Cuteness overload

I forgot to post this before... it's my lovely cat Sapphire and the (soon to be incredibly annoying) quacking duck toy I bought her.

Turn up your sound and prepare to be amused. She LOVES this thing.



Oh, and the weird sneeze-like sound at the end? That's me, bursting into giggles before getting the camera turned off. :)

Sapphire would NOT do this

Sapphire and the Roomba are not good friends. Not like this cat and his Roomba!

A clean house can kill you!

(People who've been here, stop muttering, "How would YOU know?" :)

So last night, I was cleaning the big fish tank. I do it twice a week, vacuuming the left side the first time and the right side the second time. (I can't vacuum the whole thing at once because the tank's top has a divider between the halves, and I'd have to re-start the vacuum hose, and I do that (although I know it's gross) by sucking on the hose, and I'll only do THAT when the hose is safely dry. :)

Vacuuming along, watching the bottom to make sure no fish have decided to get too close, seeing bits of debris floating along and snagging them with the hose. A little piece of black something takes off ahead of the hose, and I chase it. And chase it. And just as I'm about to get it, I realize...

It's a baby fish!

A while back, I mentioned little Val, the tiny orange baby fish. Val is still with us, and still in the plastic breeding trap. This baby is black and maybe a tiny bit bigger than Val (who is no longer eyeballs and a back fin but has an actual body with a teeny little top fin). This is a free-range baby fish!

The gravel in the tank is black, and the baby is black, so I lost sight of it almost immediately. I'm guessing maybe the full-grown fish in the tank are also losing sight of it?

So I finished vacuuming the tank, then let the bucket of water sit for a while before flushing it in case I'd caught the baby. Nope. Good!

There's no chance I'll get a picture of the baby, and given how bad my last picture of Val was, I won't bother taking another one at the moment. But I'm excited! Val has a little friend! :)

Can YOUR cat play Risk?

Mine can't, but this guy's can. Well, sort of.

SO cute!

Cats on dog action (sounds rude but isn't!)

My sister taped her cats playing with her dog a while back and I just realized I never posted it here. SO cute, and really shows the patience of a golden retriever. :)
