Cats, carousels, and whiny NOs

We are officially a one cat household. Murray lives here now. It's not ideal, but it's the best we could do after more than a year of trying to deal with his issues. I hope he likes it. I know Mona enjoys having access to the whole house again.

For those of you who wondered what Finn's whiny little "noooo" sounds like, we now have video, although I'll warn you that it's usually a longer and whinier syllable. It may be hard to tell here, but he also tends to squeeze his head over onto his left shoulder when he says it - nobody knows why. Lately we ask him questions we know he'll answer no to just to get him to say it so we can laugh it him. Yes, I realize we will pay for this later.

Last Sunday we went to Vasona/Oak Meadow Park here in Los Gatos, and Finn rode the carousel (built for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exhibition!). Three times in a row. We put him on the outermost ring, since that's the fastest. He likes to pat the horse.

And here he is marching over the hill afterwards. This is my new desktop photo.Bonus video! Going down the slide, without help.

I have an internship interview today - wish me luck!
