During my morning writing session, Mali, our fearless little Burmese, figured out that books on shelves make great forts. She also realized that when the big boy cats come (one of whom is twice her size), she can hide behind the books and push them out onto them, rapid fire, until she creates an avalanche of books.The kicker: This is the shelf where I have my BoxOcto books and books by other writers I admire. Note Colleen's Touch of Evil on the floor there next to that giant picture of Amy Tan, and if you squint, you can see the corner of Joni's Crazy for Trying peeking out two books back from Kathryn Stockett's The Help. A friend of mine on facebook pointed out how clearly she could see the word "help" in this picture.
Even better? That book that's precariously positioned between standing and falling?

Oh, and busted:

Ah, pets. Gotta love 'em, even though they're very distracting. Mark's man cave/office in the garage is designated as a no-cat zone for that reason. I'd close off this room, but I can't take the scratching and the whining, so I just live with it. :)
