Clever DIY idea for making a light box in a suitecase.
Like to build things from cardboard? This article has links to ten things you can make from cardboard, from a kitty chaise to a laptop stand to a starter macro photography kit.
Whoa. Good question.
Although the Gizmodo article’s a bit snarky, check out the pet photography tips from Li of Fat Orange Cat Studios. Yes, she does also blog at domesticrafts.
Oh my – a USB drive that transforms into a panther!
More IKEA hacks for hiding litterboxes.
Make your own deluxe kitty windowsill perch.
Hmm. Who does this print remind me of?
Doesn’t this look tasty? Gluten-free chocolate rootbeer cake. *nom nom nom*
You’re at the theater, watching a movie and you desperately have to pee but don’t want to miss anything. This website will help you figure out the best time to take your break.
Rest easy, citizens of Boston – your police department promises to alert you when the zombies attack.
I had no idea LEGO was making an Architecture line – check out the Fallingwater kit!
Feline Strategy #2 for Dealing with Unexcused Human Absence:
“Oh, did you go somewhere? I didn’t notice.” -Chaos
I love the litter box idea!
Looks like someone is not too happy with you; maybe you should bring him with you next time 🙂
It’s been so hot here, I might actually be able to cook something in that solar oven. But with all the chipmunks and squirrels running around, I don’t think I will 😉
You are a font of information! I really must try that root beer cake soon.
Chaos, you give her grief every time she goes, but dude, it hurts you more than it hurts her. Don’t you want a scritch?
Ignoring – good strategy Chaos! Perhaps she’ll ignore thos tummy growls at dinner time!
RunPee really made me laugh.
Talk about the “cold shoulder” — someone has kicked it up a notch. That windowsill perch is really neat.
Ha!
I love the feline strategy – me thinks I shall institute that strategy for dealing with life in general.
Have a great day Chris..
PS: Thanks for the linkity…

oh man, the coldness of the cat ass, i’ve seen it many times before
I delurked a while ago, but wanted to leave you a note to let you know how much the pics of Mayhem and Chaos brighten my day:). Thanks!
Wow! Lego is 7 years too late for us! in 4th grade Teen had to build a model of Falling Waters for a KEY unit on Architecture – wow – that was HARD.
Benny has finally given up on that particular unexcused absence tactic.
The best thing about our condo (speaking of the cat) is that it has these wide window ledges, so the cat can sit by the windows without any additional perch options. I’m sure we’ll have to look into something like this when we move.
Actual conversation with Oliver, while reading your blog:
“Mummy, who is that with the two kitties?” (pointing to your avatar)
“That’s my friend Chris, and those are her two kitties.”
“Mummy! Look at that BIG EYE!”
“Yeah, that’s her kitty’s eye. Cool, eh?”
“I have to go poo.”
So, to summarize: Oliver likes your blog.
That RunPee is brilliant! I’ll be using that–thanks for the heads up.
The “I didn’t notice you were gone” strategy is in full force here today, too.
Chaos should be pleased to know that he just scared the poop out of Oliver. So to speak.
Maybe if you made the kitties one of those window perches, they’d forgive you.
I just saw that Fallingwater Lego model. It is gorgeous! We loved Legoland last year, and the kids are harassing us to go again!
I think if you were to make a window perch or two for Chaos and May, they might forgive you for going away for the weekend (catnip might help too).
The legos are cool.
I bow before your amazing link-o-rama skilz!
I love Fat Orange Cat Studio’s explanation of how the NYTimes found her to interview her about pet photography–via knitting blogs. Ha!
Mr. O’Kitten wants the USB drive that turns into Ravage (as he pointed out, that is no “ordinary” black panther [as if black panthers were ever ordinary], but a Transformer, lol).
You do indeed have amazing link-o-rama skills.
Chris- Did you miss me? Firefox borked my computer.
If they’re showing you the butt, the message is clear.
Runpee.com. BRILLIANT!
The cat with the four leaf clover looked like Sammy! I think you need a panther USB 🙂 Chocolate rootbeer cake sounds yummy. Chaos really wants you to know you are in trouble!!!
Aw. You’re getting the tail.
that cardboard linky is really cool….
thanks for the cool links!
LOL at RunPee! Our local theatre has 3 sizes of drinks – the teeny espresso size, the quart size, and the gallon size. I often have to get up during the movie.
I’ve been eyeing the deluxe kitty perch as something I need to make some day.
Uh oh, turning their kitty back’s on you is a bad sign. I think you have a lot of making up to do. 😉
Oh, those kitties can hold a grudge, can’t they?
What great kitty pictures/
I used a cardboard box to line my new spinning wheel bag – and I will never, ever do it again. Holy headache of a project. (but I have the only Amy Butler spinning wheel bag in my guild! lol)
