Since no one else seems to have asked:
Looming deadline again?
The best part of that picture is the way she looks both completely innocent and demonic at the same time.
Annalee:
I’m certain she has no idea how they got there.
Oh, I meant the cat’s butt.
Oh, did you bathe the keys in purell after this little episode? Yech!
Remidns me I gotta change the cat box.
That’s a pretty clean cat box, what’s the big problem?
At least she didn’t bury them (or anything else for which she normally uses the box)…
Maybe you should fumigate them. Twice.
So, was this before or after the bacon book picture?
Told ya you shouldn’t have pissed off Ghlaghghee with that Bacon Book picture yesterday.
Just sayin’.
Is it a looming deadline, per Carol Elaine above? Or is it just the sheer joy at having a working Whatever that explains these . . . hijinks?
If it were a deadline-related picture, it would be Photoshopped beyond all recognition.
Nah, I just thought it would be funny. I did lose my keys earlier in the day, though. That part was real.
Now you know where to look when your wallet goes missing, again.
I said I wantz cheezburger.
Not keyz.
The question is, did the keys pass through Ghlaghghee’s digestive tract prior to ending up in the box?
Some things it’s better if we don’t know, Jim Wright.
I told you she’d get her revenge for that last picture. ;-)
I can drivez carz?
O Great And Awesome Scalzi, what else can be said? Magnificent She is simply Magnificent.

GHLAGHEE:
“No sir, Officer Scalzi, I cannot tell a lie. I put those keys in that freshly-changed cat pan.”
FADE DOWN
Someday Ghlaghee *will* retaliate for being made to be a bookrest. It probably won’t involve [the only] hardcopy of your writing, since you don’t favor dead-tree storage … but you never know.

TOLD YA!!!
Embarrassing a cat is bound to have repercussions.
Immediate, appropriate but not necessarily limited in time.
Bacon payback?
You are going to have words. The cat, not so much.
Revenge! Revenge for bacon humiliation.
I think the keys were planted by the dog to blame the cat. I mean, cumon! Look at the keys.. Not buried or anything. It twas the dog.
The war has begun.
Pet names missing due to lack of memory. And the fact that there is no way I can remember Ghlaghghee. I think there are at least 3 spellings here in this thread.
You didn’t leave milk out for the brownies. They hid your keys in the cat box to get the cat in trouble. She’s probably been chasing them.
Don’t you read traditional fantasy?
Could be worse. She could’ve eaten them. Do you know how MUCH it costs to remove objects from a cat’s small intestine? Eh? DO YOU?
I do. It’s approximately $1600. Let us not speak of it again.
