While I was hiding at SarahK’s place from Hurricane Frances, I got to meet her cat Minerva. She kept bothering me, sitting between me and my laptop when I was trying to blog and clawing at my face while I was trying to sleep. Then I figured out, “Hey, wouldn’t she be happy sleeping in the lamp!”

“Oh, what a predicament I’m in. How in Heavens shall I get out of this here lamp?”
Aww, she fits in there perfectly. What a happy cat.
Why don’t you all try captioning the picture now in the comments. Yay Sunday fun!
NOTE: For anyone worried, I was actually holding both the top of the lamp and the cat for the picture; I just photoshopped myself out.
Okay, I’m just adding this note to brag how good I am with photoshop.

Caption: “When I get down I’m gonna crap in Big Squeaky Toy’s headphones!”
Caption: …but regardless of her stragtegic high ground advantage, Minerva knew that she couldn’t avoid Chomps forever.
Caption: Michael Moore devises ingenious snack station for every American who has always wanted to be a blimp.
[Ok, ok, thats awful… but I had to at least try.]
“…Yeah, it isn’t that funny now, but watch what happens when I turn on the power to the 300 watt bulb I put in the lamp…”

“Whew, good thing I’m made it the top of this lamp before that strange human could grab me. Oh snap! Now he’s putting on a climbing harness!”
Caption: “Don’t you dare Photoshop yourself out of this, jerk!”
Caption: Now, how do you flush this thing?
“Hey, SarahK, you’ll never guess what was clogging up the toilet…!”
Why, Frank, you’re soooo good at Photoshop…
Caption:
I am king of the world!!!!!!!!
Lame, I know.
Caption: (A filthy lie by Glen Reynolds) Attempting to be like me, Frank J. entered the bar with his now infamous ‘Cat Martini’, a pale comparison to my blended puppy.

Rob wins it
Hungry Hungry Michael Moore will never find me here!

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTEh!
(cats are my weak point. Women, consider yourselves tipped off.)
My aunt has a cat that looks just like Minerva… her name’s Miele (honey).
(why did I just write that? AGH!)
Morphius Kane: Love your “Cat Martini” caption.
BTW, congrats on choosing the best branch.

“NOTE: For anyone worried, I was actually holding both the top of the lamp and the cat for the picture; I just photoshopped myself out.”
Bull! You left that poor cat up there and after you took the picture you turned the light on. Hey, if you’d do it to a monkey you’d do it to a cat.
“I can see my litterbox from heeeeerrrrre!”
“I wonder why my food-bringing human and that other human are on the floor making those strange noises.”
What Frank says to cat: Just stay right there Minerva so I can take a nice funny photo.
What the Cat hears: Wah Wah Wah Wha, Minerva, Wah Wah Wha Wha Wha Wha.

These cheap WalMart lamps aren’t nearly as warm as the ones from Lowe’s.
Caption: Wait until Big Squeaky Toy falls asleep. I’m gonna stick my head in his mouth ’til he screams. Then I’m gonna snuggle Ma!
Jack.
When they go to sleep I’m going to mess with them till sunrise.
Then I’m going to puke a hairball on the pale one’s pillow. Cause he looked at me wrong.
Thats ok, going to leave a little treat up here, for when they turn the lights on next time.

Well, this is not for the CC since I got nuthin’ but as far as the face clawing is concerned it could be one of 3 things.
1. she was poking you in the face trying to figure out where that strange noise(that humans call snoring) is coming from.
2. she was trying to wake so you would pull back the covers so she can snuggle in closer (my cats do that.)
3. she is making the “bury it” motions on your head – in which case her opinion of you is not good.

“I hope Chomps can’t find me Here!?!”

Caption: “Stupid Human Tricks…aren’t they funny? Wait, now I’m peeing in the bowl…who’s laughing now Funny Man?”
“Git me down!! This is swinging too much!! is swinging… MEEOOOOWWWW!!!” (glass breaking)
Temujin, that lamp is from Kirklands.
Hey, if you’re that good with PhotoShop, how do we know you didn’t PhotoShop yourself into those pictures of the just really incredibly good-looking Sarah K.?
Caption This was just a warning shot. Next time, it’s in your wheaties
Ma, send Frank home or I’ll jump!
“I guess I was wrong, there are no birds in this shiny glass nest”
Here, Franky, Franky…just a little closer. (then you’ll be sorry)
Get ready for some real broken glass you good ol’ boy Republican!
Cheers and LAUNCH!
