cats and cooking.: how 'bout some cats to go with that cooking?

SO. i wanted to balance out all this cooking action with some cat action. as you may (or may not) know, i moved into a new apartment in the much nicer brookline area. the catminos are LOVING the new place. seriously. amanda ventures out of my room and into the living room and get this, KITCHEN. gypse is just as happy as can be. beeb is nice and confident and finding some new favorite places. so get ready for some really catlady-y photos right now.

so i know this isn't a cat. BUT i though it'd be a nice transition from the cooking and farms aspect of this whole thing into the cats part of it. this is FRESH CATNIP. my roommate cait brought it back from her garden in vermont. so rad!

it is in the mint family!

WHY is gypsy so cute. i cannot even handle this accidental photo.

please forgive my super awkward foot.

hey morgan, what is your patronus? BEHOLD:

i just want to pet beeb SO much but she rarely allows it.

my new apartment has really deep window sills. perfect for making a cat perch!!

pirate beeb?

and amanda. her presence in my life is out-shined only by that of my mother.

her eyes are NOT usually that creepy. have you ever tried photographing
a black cat? because i do almost every day and its really really
hard to get it to come out okay.

she mostly sleeps all day, but really cutely!

oh yeah, you stretch that arm girl.

i know she is really thin. also some other parts of her shape are just not normal. but she is beautiful and i love her just the way she is and if you are mean about it i'll kill you.

even the oldest cats still love a good sun-basking.

OKAY and here is the gem of this post. are you ready? dug up from the archives in my grandparents' basement? a real treasure. this is some planet earth material right here.
