Karl Under Attack
Playing with Hex this evening, I managed to take this shot: That’s some teeth he’s got there! And people wonder why Karl wears the glove for protection…
Pets archive
The jemjabella household is a bit of a zoo, covering several different species: from pedigree cats to exotic spiders. While a hundred (exaggeration) pets might not be everyone's idea of fun, and there's no shortage of cleaning duties to be had, there's always something furry looking for a cuddle and a fuss.
Hex Loses First Teeth
Hex lost his first two baby teeth today. This is actually quite a weird occasion for me, because despite having had tons of cats over the years I’ve never once seen one lose their teeth. I didn’t even realise it happened until Karl mentioned that someone he worked with had asked about it. Turns out… read full entry »
De-Noodling Turns Hex Into Monster
Apart from being incredibly relieved because I now have a week off work to chill out and forget about e-mail problems, deadlines etc, I have also been quite anxious because today Hex was booked in for de-noodling. For those that don’t live in the world of Jem, it’s otherwise known as neutering or castration. ;)… read full entry »
Five Things I Had Forgotten..
..about owning a cat: Anything and everything relating to cats becomes cute or funny.

What’s more,… read full entry »

Not really, but I couldn’t think of a creative title for the random/mixed load of waffle that this entry is going to be. Firstly, I present you with Hex dressing up/playing LOLCAT: Created for your viewing pleasure by Aisling (x3) and Hanna (x1) Next, I can confirm that my course materials have arrived complete with… read full entry »
Hex: One Week On
Yes, I have nothing of any interest to blog about so I’m filling the gap with some random kitty pictures. (Hands up if you predicted this’d happen!) If you saw my “Named the Kitty” side-post, you’ll know we named him Hex. For those that didn’t get it: it’s a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel reference, a… read full entry »
Named the Kitty
We decided to name the kitty “Hex”, for various reasons…
My New Kitty
There’s a new addition to our little family… meet the as-of-yet unnamed (unless you count Karl calling him “Mofo”) sleeping ball of fur (AKA my new kitten): He’s noisy, and has a habit of licking everything, but is the cutest kitten in the whole damned world. Says me, right.
