downsizing

Having moved into a smaller apartment, we’re all making sacrifices. The bathroom is a little tight these days, but Otto is adjusting well to his new potty shelf.

Fat Happy Cat

Otto really seems to be having a hard time with me being out of town.

how to tell someone that they need to lose some weight

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is getting out of hand. Or maybe we just need to work on his posture.

rough life

Yes. This is exactly what this blog has gotten to – a place where I post pictures of my cat Otto. As you can see, he’s having a really rough time adjusting to the Southern California weather. In this picture you can observe him protecting himself from the sun while doing his afternoon, pre-nap, wash.

why won’t otto drink out of his water bowl

This is why.

This is what I walked into this morning after returning from brushing my teeth. Otto drinking my water out of my glass next to my bed.

otto meets gilbert

Today we introduced Jen’s dog Gilbert to Otto. The roles and hierarchy of these two fine pets seem to be somewhat turned around. Otto is one tough cat. And Gilbert…ahem…a little scared.

Otto’s way

Otto having it his way. Really, who needs friends when you got a sweater with strings?

not my cat

On my way to the bathroom this morning, with my eyes half closed, I was surprised by a cat sitting on my window ledge. For a second I thought that somehow Otto got out and was trying to get back in. That, however, wasn’t the case, as Otto was making love to his favorite carpet. Don’t ask.

Anyways, this is my neighbor’s cat. What she’s doing outside, I don’t know. If she’s still there when I go home at lunch, I will let Otto loose on her.

Turn off the light dude

I am not sure what happened at my loft while I was camping, but it tired out Mr.Otto von Bismarck. My apartment was a mess when I came back, the neighbor’s cat has been staring in my window all day long and Otto spent the better part of the day passed out on his blanket. It was a sunny in Portland today, which Otto obviously did not appreciate.
