Sweet Bartleby
Sweet Bartleby, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. My ever present boyo. He follows me upstairs, he’s there when I’m sick. He comforts me and is my Siamese shadow. For a siamese guy he doesn’t talk much and he’s very different from the Siamese I’ve had before…but then all cats …

It’s a box with a cat in it
It’s a box with a cat in it, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. They are like cat traps you know? If you needed to trap a cat, put a box down, you don’t even need food. I think paper attracts them faster.

My Second Job
A while back I decided to learn html. A long while ago. I’ve built my websites myself for years until one day I paid a friend to do so because, well, because it was a good thing to do. And I’ve traded building my site for  things as well, because …

O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind? ~Percy Bysshe Shelley
It has been a long winter.  A very long winter. There have been actual feet of snow. There have been too many inches of ice. Many missed days of school and work.  I think it is 11 or 12 now.  What you see in these pictures isn’t actually snow, it’s …

A woman? Is that meant to insult me?
Oh I’ve been stewing on this for awhile.  I’m sick of being underestimated because I’m nice. Or because I’m quiet. Because I surely am the former but not so much the latter. Well If you know me. If you don’t or if Iâ€m in a situation I’m not fully …

Em speaks with Haru
Em speaks with Haru, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. In our family, all the cats talk. Of course they meow, mip, meeyup and purr (or chuff) but they also speak human. Yes they do. They always have. Even if it sounds like their voices (and they are all distinct) …

Haru sleeps
Haru sleeps, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. Oh I’m trying this photo a day thing and I’m being moderately successful. You will see many pictures of cats and probably more food than I’ve ever photographed because 1) I am not a photographer, I just like taking pictures 2) Our …

Paws for Snuggling
4/365 Paws for Snuggling, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. I have a circulation and temperature thing (have had my whole life) and my hands and feet get very very cold and don’t get warm again. So sometimes I wear gloves (and socks/slippers) even under blankets. I had finished things …

Bartleby Raises the Roof, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. My sweet boyo in the the new cat tree. It’s a little shorter than I/they like it to be but he surely looks cute in there.

The Winter Couch
Fotor, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. 2/365 What some evenings look like in the winter. When I say I’m cold J tells me to ‘throw another cat on there.’ I’ve had 4 out of 5 but by that point I’m roasting. Zack enjoys placing himself in the most uncomfortable …

Hoppin John
1/365 Eating black eyed peas on New Years is a Southern tradition. One of my sweet memories of a good friend, Matt, is when he brought black eyed peas to a New Years party in San Francisco—giving us both a shared language in the midst of living elsewhere. Funny I …

Beginning at the End
Oh somewhere in me I had an epic goodbye 2013 post, you sucked. Can’t wait to see you leave..etc etc. But we have girls spending the night and I’ve been snoozing with cats on the couch, so my fur is just not up. I had a list of resolutions about …
