My mother sent the dog and cat a holiday package (the grandcritters!) and as always we opened it on Christmas morning.

Morgan got his toy first, while the dog was out in the yard: a stripy stuffed caterpillar that is the best thing ever.

The Ferocious Monster finally demonstrates the truth of his name for the camera!

Morgan also demonstrated something else for the camera.

Of course he didn’t fall off the couch. He’s a cat, and cats don’t do that.

Grendel got a toy too, of course. He’s not making the present face, he’s making the “pleasepleaseplease don’t take my picture you’re not going to use the nasty horrid flash are you” face. Really! We’ll take the toy outside to play and get some better photos then.

I hope you all are having as much fun as Morgan.

    I love the photos of Morgan. I also liked the ones early showing cats who are not Morgan. My cat Shadow is another of these near-clones. She has a small white cravat on her chest to distinguish her. She is occasionally called “fearsome beast” when in attack mode, but much more often is “demoness from hell”. Especially when she yawns and shows all her teeth.

    I hope you are having fun with your new loom. Both of my looms are currently with friends. Reading your blog inspires me to get back to weaving.

    Oh, another (almost) matching cat. They really are everywhere.

    I haven’t had as much fun with the new loom as I’d like, since I am completely swamped, but I hope to spend some time with it this weekend. I’d really like to get the sample warp woven off (finally!) so I can put a real project on.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
