It’s time for more gratuitous pictures of cats!

In the “About” section of my blog I all but promised/threatened a steady stream of cat pictures. (If you’ve been following, you also know that I severely underestimated the percentage plant life would occupy in my subjects — 70% ended up more like 170%.) Well, I’ve been remiss in my duty. Today I will make some small effort at correcting that by posting pictures of the lady of the house, our 19-year-old cat Rio.

The gaze of the wisest, most beautiful cat in the world.

Rio says, "Alright, I'm done with you getting all up in my face with the pictures..."

"...REALLY done."

In other news, a truly proud moment for me recently occurred: somebody found my blog by searching with the keywords “eyes of hatred.” I could almost retire the thing now, my mission completed. But I’ll keep going, and whoever you are, I can guess the picture that led you here. And while I’m sure you weren’t really looking for a picture of my cat’s baleful gaze, know that you are most welcome back here for all of your angry cat picture needs.
