St Andrews is a cat town



St. Andrews is entirely a cat town. Different cats, I believe all with loving homes, seem to have territories in different parts of town. I particularly enjoy a fuzzy black kitty who lives in the courtyard by the psychology and religion buildings. He is very friendly, and joins me for lunch (though does not seem to approve of my veggie fare). Unfortunately, don't have a great picture of my buddy, my phone camera did not do him justice! And of course the most famous St. Andrews cat was Hamish McHamish, who roamed the centre of town. He passed away, and St. Andrews has put up a memorial statue for him in town. Definitely cat people.

On that note, while back home I hear of snow storms, we have had Scottish summer over here. Blue skies, I spent the day sitting in the sun and re-reading papers in preparation for the looming Viva. The cats are loving the sun as well; hemmingway liked curling up in the sun; however with the appearance of the camera he did cover up, trying to bat the camera away. No paparazzi please!

Relaxin' and watch some tv

After turning in my thesis, it has been nice to relax a bit. Still have plenty to do, but have been taking some time for fun. I was curled up with comet last night watching tv, and she really seemed to be watching with me. So I decided to try out some of the Cat TV videos they have on youtube. Comet loved it! Needless to say, this is how we spent the next hour :) She started curled up in my arms, but as time went by she crawled closer and closer to the screen until she was ontop of the laptop.
