I needed a kitten interlude from the recent internet stupidity, so here you go. She likes to look over my shoulder as I do my research.
“Another bar graph, really? Those colors? Hey, did you correct for multiple testing?”
Maybe I should just let her take my general exam.
Blueaussi says
Wow, she’s gotten big! So nice to have all that fluffy love when you’re feeling stressed and stretched, too.
Aratina Cage says
There is such a look of contentment in Pixel’s face that I just have to SQUEEE! over it.
Katherine Lorraine, Chaton de la Mort says
She’s even bigger than MY kitty (and they were born around the same time I think! Of course, Snip is a runt)
Jen says
She’s huge. I think I accidentally adopted a lynx.
Katherine Lorraine, Chaton de la Mort says
Are you feeding her a moose for breakfast or something? :p
Irene Delse says
I think she’s saying: “Hmm. I’ll consider this blogmaster job if I get double helpings of food.”;-)
Stuart Taylor says
She’s so lovely! She’s the same size and has the same markings as my cat, Goldblum, except Pixel has the tabby stripes. Beauty!
How much does she weight now?
Kels says
Look forward to an ERV article about how you want to kill all dog owners.
Also, my boy Momo is about that size, maybe a bit bigger. Big cats can be pretty awesome.
Parse says
I also recently adopted a cat (well, more like the cat adopted me, but that’s a long story), and I also named her Pixel. (Heinlein fans of the world unite!) Nothing chases away the stress of the world like a social, purring kitty.
Though I don’t know about your Pixel, if mine got into research, she’d probably try sequencing the DNA of the Common Cardboard Box.
dianne says
Cute picture!
Improbable Joe says
Pixel!
cycleninja says
Pixel’s actual thought balloon: “Feed me, plz.”
cycleninja says
Maybe she’s part Maine Coon.
Marcie says
You look very beautiful! The cat is cute too.
Rrr says
“The Jen Genie!” /obtuse/obscure_Bowei_ref
Kels says
An old roommate’s cat was part bobcat. It treed a doberman once.
HumanisticJones says
Had several confirmed part Maine Coon cats… I’d say that Pixel definitely has a bit in there. Maine Coon mixes are such sweet cats too. Very big, snuggley, and affectionate… like cat versions of Teddy Bears.
jenea says
hate to say it, but that’s a cat, not a kitten. :)
a beautiful cat!
JustKat says
But can she haz a cheezburger?
Utakata says
Pixel is not huge, she just has high resolution. >.>
Stephanie Zvan says
All scientists need pets that will remind them to correct for multiple testing. Go, Pixel!
SpitefulFox says
D’AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Lofty says
Pixel: Mmmm, just protecting my human against stray moths and other crunchy stuff….
bengilder says
Looks like she already haz :-)
Georgia Sam says
Yeah, my cat give me unsolicited critiques of my work, too. Cats are such know-it-alls.
Georgia Sam says
gives
kyoungers says
such adorable big paws!
R Johnston says
Nah, but next time consider a kitten preemption of the internet stupidity rather than a kitten interlude.
And if a preemption doesn’t quite work, maybe let Pixel type out any responses you feel the need to make. The discussion at ERV and the like could use the elevation that Pixel would bring.
Prof. Bleen says
She looks like she’s riding a Tron lightcycle.
Phledge says
She definitely looks like she’s got some Maine Coon in her. Also, she wants to make sure your shit is right so you can keep affording the metric fuckton of kibble she needs on a daily basis. She’s got her priorities.
beardofpants says
She looks like a lynx seal point ragdoll. Ragdolls are huge.
Jadehawk, chef d’orchestre féministe says
that’s not contentment. that’s judgment
Ex Patriot says
I love your cat, I have 2 myself and they are some of the best people I know
Improbable Joe says
What sort of food are you feeding that monster anyways?
Aratina Cage says
XD
left0ver1under says
Now there is the face of a troublemaker.
The cat, I mean. ^_^
aurophobia says
I am strongly in favor of more kitteh pictures. :)
Sandiseattle says
I agree, we are talking about a cat after all. :-)
Sandiseattle says
AWESOME! love the image.
Sandiseattle says
I once started reading a book about Cats and Calculus, seems cats rule the world bcuz they kno calculus. Can’t remember the title.
Alexa says
I see the Maine Coon! Look at the tufts of fur between the paws. And the size! Cute!
Alexa says
Pixel is so cute! You should post more pictures. (Or do you have a gallery somewhere?) Also, you have fantastic lips, Jen. I’m jealous!
Fiona says
kitties rule!
Mike says
Those paws are huge. She looks at least part Maine Coon with a dash of bobcat for good measure.
Mike says
My ex had a Maine Coon for years named Sugar. Every morning it was kitty shiatsu. Deep tissue massage with scars for free, alarm clock, and fuzzzzzzzy footwarmer, all for the price of dry cat food, and chicken livers.
