George has not yet even begun to calm down after his snip and chip. If anything, he's even more revved up. It's a good thing that toilet paper is back in stock, because he seems to be taking extra delight in destroying as many rolls as possible! I wish I could catch him in the act because it would make a great picture.

This week's stack over at Reading Reality seems to have embiggened again. And so has George, who came back from his "snip and chip" yesterday with a HUGE case of the zoomies. Then he collapsed next to me from a nap attack and conked out.

The picture on today's STS over at Reading Reality shows a very sleepy George. So here we have a very awake George! There's something about either the chair or the pillow on the chair that seems to pull at the little guy like a magnet. So far, he hasn't started pulling at the bits of cloth dangling from the pillow, but I kind of expect him to start any day now.

My full Stacking the Shelves post over at Reading Reality may have shrunk a bit from the last few weeks, but it's the 400th STS over there and contains a terrific picture of 3 of the 4 cats in this household, all gathered together to see what's what outside the kitchen window.



And here I have a picture of George, very much on his kitty dignity, and looking more like an adult cat every single day!

Of course, I also have books. Maybe not so many oodles as last week, but definitely some choice ones. Check it out!

Today is Independence Day in the U.S. and Wednesday was Canada Day in Canada, so happy whichever applies to wherever you are!

Today's picture of George of is of him playing with Hecate's tail. I'm pretty sure that it is taking all 3 grown-up cats to even make a dent in his energy. Galen says he's "full of beans" and I'm pretty sure they're coffee beans!


And of course there are books. Today's STS post over at Reading Reality contains a surprising number of Christmas books. Which just seems wrong. Or too early. Or both. But it does mean there are cooler days ahead, because it certainly is beastly hot around here right now!

The picture 《荣誉老王[快穿]》天淡_【原创小说|言情小说】_晋江文学城:2021-3-27 · 天淡《荣誉老王[快穿]》,主角：王一诺 ┃ 配角：隔壁一个加强排的邻居 ┃ 其它：哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈,励志人生 快穿 女强 时伕奇缘 最新更新:2021-02-07 03:26:37 作品积分：319449792 is of a rather disgruntled Lucifer who is somewhat patiently allowing George to bat at his tail. It seemed only right and proper that today's picture here should be of another of George's big buddies. So here's Freddie, sound asleep right in front of me. He doesn't like having his picture taken, so sleeping is definitely the best way to get a good shot of the very big baby.


And I also have a few books, including some that I've been waiting for!

This week's George picture is a bit of a teaching moment. Well, Hecate is teaching George something we'd rather she didn't, as should be obvious from the picture!


What's funny about this picture is that she isn't really interested in our food, although George seems to be. Which is not good for him and is something we're going to try to keep from becoming a habit. It's been a while since we've had a cat who was interested in "people food" so we're out of the habit of worrying about it. Clearly we're going to have to get back INTO that habit.

There's an entirely different - but utterly adorable - picture of George in today's post over at Reading Reality.

And there are LOTS of books. My full stack got embiggened again. And now for our regularly scheduled teasers!

Let's get the most important thing out of the way first. Here's today's George picture.

There's a different picture over on 老王（杨绛创作的散文）_百度百科:《老王》是当伕文学家杨绛于1984年创作的一篇回忆性散文。文章众“我”与老王的交往为线索，回忆了老王的几个生活片段，刻画了一个穷苦卑微但心地善良、老实厚道的“老王”形象，表达了作者一家对老王那样不幸者的关心、同情和尊重。作者也提出了一个引人深思的问题：社会应不应该众 .... Just to encourage you to take a look.



There aren't a lot of new books this week, but a few of the ones I picked up are definitely choice!
