Rub-a-tum-tum

Edit: Hee hee – I wonder if they used Chaos as inspiration?! 

And more again

I found another cat tummy or two myself. Chaos’ brother, Diablo (he’s on a diet!) – hmm, it’s a bit hard to tell, but doesn’t it look like he’s missing guard hair in the same spot Chaos is?! (I know, more exposed boy kitty nipples. Blog’s going to heck in a handbasket.)

A really bad shot of Chaos’ mom, Riley, and her white tummy spot – if it helps, part of her mouth is on the extreme upper left of the picture.

Our unsettled weather continues. Yesterday we had crazy, crazy wind. The big storms missed my area of Minneapolis, but the clouds over Lake Calhoun last night were pretty dramatic – these are from the south shore of Lake Calhoun, looking north toward downtown.

Ok, you busted me. I got nothin’! I’ve been doing all sorts of little things to get ready for vacation, but haven’t made a whole lot of knitting progress (although I am on the cuff of the second pink and black sock). Somewhere I have a reading update to post, too… I will post something else before I leave Monday, I promise!

Gratuitous Chaos shot to distract you…

  1. Gratuitous shots of Chaos are ALWAYS welcome! So funny seeing Diablo – hard to believe they’re from the same Mom!

    How long is your trip?

  2. Hmmm, more kitty cheesecake.

    We were out by Flying Cloud airport last night at 6:30 when clouds like those were rolling around – the boys were playing Lacrosse – we thought for sure we were going to be running for the cars. But no! It passed and the temp dropped about 40 degrees.

  3. That’s a tummy you could rub your face in!

    Since both of them of are pleasantly plump, it could just be genetics. Chaos would never overeat!

  4. Why do I suddenly want to dsing “Ebony and Ivory”? Wait – are you leaving Monday – the 11th?? I need to get some stuff to you!!

  5. Hehe. More kitty nipples. I’m dying to know, what have your search terms been lately? 🙂

    Have a great weekend Chris!

  6. Mommie says she’s going to try for a tummy shot of me this weekend. I’ve got news for her. I don’t think she’ll get one!
    Love Chaos shots ANYTIME!

  7. I admit, I am a Boo Kitty tummy snorgler. There, I’ve said it. He has a nearly bald tummy and for very visible nipples, plus you can feel his innie belly button.

    I know way too much about my cat’s stomach. *hangs head in shame*

  8. OK I’m still trying to figure out which end is up on the picture of Riley. Lobe the pics. We are having the same type of weather here, it has been so windy.

  9. Wasn’t that about the most hyped storm that never happened ever. Where were these people 9 years ago when I got caught driving, in rush hour, with a 2 year old, in the hail storm of the century?
    Have a good trip!

  10. Love the pictures! Very cute kitties, and striking sky.

    And if you need more to blog about while you have no knitting content, I saw on the I can has cheezburger site that the ban on elephant ivory is going to expire. I wrote up a big post about animal protection and such if you’re so inclined.

  11. We are having weird weather too here in California. It’s very cool for this time of year, but that makes the knitting more pleasant.

    Well, with Chaos on the job you never need fear of being over run with stuffed rodents!

  12. We had TWO tornado warnings at work yesterday afternoon!

    I need to try to get a picture of Harley’s tummy, although she’s not very cooperative….

  13. Well, I guess I’m going to have to jump on the bandwagon and follow my kitties around for some belly shots!

    Cool looking clouds.

  14. Inquiring feline minds want to know….

    If you’ve got those big funny things out and you’re putting LOTS of stuff in them–who’s going to keep the feeding schedule and clean the litterbox? AND play fetch? Kitties can’t possible be responsible for picking up their own toys…… Bailey

    PS-Like Riley, I have white spots on my pits and bits. But you’ll never see them online! The picture thing makes a funny noise adn I make a mad dash elsewhere.

  15. Dearest May and Chaos – I’m now fairly convinced that I’m related to one of you… I tuck my head to play just like Chaos, and I have a white spot on my tummy just like May’s Mom…maybe all little black kitties do that…

    Happy playing!
    -Bailey

  16. We had a storm like that roll through here early this morning. Wonderous shots you got there – very pretty!

    It’s always great when Diablo visits, too 🙂

  17. OK, WHAT is this blog rated? My goodness! Really, you should have a parental warning on your header.

    Very amazing pics of the clouds.

  18. i like diablo (i have a thing for white cats… my zach… i miss him!!!)

    i’m going to post some pics of the feral kitties that have been hanging around my parents house. the tenant is feeding them and stuff and she’s going to get them fixed… yay! but they’re cute

  19. Love the cloud shots. Bad weather makes for some gorgeous sights (especially when it goes around us).

    BTW I have a little contest on my blog.

  20. what beautiful sky pictures, even if the weather was tumultuous (I never could spell that word).

    Just for you, I’m posting a picture on my blog in a few minutes.

  21. Finally got some rain–about a gazillionth of an inch. Still waiting for lacey shawl knitting plans!!!!! No pressure or anything. Also, more info, please on the choc-covered rice cakes? Brand? Where you find them? Puh-leeeze!

  22. Oooh, dark and scary skies! Funny to see Diablo too. And. All. The. Bellies. They’ve been a hoot! Here’s a question…I’ve been looking, but can’t find it… Did you recently (like in the last 2 weeks) post a link to some contest where the blogger was so thrilled to be with a new web host? Something like ihs hosting? I thought I bookmarked it, but can’t find it. I’ve even been back through all your posts and links…no luck. Sound familiar? I’m after her blog host (not the contest…though I’m pretty sure I entered it!).
