mister, can we have our blog back?

Tuesday 22 August 2006 | I like a cookie

So…it’s nearly 2:30 in the morning and it’s all over but the screaming (and the fearsome tangle of garbled ellipses, em-dashes and diacritical marks). For those who are inquisitive about the process of changing web hosts, I refer them to international human rights legislation as set forth by the Geneva Convention. In other words, it’s not quite as much fun as a sharp stick in the eye. In case we haven’t been abundantly clear: Don’t do it. Ever. If you break the chain you will have seven years of bad luck. Edna Snodhockey of Woonsocket broke the chain and she tripped over a lawn chair and died.

But since we are back up and limping along, some pictures to reward the patient. Qu’est-ce qui passe, là-bas?

mass of undifferentiated fur, right?

Just a mass of undifferentiated kitten fur, right?—but allow us to assist:

a wha' a panic's in thy breastie!

Still can’t quite believe your eyes? Here’s the close-up:

money shot of nursing mousie

It is, as my godsister would say, just cute as shit.

In the interest of intra-species harmony, Ms. Mama Cat and her nursing mousie coexisted peacefully for about two weeks. Then one morning, Mousie had vanished without a trace. Perhaps he’d grown tired of being a kitten, and wandered off restlessly; or perhaps (and, sadly, more likely) he made some hesitant rodent-like gesture, some furtive yet revealing I’m-not-a-kitten movement, and Mama’s lazy hospitality was overpowered by centuries-old predatory instincts.

Thus ends our fuzzy, sickeningly adorable mammalian tale, red in tooth and claw.

NB by the way that if you do not select an avatar one will be dictatorially assigned to you. And it may not be all that pretty. I'm just saying.
