As mentioned hereabouts many months ago, Bruce was delivered to his new home. It’ll be sad to not have him around… but it’ll also be better for all involved. Five cats *is* a bit much, and now he’s in a good home with only one other cat. Longer-term blog readers may remember Tak… she now has a room mate, whether she likes it or not.

And, yes, Bruce did seem to recognize that I was leaving him. But he will be happy in his new place.

Oy.

Join 100 Women Posing Naked at the Republican National Convention

The photograph will involve 100 nude women holding large mirror discs, reflecting the knowledge and wisdom of progressive women and the concept of “Mother Nature” into and onto the convention center, cityscape and horizon of Cleveland. The philosophy of the artwork relates to the idea of the sacred feminine. By holding mirrors, we hope to suggest that women are a reflection and embodiment of nature, the sun, the sky and the land. We want to express the belief that we will rely upon the strength, intuition and wisdom of progressive and enlightened women to find our place in nature and to regain the balance within it. The mirrors communicate that we are a reflection of ourselves, each other, and of the world that surrounds us. The woman becomes the future and the future becomes the woman.

Blah, blah, blah. Basically, this goober is comparing women to mirrors: you know, flat, featureless objects that are incapable of creation, can only reflect what they happen to be facing, with neither intellect nor volition. Hmmm. You know, that might actually be an accurate metaphor for the sort of progressive who would sign up for this sort of gag, thinking she’s doing something “important.”

So Raedthinn and Fingers were sleeping together, minding their own business. When in comes Bruce… young, full of energy, and just really not that smart.

Fortunately for Bruce, he grew bored of the game before Raedthinn could whop him upside the head (Raedthinn can *punch*).

Buttons and Speedbump love to fight. I’m assuming it’s playful sibling-tussling, rather than actual beatdowns, but it’s certainly energetic. I’m always amused by the posturing that goes on just before the combat starts, such as Buttons here giving Speedbump the stink-eye.

And here’s how interested Raedthinn is in the younger cats’ shenanigans:
