I’m going to be in New York from Wednesday 4/11 through Sunday 4/15. This is not a work trip — it’s the first actual non-family-gathering vacation that Ingrid and I have taken in I don’t know how long — and while I’ll be looking in on comments to make sure that they’re not blowing up, [...]

I realize I’ve been slacking a bit lately on my cat blogging duties. I told myself that I had good excuses: I’ve been writing a book, getting ready for the Reason Rally, staying caught up on Project Runway All Stars. (Go, Mondo!) But a few weeks ago, Crommunist threw down the gauntlet. He dared — [...]

I’m seriously slammed right now, going over final corrections on Why Are You Atheists So Angry? 99 Things that Piss Off the Godless. Don’t have time to write a proper blog post. So instead, I’m giving my readers what I know they most want anyway: KITTEH BELLIES! I know. It’s almost nauseating how cute they [...]

Over the last few weeks, Ingrid and I have been discovering that everything — absolutely everything — takes longer when you have kittens. Writing, reading email, cooking dinner, emptying the dishwasher, getting dressed in the morning… everything we do takes more time now, because the kittens are interfering trying to help. Even watching TV takes [...]

On the other hand… our kittens are very cute! Here are all three of them in the sun room. And yes, we got those window seat/ cabinets with cats in mind. What’s your point? Lots more cuteness below the jump.

And now, some cute pictures of our kittens. We’ve taken to calling Talisker and Comet “Team Tabby.” The two of them just seem like a unit sometimes: they love to tussle, and they love to snuggle, and they love to chase each other up and down and up and down and up and down the [...]

And completing the introduction of each of our kittens individually, I’d like to introduce you all to Houdini.Houdini is the reason we have three kittens instead of two. We went to the adoption event of our friends who do fostering, with the full intention of adopting two kittens. In fact, other friends who knew we [...]

Continuing with the introduction of each of our kittens individually, I’d like to introduce you all to Comet.Comet is trouble. Right here in San Francisco. And that starts with a T, and that rhymes with C, and that stands for Comet! She’s not at all bad-natured or bad-tempered. She’s just very energetic — VERY, VERY, [...]

I’ve been blogging about all three of our new kittens a lot lately, with lots of photos of all of them piled up together, as if they were a conglomerate or a hive mind. The fact that all three like to play and snuggle together so much makes us ridiculously happy, and we have a [...]

I have a hypothesis about kittens and cuteness. Christina’s Theorem of Kitten Cuteness postulates that cuteness increases exponentially with the number of cats present. Thus, two kittens together aren’t twice as cute as one — they are four times as cute. And three kittens aren’t three times as cute as one — they are a [...]
