Every first Caturday of the month, there is a little celebration at Mission Dolores Park, where a bunch of people bring their kitties out for an airing. Some of them are very shy and uninterested in poking their heads out of their cat carriers, and some of them are quite gregarious.
The park was ridiculously crowded. I was amazed any of the cats were willing to come out at all. Hell, a lot of the dogs were terrified.
We are having a puppydog-eyes week, huh? Lulu is definitely not happy with the giant inflatable ring of shame, although I have to say it probably is better than a cone.
I have to admit, it looks comfier than the plastic cone.
Yesterday’s pup has some competition in the ‘puppydog eyes’ department!
I didn’t get this poor sweetie’s name. She was being so amazingly patient in her bag, but you could see that she just wasn’t into the whole ‘flying’ thing.
Well, that’s why on Hipmunk we list our flights by ‘agony’. Flying is never a lot of fun, at least for those of us without private jets. We’re all stuck in bags, just some of us have larger ones.
Look at that one straggly whisker just sticking out there. She has ‘bag-head’!
Shandy is technically a puppy (11 months) but he is fully grown. And… wow. Can you believe that expression?
I challenge you to find anyone who would not melt under that gaze.
Murphy is 11 weeks old in these pictures, and staggeringly cute. I have too many pictures to caption or hovertext, so you’ll just have to make do with the adorableness unfiltered.
I admit it: I’ve been messing around with the new Harry Potter game for the iPhone. I’ve found it predictably annoying, mostly because I want to read it like a book and they want to milk me like a cow. But that’s neither here nor there. It does have some genuinely funny moments, although they may not have been planned.
While Hogwarts is a magical place, I am pretty sure this wasn’t what the artists intended.
There’s a cat at KitTea who really seems to like doing this kind of thing.
This is one of KitTea’s permanent residents, apparently. And yup, she likes people’s backs.
This is a pup from the building I work at. Pretty sure she’s been on here before, but I can’t remember her name.
Edit: Well, that’s always annoying. I hit publish on this yesterday, and… it didn’t.
Someone got chewed on when she was a puppy.
I didn’t recognize Lucy’s breed, she was so freshly shorn. She’s not a puppy, she’s 4, but she sure looks like one, doesn’t she?
Tibetan terriers are becoming a little more popular. I’ve been seeing more of them in recent years.
Still rare enough to be worth chasing down, though.
I hadn’t seen Cody in quite a while, and I ran into him again over the weekend. He’s looking great, although it’s hard to believe he’s already four years old!
Cody looks so sad. He’s not: it’d just been a really long day (this was taken at eleven o’clock at night.)
