   Is that Cold Magic by Eric Buchanan? If so it looks like a different version of the book than I have.

   How thoughtfull of you to include kitty nap platforms when you built the new bookshelves.

   Where’s the bacon? I can’t see it.

   Michael, don’t you know that bacon grease is very bad for books?

   I was so torn this morning. Books or Cat… BOOKS or CAT? And here they are, both in the same place! WOW!

   Thanks for posting a picture of Zeus. He’s always got that “Hurry up, I’ve got things to do” look. I want to be like him when I grow up.

    After just watching the football final this is what I need. One comfy cat and a bunch of books.

    Oh, fooey on chang who is not chang! There are cats other than Ghlaghghee! AND things worth looking at other than…

    …No! Please Mistress, I didn’t mean it…NO!

    *hisses, tearing noises, sounds of bloody gobbets of flesh hitting walls*

    I always seem to have both cats and books, rather when I’m reading, I have a cat on my lap. Best of both worlds.

    Much as I like looking at books and cats, it’s the closeup of the wood and its finish in your new shelves that has my heart going pit-a-pat.

    Zeus looks like such a friendly cat.

    Consider me appeased.

    Jeff S. comes in the living room and looks around and says “That’s strange, the cat is here but where’s Xopher? And why are his books strewn across the floor?” He heads on in through the Kitchen door. “What! NOOOOO”

    O Great Scalzi, how wonderful it is to see even an imperfect picture of TempCat Zeus.

    The Executive Committee offers the following helpful critique:

    1. Magnificent She is nowhere to be seen. We may need to check our records, but we are pretty confident we issued very clear orders that you were to post a picture of Her next.

    2. TempCat Zeus, while centered in the frame, is too small. We suggest either moving closer to Him or using the camera’s zoom feature.

    3. Lighting is poor.

    4. Focus is iffy.

    See what happens when you shirk your imaging duties? Your quality (such as it is) goes to hell.

    Let this be a lesson to you.

    Meee-ow!
    (Beautiful shelves, too)

    Why don’t your cats have their own blog?
23. Rick Ashley says:
    July 12, 2010 at 8:29 am

    No I come here to watch car crashes and poke hornets nests with sticks.

    Susan@22: Ghlaghghee is on Twitter, but she hasn’t tweeted in a while:

    http://twitter.com/Ghlaghghee

    Zeus doesn’t strike me as the social networking type.

    Awesome!

    Caption: Bookshelf cat is not impressed with your library.

    (I am though)

    What is the book second to the right of the cat? I can’t quite make out the title ” Book Living Dead”.

    im in ur library, holding up ur books?

    ShelfCat is watching you ‘crastinate?

    I got nothin’.

    (not suggesting you are procrastinating–it just had to sound like the other thing from that other joke).

    The ONLY reason to have a corner bookshelf is if you have a cat (or three).

    Good to know you’re a cat man, John. Also good to know that, like every other American, when you have nothing to post you post “adorable” pics of your fur friends.
