Here’s Riley shortly after he arrived. He’s busily exploring his new home—and behind the refrigerator seemed like a good place to know.
I received a complaint about the paucity of cat blogging, so today here’s this, and I have moved the camera to a more accessible position. Megs will be next up, I promise—unless I get the photo from The Wife of Sophie resting on a table with her head propped on a tripod next to the table, which she assumed was a headrest.

Cats just love having their very own piece of paper or very own cardboard box—little capitalists. Here’s Riley entertaining himself (and, inadvertently, his owner).

This is Riley, boy kitten and ambitious lad. (Has already figured out how to get into desk drawers from under the desk.) Riley lives in Victoria with The Niece. Very handsome kitten—what a terrific nose! the John Barrymore of kitties—but look at the size of his paws and ears. He’s going to be a big guy.

Here’s William Bendix, who died at age 58:
