My mom is a chai aficionada and when she moved out, she left me (a non-chai aficionada) all her milk cans. I still haven't figured out what to do with them. Pumpkin pie is ABSOLUTELY not an option. :gonk:

My cat likes to play fetch, and I like to have The Cleveland Show on Netflix as background noise in my teeny tiny apartment.

That's adorable. My youngest cat does this with makeup sponges sometimes. Cats with stuff in their mouth is so :3:

I wish I knew why he occasionally just keeps stuff in his mouth and runs away, but whatever. I didn't actually TRAIN him to play fetch (I would throw pieces of paper at him, then he'd eventually bring them back after I was too lazy to retrieve them), so I figure this is the best he's ever going to do.

My cat jumped off my bed into the box that my portable AC came in and got himself stuck.

Before you ask, I don't remember why the box has no floor, and that black mass next to my cat is a sock.

Sully's only okay with belly rubs when she's lying on her side, which doesn't even count.

Also, sometimes my cat will sit on my lap, across one or both of my arms, and dig all of her claws into my flesh & kick her back claws as if she were trying to kill a raccoon if I try to move her off of me. I don't know what the deal is.

She's pretty though.

Even though it's lopsided, it's still pretty great. :3:

I didn't notice until about a week after I adopted her, when she finally calmed down enough for me to take a picture & put it on Facebook, at which point all my friends were like "omg look at that mustache!"

Yay for black cat adoptions! My first cat was in a litter of four, and all three of his non-black siblings got snatched right up. He was the only kitten I saw listed on Craigslist twice, so I was like, "hmm, let me check him out" and he was just rambunctious, adorable, and sweet. Black cats deserve more love.

Anyway, here's Sully the sentry.
