WCB 113: Clever Pet Tricks
It’s one of those days.
I’m in the middle of transferring a large number of websites, databases, lists, galleries, and so on to a new hosting service and it is tedious work. For those who don’t know, one area in which I freelance is web design and I host sites for my design clients. My current host has been frustrating of late — frustrating enough that I’ve decided it’s time for a change.
This means Belly Timber will be moving hosts as well so there’s a chance we’ll be down for a bit later this week. I’m hoping to make the transition as quick and painless as possible, but I can’t guarantee that a certain persistent orange lummox won’t step on the keyboard at exactly the wrong time and delete my database backup. He has a rather uncanny knack for getting his paws into my work at inappropriate moments, just as Angry Cat used to shed on the articles of clothing that most needed to be clean.
Yes, that’s Angry Cat from the photo archives, above. The Belly Timber Home Photo Uploading Service is on the fritz yet again. I have half a month’s worth of photos stuck on my flash card and no way to show them to you.
On the bright side, with no way to take pictures, we now have a great excuse for lazy, ugly meals.
Another (temporary) bright side: Port and Ahriman have not yet discovered the sleep-on-warm-clothes-in-the-dryer trick. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time…

A cute picture! Cat always love to sleep in strange places…

I dunno. Is that symbol in the back of the dryer and arrow pointing down? As in, ’sleep here’.

Thanks, Boo. Camera has a new uploader now, so I can do pix again. Phew.
Rosa, indeed. At least we’ve managed to keep Arhi from sleeping in the ramen box again.
Kitchenmage: Holy crap, you’re right!

The angry cat seems to way “so, what are you going to do about this?” Very cute. -Jill-

Well, a typo… I meant “say” not “way.” Gee, I can’t type.

Jill, I think Angry Cat always had that look!
I haven’t uploaded the evidence yet, but um… you know what I said about it only being a matter of time before the new cats figure out this trick?
