Today's picture is life imitating art.  Or is it art imitating life?  Hard to say.  Is Windows wallpaper art?  Is Inkblot life as we know it?  Questions, questions, questions.

(Note: I'm talking about the picture below, not the one on the left.)

And here's another question: who's the cutest cat of them all?  Inkblot knows the answer, but as an employee-by-concatenation of the Foundation for National Progress, aka the publisher of Mother Jones magazine, he's ineligible for our upcoming cat contest.  But your cat isn't!  Go here and register a first-round vote in our contest to find the cutest cat made into a Mother Jones cover.  If you think you can do better, make a cover out of your cat and submit it for the cat-off to be held in two weeks.  May the best cat win.

As for Inkblot, the powers-that-be tell me that he'll be appearing in costume on our home page over the weekend.  An e-costume, of course.  Check it out tomorrow.

UPDATE: No, it turns out that it's Domino who gets the e-costume.  Which is appropriate since she's the black cat in the house.  So everyone gets a picture this week!

We can't vote for Inkblot? Seems to me like the contest is rigged.

After the election

I suppose Inkblot will be holding negotiations with the winner on some sort of food sharing arrangement that is favorable to him.

Do not tell your cat I said this (I never tell mine), but according to the Tenets of Ecocosmology they could be a key to the survival of the human species.

This is the cover photo for

This is the cover photo for Inkblot's new album, "In a Soulful Mood."
With a subtle reminder in the background of how he can play a tough cat, as well.

What A Clutter!

You know what they say about cluttered desktops? Cluttered mind!

No, you don't get to see my desktop.

If I had wanted cream and sugar, why order the damn coffee?

Inkblot and Domino want to

Inkblot and Domino want to know where the monthly statements regarding the escrow accounts you're holding their wages in are going to. It is their understanding it their appeal to the MoJo reader that is responsible for your $150,000 salary, not your shameless blowjobs.

My sister was the same way. She claims it was because she was allergic to cats, but she never bothered to learn to tell the difference between Gizzy and Jasmine. Gizzy, full white face, long sleek, mellow, curious about everything. Jasmine, black covering her eyes, shorter, plumper, longer fur, shy, not interested in anybody. I'd had them at least five years before my nephew was born. He was about five when he was visiting one day. My sister said she couldn't tell the difference between the two cats.

"Well your son can, and he's five."

She learned after that.

This, by the way, from the person who had two fawn pugs. Harder to tall apart than my two cats.

I mean like, Duh!
