I’m glad we finally got a good snow storm, because today the cats got to experience their first snow day! This was also the first time I used iMovie ‘09. It wasn’t able to reduce the wind noise like iMovie ‘06 can, but it integrates with my iPhone and Youtube effortlessly.  I had to manually add the South Pole’s lat/lon to a text file for that map animation, which is otherwise completely automated.   The precision editor is also helpful for lining up transitions:

What better song to play on Cat Piano than the Meow Mix theme song? You know, from those cat food commercials. Mitsy and Ajax heard the meowing and came to investigate and Mitsy adds some of her own meows.

I just got Rock Band 2 so we have been playing it a lot lately. The cats are jealous that we come home from work and rock instead of play with them. Ajax is really funny and tries to play the drums! He also tried to grab the guitar too.

Check out Mitsy’s halloween costume.

Ajax is the joker but his costume is too big.

Now all I need is some cat crime to fight and cat criminal underworld to dominate. You know what would be cool is if the cats actually liked to wear costumes, that way when they wrestled it would be classic Batman vs. Joker action.

Sometimes I eat grasshoppers too. They are tasty.

Ajax is a natural hunter because he was a stray.  My other cat, Mitsy sucks at killing and eating things however.  One time she saw a chipmunk and tried to be friends with it instead of biting it, I mean seriously what the hell.  I expected her natural hunting instincts to take over but I guess she is too domesticated.

Camping with cats is fun, almost as fun as catpacking.

My cats are so good at walking in the rain.

The cats were spooked by the approaching storm before we were able to detect it.  We ended up huddling under a tree with two pissed off cats while we waited out a downpour.  After that there were only a few sprinkles and we were able to continue our walk.

Ajax busted open eight different food pouches last night! EIGHT!!!1

Ajax is so good at biting chipmunks in the neck.  Did you know it’s really hard to pry a cat’s jaws open?
