Cat Maintenance

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

I took my cats in to the shop, er, the vet today for their (belated) annual checkup and shots. Talk about an experience. I took my cats to the VCA Fort Collins Animal Hospital; home of a friendly staff and moving dust. As part of their annual checkup, these folks do ...

Moving Tricks

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

Moving is extremely hard work. Moving out of state, say, from California to Colorado, is even harder. Take, for example, the logistics of renting a moving truck, finding a cat friendly hotel to stay at a mid-way point, and flying your moving buddy back out to California. Note to self: rent ...

Late Breaking! A Blog Update from Sean!

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Well, I actually blog most of the time over at the Energy Soapbox. You should read what I (and Peter) have to say there! For some personal news... Had an abbreviated work schedule (44-48hr/wk) for the last few weeks so I could hang out with Sarah (and one week where I was ...

First Day

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

Just got off my first day at work. These Pelco folks are on the ball: office setup, accounts, business cards, telephones, the whole shebang was all ready to go. My workstation is a hyperthreaded P4 3.6GHz with 1GB of RAM and 2 20" flat panel displays. My main project is ...

Oops, that was a wall.

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

My cats have a bit of a complex... If I walk up to them while they're being mischevious, they scoot -- fast. Case in point: cats were wrestling each other on the chair next to my closet door. I am walking - rapidly - to the closet, to get some warmth ...

Cats

Friday, January 20th, 2006

We all know that my kittens are cute - extra cute, even. However, cute and intelligence don't always follow. Case in point: in rapid-succession litter box use, Alex stepped in a fresh pile of her own brown gooeyness prior to a total failure to bury it. Next up was Max, who ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Friday, December 30th, 2005

How about a well-placed note mid-way between Christmas and the New Year to commemorate the holiday season? Three cheers for Christmas. I drove around 900 miles this Christmas driving around the state, with stops in Carmichael, Walnut Creek, Moraga, Fresno, and San Luis Obispo (well, to start and stop the trip ...

Cats Home

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

I got a nice call this morning from the vet asking how my kittens were doing. The answer: they are doing fine. I brought the little ones home from surgery last night at about 16:30 and reintroduced them to their room and my closet. I put a little food in their ...

Picture of Max

Friday, November 11th, 2005

Max is actually a fairly photogenic kitten. Alex always looks tremendously put out whenever I get snap of her. Today, I share with you the wonderment of Max.

Kitten Picture – Alex…

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

A little bit of back story: Alex and Max like to climb up my shelves and up into the nether regions of my closet. I sought, originally, to prevent this activity. I finally yielded to their demands (and creativity in finding new ways up and down) and kitten-proofed the appropriate ...
