The Grip of Death

When you see this picture, you may think, “Awwww. Cute, gentle, little Hobbes is having his neck scratched. Isn’t that just so sweet?”

However, I’d like to draw your attention to those paws…the ones with the death grip around my hand. Turns out, when a 20 pound cat grabs your hand to assure that you don’t stop scratching his neck until HE says you can–on pain of certain death…

you just kinda keep scratching his neck, whether you want to or not…

till the end of time…

or until he falls asleep.

Good grief.

A slave in my own house.

 

Wise Old Hobbes

Old Mister Hobbes. Such a wise, deep thinking fellow.

So wise, in fact that he understands every….single….word that I say.

Not so wise, however, that he realizes that I don’t understand ANYthing he is EVER saying…or doing, for that matter.

Case in point.

Haha. Hobbes–you are a funny little duck.

We love you.

 

Look Quick!!

The kitties are all in the same place at the same time!

Honestly, between Dali chasing Lyla or Hobbes wrestling Dali or Lyla hiding from everyone and  EVERY thing, getting a picture like this is pretty rare.

It’s like that once in a decade photo of a lightening strike.

I should call Time magazine.

Seriously.
