Duncan: Zen philosopher

Duncan is such a big old puddin’ head. He can be so sweet and lovable at times and he can be so annoying at other times.

Sometimes he follows me around the house meowing incessantly for no good reason. If I’m sitting at the computer and he doesn’t want me there, he harasses me for […]

Duncan’s meow

Duncan missed me. You know I love him, but ever since I got back he has been annoying as hell. I don’t mind when a cat meows, but Duncan’s been whining. A lot.

Check out this video. It’s Duncan whining in a whiny little voice. Whoever heard of a twenty pound cat with a squeaky little […]

Duncan’s secret

Duncan has a deep, dark secret – one he managed, until now, to hide from me and the world in general. But last night his secret leapt out of the shadows and into the light and – if you like mixed metaphors – the cat was out of the bag.

I’ll give you a hint: Duncan’s […]

Duncan takes off his winter underwear

Remember when I told you that Norwegian Forest Cats are known for taking off their long underwear in the Springtime?

“The back legs are adorned with knickers. A once or twice-weekly comb-through is sufficient except in springtime, when the cat begins to ‘take off its winter underwear’.” (Source)

They make it sound so sweet, don’t they? Like […]

What were you thinking??

About this whole business of waking up at 5:00 a.m. in order to walk for an hour and twenty minutes to get to the gym so I can work out for an hour before work: what I want to know is why didn’t you guys try to stop me??

I’m exhausted. I’m in pain. Did you […]

The catnapping

I was planning to blog about my vacation first thing this morning, but Duncan insisted on monopolizing my hands all morning. He just now decided he could handle a few minutes alone in his basket while I blog.

I got home last night and headed over to Elgin Street to collect Duncan. I knocked […]

In hot pursuit of imaginary birds

I was planning to take the whole week off blogging while I was gone, but I’m with three regular blog readers and they need a fix. Me too.

I was a little stumped about what to blog about though. I didn’t bring the camera’s USB cable, so I can’t get my photos out of my camera […]

NEWSFLASH: Duncan does Elgin Street

Why Duncan didn’t come to bed

Duncan was acting strange yesterday. He spent almost all day in the basement, lying on the mat in front of the washing machine. He didn’t seem sick; he just wanted to be alone. I get like that sometimes too, but I don’t usually lie on the mat in front of the washing machine.

I […]

A good Good Friday (and an unexpected gift)

For some time now, I have enjoyed a friendly parallel blogging relationship with the Elgin Street Irregulars. They’re a local group blog with a stable of clever writers and interesting characters. At first they puzzled me with all their in-jokes and self-referential wanking, but I persevered and after awhile I began to “get” them, and […]
