battle: gray tabby

This weekend, Andrew, Alli, and I drove up to Delaware to visit the family. We brought Howie and Alli brought Willow because we wanted to do a little test run to let the cats meet before Thanksgiving and Christmas, when they get to spend about 2 weeks together.

The good news is both cats are still alive. I wish I could brag and say that Howie loved his cousin from the first moment they met and that they spooned on the couch cushions all weekend. But I can’t, because Howie was a big, mean bully; he hissed and growled at everyone almost constantly. Luckily for Willow it was all an act. In the end, Howie was a big weenie and ran away from her when she wanted to play.

Here is Howie doing his mean puffy staredown (hey! puffy like his mom!) while Willow just lays there like it’s naptime:

But don’t underestimate the kitten smarts! Willow hides where Howie is too fat (ahem, I mean big-boned), to even dream of going:

In an effort not to be too feline obsessed, other weekend updates include:

- Manicure and pedicure with the lovely newlywed Jessica, my freshman year roomie.
- Buying these shoes from Kohl’s for $22 and only getting one small blister from them (I almost bought these, these, and these, but instead I showed Fiscal Restraint. Go me!)
- Picking up my knitting needles again! Woo hoo! Updates coming later this week.
- Going to Andrew’s ten year high school reunion, which was fun because? Open Bar!

  2. I love your new shoes! Damn the blister. No one ever said fashion was comfy. Oh, and I think you should come back to DE and buy more shoes so we can hang out again…but I am being selfish, and would possibly cause you to ruin your fiscal restraint.
