Yiip Yiip

I asked Mark to help me make a new custom masthead for the top of this page. This is what he did:

...

... um, not what I was envisioning. But nice try.

Oliver finally got beat up by one of the new foster cats. I knew it was coming. Lately he's taken to running at them full speed and then bouncing back and forth about a foot from them (please take note that they rarely run away when this happens) growling his head off and generally being annoying.

He did it to Neville this evening and then he was suddenly screaming and crying like a sissy. Neville finally used the claws! He's whacked him a few times before now but didn't bother to put his claws out. I kind of think that's almost an insult to Oliver.

So this time he left him with a teensy scratch and Oliver came jumping into our laps, harrumphing and sighing and generally feeling sorry for himself.

Right about now I can hear some of you saying 'That'll teach him!'

Except that, unfortunately, NO IT WON'T.

I can make you a masthead. Give me an idea, and you're welcome to any picture in my Flickr if you want.

I hope you didn't comfort Oliver when he came running to you after getting what he deserved. I am happy to hear that the cats are confident. My kind of cat.... if there is such a thing.

Aww Jessie, that's a sweet offer. The truth of the matter is, I asked Mark (who is a computer programmer) to make me one knowing full well what I might end up with, BUT I got to see what program he used and how to work it by watching him make his masterpiece. Now I can make my own!

I usually like the pics on your blog. If I ever want to use any of your Flickr ones I will send you an email first - thank you!!

And Megan, no, we didn't comfort Oliver. Neville is a VERY confident cat. He can hold his own, so we mostly don't interfere.
