Her Royal Neediness.

This week while Terrence was at CTIA in New Orleans, Penny was more needy than ever. This usually happens when he goes away. For those of you that don’t already know, Terrence works from home and Penny is very attached to him. So when he’s gone and I work all day, she gets lonely. She either shows this by being overly needy or overly depressed. The day I took this photo was definitely the latter.

This particular day Penny stayed in bed from the time I went to bed around 5am (I don’t sleep well when Terrence is away), and didn’t get up until I scooped her at 2:30ish that afternoon. This is not normal Penelope Pussycat behavior, I thought she was defective. She didn’t like me very much for disturbing her, but I made up for it by letting her sit outside with me. She loves the back steps.

Tonight Terrence returns, we’re both oh so excited. Well, Penny doesn’t know she’s excited yet, but she is… trust me.

Got a package.

I put Penny in this box and closed it up so I could present it to Terrence as a gift. Once he was done being psyched about his awesome kitty, I took her away and returned the box to the floor so she could hop out. Instead of leaving the box Penny decided to camp out in it… because she’s adorable.

A nose by any other name.

Today I wanted to focus on one of my favorite parts of Miss Pussycat, her nose.  We believe our kitty to be the most beautiful of all kitties, and this teeny detail may be the biggest reason.  When she was a kitten she had ringworm on her nose, and even then it was still adorable. Disease ridden, but adorable. She only got slightly irritated by me taking incredibly close range photos of her today.  Penny let me know when she was done by putting her little paw on the camera lens, damn cute kitty.  I then stopped and played some games with her, then gave her a couple of treats as payment for her hard work.

Attention whore.

While I was in the middle of shooting photos for this last style post someone got a little jealous and needy. Penny nudged her head into the camera several times and then laid in front of me, turned onto her back and began soliciting pets with her adorable meowing.

A look back in time.

I haven’t really been taking photos of Penny recently. I love her all the same, but lately we spend most of our down time cuddling, sleeping and crying rather than playing and snapping photos. Give us time, we’ll get back in the swing of things soon enough. But just to remind you how adorable Miss Pussycat is…

a teeny kitten.

Randomly Penelope.

People think that I’m obsessed with my cat Penelope “Penny” Pussycat. They tell me that I tweet nothing but pictures of her… which is a lie! Really. I was going through my twitter feed, to link to all the Penny madness, and could only find 3 photos of her (here, here, and here). Hmmph, in your face… haters. I can not however vouch for how much I talk about my kitty… I didn’t search that. No comment. Terrence is way worse than me, I swear.

SHE’S JUST SO ADORABLE!

Anyway, because my cat is so amazing, I thought it fitting to add a regular series here about her… to showcase the adorable. This way now people can complain that all I do is blog about my cat.  Which is fine by me, my cat is worth the noise.

She was inside of it earlier, which is way cuter but this works too.

And then there was Dutch… (who is also by the way the cutest dog of all time and the best)

Usually they nap near each other, don’t get me wrong… they’re only about 6 feet apart at the moment.  I worry for Penny sometimes, her and Dutch are about 10 years apart, she’s so attached to him that she howls at the door when we take him for walks. I tried to train her to walk on a leash so she could come with him… but she’s too inconsistent and slow. She’s happily co-dependent, one of her better traits.

Flashback: Penny on her 2nd birthday. I can’t believe I didn’t want a cat… how crazy of me.
