She is trying to figure it out
Our Tortoise shell cat puzzles at the chicken wire frame described in the alt text of the photo in the earlier post that is now keeping her out of her favourite dark filthy cavern.

Cat won’t be using the crawlspace under our family room as a 200 square foot upgrade of her 2 square foot litter box anymore
Large rough opening in the 100 year old original foundation that was made to connect to the crawl space under an addition that was added 60 years later to the back of the house, with room for wires and ducts and a very stooped human—or any cat—to get through. It has now been framed in with random bits of wood and closed off with chicken wire.

The Lay’s Tikka Masala bag, it’s a lovely mix of golds and reds with images of peppers and spices. My peasant thumb and the sleeve of my red and blue plaid snapshirt are all-too-visible in the frame.

Barthes time!

Closeup B&W portrait of Roland Barthes, seemingly deep in thought, holding a lit cigarette. He’s a dapper gentleman in a houndstooth jacket and a full head of silver hair. Three women are out of focus in the background.

If anyone tries to tell you 1.25 kg of French Gruyère from Costco is too much Gruyère, tell em to take it up with me!
What was once 1.25 kilos of French Gruyère is now almost half gone. On a wood cutting board. A MAC paring knife and half a baguette are visible in the background.

😎The lad and I carve one together every year.

Bonus track: cat’o’lantern x cat
A tortoise shell cat on a red lead looks on at the cat pumpkin described in the previous post. Now we’re on a light blue porch. Umbrellas and hockey sticks lean against the red brick wall beside a dark blue door.

This year’s cat’o’lantern.
A smiling cat carved into an oval shaped pumpkin. Lit with a candle in a dark kitchen. The cat has round eyes, two big fangs and pointy ears.

Ned Flanders scowls as he’s pouring a mug of beer from a tap that is mostly head. The caption reads “I PRIDE MYSELF ON BEING A GOOD HOST, SO I'M OBLIGED TO OFFER YOU A BEER; BUT I'M SO DARNED MAD IT'S GOING TO BE MOSTLY HEAD.”
