Zzzz…Zzzz…Zzzz…

[Editor: Income has taken over his mother’s perch atop the “Cat Who” bookcase. If he doesn’t stop growing soon, he’ll have to find a new location.]

While independents and the media decide who will be the nominee of the Democratic party on Tuesday there will be a real democratic election in the Granite State to select the replacement for Nin, the retiring white and black tom, the long-serving mascot of the Mount Washington Observatory.

As these pictures show, the position is not exactly a day on the beach, but somecat has to do it.

Via Cookie Jill at skippy the bush kangaroo, The Mount Washington Mascot Primary features Marty, Sarah, and Wilson as candidates for this important position. I’m personally leaning towards Marty for his age, experience, and long coat.

Voting takes place from 8AM until 7PM [EST] on Tuesday, January, 8^th.

Together Again

Burn something!

[Editor: I’m using this shot from November, because today they are under a wool blanket and Sox is the only blob that can be readily identified. Korats and korat mixes are single coated and don’t have the outerwear for these temperatures. I have also lost the free use of my right hand, thanks to Ringo, but a butterfly bandage closed the wound.]

In Memoriam

Cat Daddy & Dr. Squeaky had to say goodbye to the noble greyhound, Tuffy.

Did You Know?

Yeeoow!

[Editor: In a timely reminder Ringo notes that American media moguls of the day didn’t pay Charles Dickens anything when they printed and sold his work in the US. (Note – this is an old picture because I’m still playing tour guide and gofor while relatives visit and the cats have been hiding in the comforter because of the cold spell.)]

The Struggle Continues

Light, Camera, No way

Forget it!

[Editor: In solidarity with the striking WGA members, Dot is not only not being cute, she is annoyed – with the AMPTP, Chris Lehane, and the flash.]

Not Cute

Hrumph?

[Editor: In solidarity with the striking WGA members, Sox is not being cute, or impersonating a penguin.]

Poser and Pavlov

[scritch…scritch…] Is it food?

[Editor: The gray juvenile is Poser, who strikes a pose whenever I see him, and the kitten dealing with an ear scratch is Pavlov. Pavlov is programmed to come running out whenever I open the back door in hopes of more food.]

Tryptophan Tripping

Yo, dude, what was that?

[Editor: The weather is getting colder and they overdid the turkey, so all of the indoor cats are sleeping.]

Mikey

Bugger off!

[Editor: Mikey hates everyone, but me especially. I give him food and he hisses and spits the entire time. He goes to the feeding area and takes his customary spot, but when I’m putting down the food in front of him, as always, he hisses at me.]

Turn up the heat!

[Editor: The nighttime temperatures of 40° tends to make the crew compatible to share the warmth. They are all there, although Property is in the back and hard to see.]

…Some of the Cats…

He’s making it up, right?

[Editor: Ringo, Income, Property, and Sox at the door, but Sox’s stories aren’t succeeding when Ringo is laughing and Property keeps asking her mom if that’s true. Property may be smaller than her brothers but she has enough tail for three cats.]
