In which I am fully aware I post too many pictures of my cat.
Make no mistake; my cat is Pervert. She pretty much loves the crap out of me. I save and share as much of it as I can. Why wouldn’t I? Have you not seen her? She is a hideously cute blue-eyed Voldemort-faced toothless Milo stain rag. My partner describes her as “crack.” People bring her up as a valid conversation topic when they bump into me.

happy sunday morning snuggle.
Is every other photo on my Instagram of Pervert? Yes. Is she a staple of my Facebook cover page? Always. I don’t think you can see my face online without seeing hers close by. I think you might even see her face more than you’ll see mine online. At home, she’s with me from the moment I walk up to the door. She knows I am always on stuff like Twitter, Instagram and work on Facebook. But then she has her cat moments, like still doesn’t understand why I drench myself in water twice a day. In bed, she sleeps as close as she can to me while I work, nags at my laptop screen for taking up my attention, leans on me to sleep, and protests when I leave her for more work in the morning.

ignoring her protest.
As much of a crazy cat lady as I am, I can’t say she means everything to me. But I do know that I mean everything to her. If she makes sure I never work or sleep alone at night (whether I like it or not), my warped logic says why not make sure she is on that screen I stare into all the time? She’d appreciate it. It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. Pervert knows all my daily rituals. She smells emotions off my voice. Okay, that one’s far-fetched I’ll give ya. She parallels her routines to those rituals though. I think it makes sense that she’d notice and appreciate the gesture.
So when she sees me working late at night, I thought it’d be nice if she also saw her face regularly appearing in all that mess. When I feel like my soul is being nibbled at by screen light and look away, I see her next to me, guaranteed adorable, and all I want to do is capture that and bring it back with me here. For you, sure, but she’s going to look up at me in a few moments, so really? For her.
I would love a playdate with her and Tard the cat. But I’d probably have to get her famous on Youtube first.

- 2013: A slight change of scenery here this year. Get cosy, & do call it twenty-thirteen.
Dizzy: also goes by Liy. in Kuala Lumpur since 1987. Well on her way to becoming the crazy cat lady her mother raised her to be. Still has the reading bug her father gifted when young. (more)

a mixed-bag soundtrack from quiet evenings, noisy nights, long drives, infected from friends, hanging up laundry, that sort of thing.

You’re so lucky! None of my cats are that way. Only come near when they want food or company to go to the loo. Doesn’t stop me from taking too many pictures, nevertheless!
