First things first – as you can see from the sidebar, I’m not just participating, I’m hosting one of the challenges for this year’s Ho-Ho-Ho Readation (#2024HOHOHORAT), hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. This will be my first time at both, and I’m collecting Holiday/Winter reads to review for the two weeks of the Readathon. There will be prizes available to participants from all of the challenge hosts, so sign up if you love holiday reads.
Today’s picture is of a self-boxing Tuna – although it’s been a day where I feel like I’m the one in the box. Not in a bad way at all, just that my keyboard drawer has been kitty central for most of the day, which is lovely. But it’s difficult to type on the keyboard when I have it shoved out of the cats’ way, which I have to do because they ALL type. Hecate is particularly adept at reducing the screen dimensions to something so tiny it’s invisible to the naked eye. Most of the others merely park their butts on the space bar, but she has a ‘special’ knack.
Which generally causes her humans to say to each other, “We love them. Why was that again?” Sometimes Tuna’s wide-eyed, slightly blank-faced cuteness pays the rent for everyone!
