The two cats at Ophelia’s Books in Fremont (3504 Fremont Ave. North): In the bottom photo, I love how the cat’s posture reflects the swirls in the rug and the shape of the spiral staircase.

Yes, The Boyfriend’s kitties have their own blog now, Alpha and Beta’s Stinky CatBox. I contribute occasionally — I wrote the CSI post and the fiber post (so far).

This morning while The Boyfriend (TB) and I surfed the Internet at different PCs in his computer room, Beta strolled in, made himself comfortable in a box full of castoff stuff (power cords, paperwork, computer disks, etc.) and started purring.
