Catching Up Part II: Cat

Vasco continues to amuse and occasionally annoy us (or, if you're Lucy, he continues to terrorize).

He loves to sleep in dog beds:

Moose's (this caused considerable annoyance for me, since he would sometimes claim this bed in the middle of the night, when Moose had temporarily gone elsewhere; Moose, upon returning, would whine/bark at me to remove him, rather than forcing him out using his 4-1 size advantage...):

Suzy's (while we were dogsitting):

He also loves to climb and look out from high places:

A door:

Another door:

A bookcase:

A cabinet:



And he continues to find cute places to lie, or cute poses to strike:

In a glass pan:


On our newly-installed Flor carpet:


And in various cute-overloading spots on the couch:





Here are a couple of short videos of him as well. In this one, Vasco demonstrates his climbing technique. He requests to be picked up by meowing, or sometimes simply jumps up on my leg and climbs me like a tree. He scrambles up on my shoulder, then requests to be brought over to various parts of the house, to sniff the wall, explore, and, if opportunity presents itself, find a nice place to perch for a while.



Does anyone else's cat do this? Vasco likes to run his paws over smooth surfaces-- our kitchen stools, window glass, or the bath tub. He seems to get a great deal of enjoyment out of this...
