. 

I bought this Wile E. Coyote hat last year, and I love it to bits. Wore it all day yesterday, and made so many little kids smile. Even got a high-five from one little guy. 

Hope some cute kitten-ness helps tonight. Those of us who have been literally nauseated since November need all we can get right now. Everyone else? Here’s a cute-ass kitten!

  1. I’m quite behind in reading, but I’m glad that I got to this post today. Something about the little man on his back with that beautiful belly exposed… I literally LOL’d. Thank you for sharing. ❤ PS – love the hat!

  2. I love this !!!! Grand and wonderful !!!! You both are so photogenic. I adore both of you. I don’t blame you, I sometimes put my face in the cat’s fur and just breathe it in a bit. I needed this today. I still have not gotten to the email you sent me with the picture, but I will before the day is out. I wish my two would lay and cuddle together. Instead they fight and nip each other. I will need many more cat family photos to survive the next few years I think. Thanks. Hugs
