the many sleeping positions of nora the cat.

Nora's almost as lazy as me these days...

She will pretty much sleep anywhere,

Like with her head perched against my leg,

or her body drooped over the arm of the chair.

But she really does prefer a lovely spot in the sun.

whatchu looking at?

whiskers.

Nora's whiskers take up the vast majority of her face.

They are by far the biggest whiskers I have ever seen on a cat.

But, they make her her.

And, I love them (and her).

nora's favorite room in the apartment is....

The Bathroom!

Seriously, this cat cannot get enough of the bathroom. If I get up to go to the bathroom, she immediately jumps up as well to try to sneak her way in. She sits outside of the bathroom when I'm taking a shower. She LOVES this room. Just today, I walked past it on my way to get something from the bedroom and I spotted her here

I, of course, snapped a few pictures before telling her not to use the sink as her new favorite lounging area.

Then, later on, I heard her in the bathroom in what sounded like a raucous game of tug-of-war over the shower curtain. Sure enough, I went in there and it was her matched against the shower curtain rod. Since I was afraid she might win, I took her out of the bathroom and shut the door. It appeared to me that a little separation between Nora and the love of her life might do her some good; I mean I don't want to promote an unhealthy obsession.

However, I believe the obsession might have already come to pass. Not more than 5 minutes upon shutting Nora out of her beloved bathroom, did I find her stretching her paw under the door in some effort to reconnect with it. Another couple minutes later she had managed to pull the bath mat from the bathroom into the hallway from UNDERNEATH THE DOOR.

(the door she is laying up against is the one to the bathroom)

I guess she decided if she couldn't go into the bathroom, she would bring the bathroom out to her!

she's keeping her girlish figure.

meet Eleanor.

Eleanor (or Nora for short) is a tiny bundle of energy and yesterday she joined the family. At 10 months old, and weighing only 8 pounds, she's pretty tiny, but that hasn't stopped her exploring every inch of our 675 square foot apartment. She's the typical curious cat.

The car ride home from the shelter was traumatizing (but what car ride isn't for a cat?), but once she was out of her carrier and into the apartment, she has seemed pretty much at home. Her favorite place so far is our bed...oops! She's so cute though.
