The Valentine's Day Card that Started it All
The first of the Photoshopped spectaculars, created for my husband in homage of a poster he found in Cairo with a similar disregard for proportion or scale. That's us on the roof. But that's not our real house.

Wrap a Cat
So there's this crazy cat video going around (there are actually a few) about how to wrap a cat for Christmas.
Maybe you've seen one.
I thought I could do something even better with Strombeek...

Who's Naughty and Nice
Today, Strombeek and Louie go to see the Santa ape and his llamas. Strombeek says it's a good idea to get word of their Christmas wishes to him early.

Leftovers
There were a number of great Strombeek Chicken shots that didn't make it into the Thanksgiving photo. "The Sneeze" is one of them.

Where's Louie?
We took the cats down to the rally to keep fear alive on the national mall last weekend. Unfortunately, there were so many people down there that we lost track of them.

The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is on Fire
Strombeek was just kicking it out in front of the cat castle one evening, when the next thing she knew...

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from Strombeek and Louie!
(And their winged minions!) They can't wait for the trick-or-treaters to arrive.

Whole Fried Fish
Chinese food delivery with a whole fried fish. Strombeek licks her chops (since she doesn't have lips).

Electronic Mouse Patrol
Enough is enough, Strombeek thinks to herself. There's no reason to live in fear any longer! She's not going to let a silly electronic mouse control her life.

Eek! A Mouse!
The cats got some new things this weekend. A new round insert for their scratching platform (left), some fresh cat grass, and an electronic mouse.

The Cats that I Meet When I'm Walking down the Street
We have a lot of cats in our neighborhood. This is Shrunken Ear Cat. His left ear is half the size of his right. He's pretty tuff.

Hungry Hungry Strombeek
Strombeek's hunger is this big. She's sure all six cans will fit in her belly. See? They only go up to her neck.

Cat Calendar - August 2010
The original photo shoot (shown below) involved a set consisting of lots of crepe paper around a white box and all these ribbons.

Cat Calendar Update
It was brought to my attention that some of the cat calendar pages for this year were a little unclear. For instance, the month of July, shown below was supposed to be in honor of Bastille day, while some people interpreted it as being an homage to the role the French played in our independence.
Perhaps if I had portrayed Strombeek as a wee bit more Marie Antoinette-ish it would have been clear. Like so. . .

Packing Paper Canoes
If the Photoshopped extravaganza in the last entry didn't make total sense, the packing paper is like a canoe on the hardwood floor. Usually the cats each hang out on their own raft, but Louie has hitched a ride on the back of Strombeek's.

Cat Tent Adventures
So not only does the cat tent function as a great toy repository, but its light weight makes it great to push around in cat games.
Oh, and it matches Strombeek's headdress.
It may have some mystical or magical qualities as well. . .

The Cat Tent
Before the cat castle, there was the cat tent. There still is the cat tent, we just forgot about it for a while.
The cat tent cost just over $5 at Ikea, but now you can only find it on ebay or Amazon for an inflated price.
Does that make it a collector's item?
So, we pulled out the tent because it matched the pharaonic headdress I planned to photograph Strombeek wearing.

March of the Strombeek
Sometimes when people are visiting and things get slow, Strombeek is called upon to entertain.
She is not so excited about the cat pendant.
Nor does she appreciate the bunch of bananas competing for space on her chair while people dance around her and sing about how there aren't any bananas. Of course there are bananas. They're right there.
But worse than any of that is when she is conscripted to perform The Penguin Dance.
