Even though I worked on Super Bowl Sunday, I had a great day. With a potluck planned for the newsroom gang, I had a busy morning preparing my vegetarian chili … and got a kick out of watching Katy and the cat, Noir, get to know each other.
Rather than wax on about it, I figured it was a story best told in photos.
- Cooking in the morning: All the chili fixins, ready to go in the pot.
- Good kitty: she gobbles up pancake atop a can o’ beans. Love her!
- Noir actually licked the bowl where the roasted tomatoes once were.
- The cans undone and soon to be washed out and recycled.
- Chili’s almost ready. I made two pots, mostly so I would have leftovers.
- Noir settles in next to Katy after exploring the cabinet (see open door).
- Katy came to work on Super Bowl Sunday. (and I need to tidy up my desk!)
- Rather than sleep on her favorite quilt, Katy opts to sleep under my desk.
- Noir’s half asleep and fails to realize she’s snuggled up to her nemisis, Mayo.
- This photo really shows me how much the kitten (left) has grown.
- Mayo realizes he has company and it ain’t his favorite (human).
- Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
- Smile for the camera, Noir!
- She’s so close I can’t see straight!
- Geez, no flash, mom!

















They are so cute!
