…bring your pet to blog #2…

So those amazing girls over at port2port are taking a vacation this week (but a work vacation not a fun vacation, not like the lucky Johanna!). But they started the ‘bring your pet to blog’ and I am getting sucked in. I am turning into one of those ladies that take millions of photos of their cat. Which is even more distressing because I would not call myself a cat person. I always wanted to get a dog (but the apartments in New York are way too small). The Boy on the other hand has a soft spot for cats. And now I love her, she is the sweetest thing in the world, plus she is beautiful.

Recently she has taken to chilling in the bathroom sink. I guess it is cool, and she can just curl up in the bowl, but I yesterday morning she was just laying in the sink and I had the work camera so I took some photos. She is a little photo whore. I think she understood what I was doing so she posed for me! No really she kept on tilting her head giving me coy eyes. She knows what the camera is and she works it!

Our building is pre-war so that means a funky bathroom. Over the years, the super has fixed things in the bathroom and replaced the original tiles with white ones. The originals are these swirly green tiles. Now I love green (hello green girl) but my problem is that the replacements are so haphazard. So the bathroom is half green swirl and half white, but with no rhyme or reason. Not until I took a look at this photo did I begin to soften to the old tiles. They match Trixie’s eye perfectly. Take a look:

Also does anyone have any tricks for getting warm water, when you have a separate hot and cold facets?

    this photo is BEAUTIFUL….!!!!!!!!!!!!! it makes me miss my cats so much. i love the tile and your girl looks so happy there.

    now, i feel i must also tell you that i’m SO not a cat person. in fact i disliked cats my entire life … i kind of fell into getting Charlie and now i have Raven too. wow. wild. and i still consider myself more of a dog person.

    anyway, your cat is very lucky to have such a great bathroom to lounge in. thanks for posting and keeping up “pet to blog”…. can’t wait to get back into p2p next week.

    take care!

    Easy…just put a plug in the sink drain, run both the hot and cold water…and based on simple physics you will end up with warm water in the basin.
