Sugar Watches You From Above
Posted on October 1, 2018 Posted by John Scalzi 9 Comments
Here’s Sugar, in one of her favorite perches, above the sliding glass door in our living room. Sugar’s been spending a lot of time outdoors recently, because Smudge annoys the crap out of her, so it’s nice when she’s inside and relaxing, instead of looking at Smudge like he’s an insect.
This is what I have for you today. I spent the first half of the day writing (including finishing up a short story I will probably read on tour) and the rest of the day answering long-delayed email and other such boring stuff. As I it was totally an organization day, I hardly looked at news at all! I imagine it’s terrible; it usually is. I’ll have time to catch up… some other day. Now I’m going to have dinner with Krissy and watch movies until bed time. Wheee!
Sounds like a plan…
Sounds like a lovely day. Including Sugar find a good place to stalk Smudge from
The look on Sugar’s face reminds me of our old kitty, Maxine. Miss that old girl.
“Smudge annoys the crap out of her, so it’s nice when she’s inside and relaxing, instead of looking at Smudge like he’s an insect.”
Yeah, it’s useful to remember when you have multiple cats: cats do not think that other cats are cute.
Those kitty shelves really were an inspired addition to that wall.
WHAT DO WE WANT?!?
TO BE LEFT ALONE BY THAT KITTEN!
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
I WILL FUCKING CUT YOU!
We have a similar situation at our house. Our first cat will go up on top of a tall bookcase and just look down in irritation at the new kitten. The new kitten, however, absolutely doesn’t care and continues to cause mayhem wherever she goes. Such is life with felines.
When she comes down from up high, and naps on the ground, does that make her Sweet & Low?

Wonder if old Zeus looks jealously at Sugar and wishes he could still do his vulture act on the unsuspecting lower animals.
