baby face

koobs is like an identical twin to her kitten self. left: koobs, 1999. right: koobs 2008. the photo on the left was taken before there was a clear isis/koobi fora distinction. but it is so clearly koobs.

isis, is that you?

lately, koobs has been doing things that only isis did - like nesting in the closet. i also think she is starting to look like isis. some people say they looked a lot alike but they never did to me. except when they were babies.

they tried to make me go to maine and i said "no, no, no."

on satruday morning i was packing for maine. i had packed koobi fora's things and got her box out. she must have figured it out cause she decided to hide under the bed. and she did not want to come out. i tried treats. i tried tuna. or i tried fake tuna. i got the can and the opener and she came to the door. but when i tried to catch her she ran back under. then we tried the vacuum trick. torie turns the vacuum on at one side of the bed in hopes she will come out the other. but it didn't work. i tried poking her out and she didn't budge. eventually i moved the bed and grabbed her. she was SO scared and upset and emitting that scent cats do when they're in danger.

when we were in the car i said, "koobi fora, let this be a lesson to you. i always win."

then i felt bad about the trauma getting her into the box and i let her out so she could sit on the seat. after a few minutes koobs came out of her box and peed all over my jacket.

she totally won.

invisible kitty

maybe no one can see me.

the marmie patient

koobs is such a little angel about taking her medicine. here she is curled up in my lap with a giant needle in her back.
