Happy Jack Day!

It was on this Sunday, a year ago, that I brought home Jack, then known as Pumpkin, from the OSPCA.

On our trip home a year ago!

Well, it has been quite a year!  I'm so glad I brought him into my life. Although his oral fixation leaves something to be desired, he chews on nearly anything he can get his mouth around, although Apple cables, yarn and fingers are his favorite, I can't imagine life without him.

How Jack would like me to show him on the internet.

How he spends his time, really.

So Happy Jack Day! And here is to many, many more years of goofy orange cat goodness.

P.S. If you want to see more Jack photos check out the rest of the Feline Friday posts HERE or over in his very own album on Flickr (aka. hey Jack, you used to be really cute!).

Feline Friday: Temptations

Last Friday I had to go on a late night kitty litter run, and so my LPS (Local Pet Store), Mullens Pet Mart, was closed so I had to go to to Pet Valu.  And when I walked in, who did I see there? 

Thor and Catwoman

Thankfully after I came home Jack did something cute so I didn't have to feel quite so bad about not having space for them, because they were total sweethearts.  Someday I may get another cat, or two, my Grannie says you always need two cats so they can entertain each other, but not anytime soon.  

Feline Friday: What Jack did on his summer vacation

Well, nothing like making a liar out of yourself. My last blog post was nearly 3 months ago and I haven't finished a knitting project since. I've done lots of other things, like working long hours and regularly getting 12,000+ steps a day at work.  Since I got my new Garmin Vivofit in early July, I've taken over 600,000 steps! 

Unfortunately, that increase in activity has been at the expense of my knitting/crochet/spinning/weaving.  The only project I finished this summer was a cross stitch.

However, Fridays are Jack's day on the blog so here are just a few of the shots I got of the little beastie over the summer.

Lots of sleep, both in dignified and undignified positions, and being his big goofball self.  While Jack turned one, back at the end of August, he is still very much a kitten.  

My knitting mojo has been slowly returning, and I should have a FO any day now!

Feline Friday: Jack's First Day

It's been another busy week, and I didn't get any particularly good Jack picture (and as usual my apartment is a disaster which makes it tough to get pictures that doesn't show off my inability to keep things clean).  

So here are some of Jack's first pictures from the day I brought him home from the OSPCA.

He's still pretty cute, but I miss when he was a tiny little bugger. 

Also, I know it is all marketing for a major company, but have you seen the "Dear Kitten" video yet?  If not give it a watch, and understand that I am training Jack to be an astronaut and I will continue to call it va-coomb.
