I don’t know what Groucho was thinking…

Maybe DC dared him? Maybe he was convincing himself that the vacuum cleaner was not a terrible monster? Maybe he was high? Who knows?

Sometimes DC prefers chewing on the camera’s lanyard to posing for me.

I put a chair by my desk for DC so she wouldn’t have to sleep on my desk while I was working.

I think it’s time to change the topsheet.

Here is a picture of my Uncle and Aunt’s cat Minzi:

Isn’t she gorgeous?

My Uncle and Aunt live in Berlin, which is where I was earlier this week. Before that, I attended the 4th Language Creation Conference in Groningen:

I had an absolutely wonderful time. It was great meeting conlangers in person!

It might still be Friday in California, so I am technically “not late”.

I am in Groningen for the Fourth Language Creation Conference. Last night 19 of us went out to dinner at a lovely restaurant called De Gulzige Kater (“the greedy tomcat”). My plan was to take a picture of a Dutch cat for the weekly cat picture, but I got so caught up in doing set up and having dinner and fun that it never really happened. I did get this, though:

That counts, right?

No?

OK. David Peterson saved my bacon, then, my generously slipping me this picture:

So enjoy!

Both DC and Groucho have been enjoying the weather lately.

Every so often DC gets bored with traditional cat toys and goes after something that moves on its own.

After a while the grasshopper got away. It then took refuge on my ceiling for several days.

This did not make me happy. I said to myself, “What if gravity should exert itself while I am sitting underneath it? Bad kitty.”

However, eventually my wonderful goddaughter came by to catch the grasshopper and release it back into the wild, where I am sure it will live happily ever after or until my cat catches it again.

I was thinking that for today, I’d just post a link to a cat cartoon:

New Simon’s Cat cartoon for Easter

but then there is this fun picture of DC playing with her bällchen-in-a-box:

One of DC’s favorite things is sitting on my lap while I am working at my desk. Needless to say, this is not one of my favorite things. 🙂
