Now that Floyd is feeling better, he politely requests that no photos be taken during his performances. And if you do try to take his picture?

No, he never stops moving. Never. Aren’t kittens supposed to get sleepy at some point and curl up into a charming little ball?

And no, no, no, this is not turning into a cat blog. Un unh. Not gonna happen. Though I do think he’ll get better about the whole posing for photos thing soon. I hope so… Obviously, he’s feeling a hell of a lot better. He goes back to the vet tomorrow for a recheck and for shots.

Believe it or not, there will soon be knitting to show. (Remember when I used to talk about knitting? Remember when I used to, like, knit all the time? Wasn’t that cool? Yeah. Sigh.) The Lopi cardi is all done, save the collar. I’m going to seam it up and knit the collar this weekend, and then I’m going to need your help decided on the closure. Zipper? Toggles? Buttons… Oh, the choices. It all depends on how this beast ends up fitting, of course. Stay tuned.

  1. Floyd is looking so much happier! I’m looking forward to the sweater pics, but seeing Floyd really makes my day, so don’t feel guilty!

  2. I can clearly see that he IS better from his eyes … the windows to his soul! You’ve done an excellent job taking care of him. And I don’t at all mind a cat blog! 😉

  3. I’m allergic to them and I still think he’s cute.

    But knitting is interesting too. Sometimes.

  4. Nobody doesn’t like kitten photos! Besides, Floyd totally matches your website colors, which is visually appealling to boot.

  5. Dear, sweet little Floyd! So glad he’s feeling better. Kittens DO sleep, but only when you’re not at home. They store up most of their energy for when you silly humans are sleeping, which is the ideal time to bounce around like a superball. Can’t wait to see the new cardigan!

  11. It’ll never be a cat blog, and it’ll never be a dog blog, and it’ll never be a knitting blog, because it’s a Cari blog, and that’s all those wrapped up and more. And that’s why we loves ya.

  12. Perhaps I should have warned you. You see, once a woman I know gave me a tiny kitten she found in the street, and the minute this kitten felt better she began bounding around and climbing up my leg and tangling up my knitting. And I started posting cute kitten photos on my blog. Maybe you’ve seen them?

  13. Detective Kitty Mike Floyd is looking much more active after his life threatening episode known only as the “Lou Reed” assignment. He is currently training at FBI (Feline Betterment Institute) Headquarters (aka the empty room at Cari’s).

  14. I always thought that knitting and cats go very well together: all that fuzzy, warm, luxurious fur/yarn have a lot of similarities. Except yarn does not jump around (unless the cats help it). Can’t wait to see Floyd posing next to the cardi!

  19. Um, you can post as many pics of Floyd as you want. And also your doggies. And if the knitting gets in there, that’s cool too. I just like the cuteness.

    And also I want to give kisses to that tiny adorable kitten schmoo. Mwah.

  20. Oh, Floyd and Cari just make me giggle. He IS an adorable little kitten schmoo. I think I need to seriously get back on my homeopathic meds (that I’ve been sort of half-assed about lately), so I can cuddle him when I come down. My body seems to think I’m allergic to cats. Damn body.

  21. Noooo, silly, silly human! Kittens don’t actually sleep until they are maybe 5,6 years old. And then only until you get home.
    And certainly not at 4am. Or 5 for that matter.
    🙂 What a cute little furball you’ve got there. Can’t wait to meet him.

  22. Yay for healthy kittens! And just a side note, even if he is FIV+ he can live a looong time. it’s all in the way the dice roll.

  27. He does look like he’s feeling better! And–here’s my personal theory. I think that we all–dogs, cats, people–are allotted a certain amount of energy for our lifetimes but that most of us don’t plan ahead and use it all up when we’re really, really young–basically getting advances on future energy-allowances . . . which ultimately leaves us all as senior citizens who are too darn tired to get up. Energy conservation should start young! But meantime . . . I expect he’ll fall asleep in a year or so . . .

  28. Aww, he looks so much better! And more orange! (Orange cats are the best kind.) My cats slept a lot in the beginning when they were afraid of me… They’d curl up into tiny little balls in the four cubic inches of space in the case around my electric sander, or into the three-inch-wide ledge between the baseboard and the wall. Now they chew on my hair at 4 am.

  38. What a difference!! Little Floyd is starting to show a round little belly – the definitive sign of a happy kitten. You did SUCH a good thing!!
    Posted by: ria

  39. So cute! How are the dogs doing with Floyd? My kitten was terrified of the dogs at first (and they wanted to play with the new toy mom brought home!), but now she likes to tease them and play.

    I have to live vicariously through you since DH says no more pets…..

  40. Oh… oh my goodness. I haven’t been by in a little while, so I got all 3 kitten posts at once. The poor, lucky little thing, those first photos made me weepy. Is he going to stay with you? Lucky boy, I’m so glad you found him. I’d take him is we were on the same side of the continent.

  47. Rock on Floyd, and I’m excited for the Lopi Cardi. Rock on Lopi, rock on Cari, rock on vets, rock on closure choices, …….oh, sorry. I’ll shut up now.

  48. Floyd is looking much healthier and he’s turning into quite a cute little kitten. His eyes look better and he’s so fluffy! His fur is looking much better, too. I don’t mind cat blogs. It’s fun to see what everyone else’s cats are up to.

    Seasoned cat-owner: HA! Ha, ha, ha, ha. Heeeee,eeeeeeeee hahahahahaha eeeeeeeheeeeee eeeeeehahahahahaha. HA! heeeeeee….. Good luck with that, though. He will start sleeping more, though. Instead of sleeping only when you are away, he’ll start sleeping only when you want to pet him. This will happen around the time he’s 9. Plus, the only pictures of him you’ll ever get to take (including pictures taken whilst he’s sleeping and/or sedated) will be mildly to radically blurred from his movement.

  54. Super cute kitty. Totally worth the complete hell it looks like he’s going to put you through.
    “Though I do think he’ll get better about the whole posing for pictures thing soon.”
    Seasoned cat owner: HA! Hahahahahaha! Heeheeheeheehee…eeeeeeeeeeee! Ha hee hehehe eeee hahahahahaha (sicks up on self) eeeeeee….
    Rest assured that all of his kitten pictures (unless he’s heavily sedated, and possibly even then) will be unidentifiable blurs. Plus, he won’t start sleeping more until he’s about 7, when he’ll sleep whenever you want to pet him instead of whenever you’re away. Good luck, welcome to the happiest and most opressed people on Earth, the cat-owned. P.S. Cats just destroy yarn.

  55. have you noticed how we knitters are *constantly* fending off accusations of becoming cat bloggers? cruel stereotyping!

    anyway, he is so CUTE i cannot stand it!
