I just thought that I would raise anticipation by letting you all in on a little secret in the hippoverse: I have my halloween costume all picked out!!!
Katie and I tried it on last night, and I must say that I look abs-fur-lutely purr-tastic in it, and for awhile thought about wearing it straight through from now until my first Halloween in our household, but decided against it, mostly because I knew that the sheer cuteness of me in my halloween costume would be too much for Baxter to handle and he might implode.
So it was out of the goodness of my kitty heart, I meow you, that I decided not to wear my pretty kitty costume until my photo session. But then, it's never coming off!!!!
Here is a hint about what I might be (though MUCH MUCH cuter and more purr-cious): A DRAGON!!!

Hippo Venturing out onto the internet!!!
I have joined Catster!!! You should all come visit and give me treats. I will see if I can do something to make my page less lime-green, since it is not pleasing to these persian kitty eyes. Something in a light teal or pink would be purr-fect, I think.
One picture of my loveliness, and then I must be off. Katie and Baxter have gone to Rochester to coach debate, and I'm going to watch Animal Planet and drink cream all night!

Bookshelves are the new windowsill
Though I have ringworm and am not the most beautiful ever in my purr-cious life, life is still excellent in the hippo-verse. I am sleepy because it is late, but I thought I would let my purr-tastic fans see my latest adventure. Look where I have learned to lay!
I like how cute I look, though I was not really in the mood to have my purr-tograph taken. And if you wanta close up of my beautiful fur, here it is:
Aren't I adorable?!? I do so love the Zizek.

Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens . . . These are a few of my Favorite Purrs!
Meow Meow!
Well, now that the Katie Birthday Extravaganza is over, things are settling down at the Hippo pad. I am pleased that almost all of the wrapping paper and boxes have been picked up; I love the wrapping paper and batting it about is a pasttime of mine, but I am always a meow-ier kitten when my apartment is clean. I am something of a neat cat like that.
On a sadder note, I have been rapt with attention at the hurricane. I am not normally drawn to cat-astrophe television, but I am an animal lover, and I am worried about those hidden by the disaster - the pets. I read a story on the internet about people being evacuated and not being allowed to take their pets, which makes this pretty kitty sad and bereft. I absolutely hate the bathtub, and I know that it is not even near the same scale, so I cannot imagine how awful it must be for those animals. If anyone is looking for more information on this subject or ways to help, I would suggest this site.
As a way to give everyone a little brightening on this sad day, I thought I would give a list of my favorite purrs:
1. I looooooove clean sheets. I would like to give them many purrs and smooches. Katie and I change the sheets together, and it is always a cat-tastic time.
2. Many purrs and kisses also go out to the dresser in my bedroom. I am not much of a jumper, but I do love to climb up through Baxter's sweaters and lay out on the dresser. It is always very cool, and I can stretch all the way out and survey my holdings. If I am a very nice kitty, sometimes Baxter and Katie will stop by and pet me on the head and scratch my chin.
3. I am doing a purr-tastic job helping Baxter write his dissertation! I have decided that although I am still more interested in representational practices and their effects of socioeconomic status and oppressed populations, I am taking more of an interest in both continental philosophy and pyschoanalysis, hoping to broaden my horizons and make a little bit more of an effort to be an educated kitten. So far, I believe I have been indispensable to the process, although my suggestion that Baxter use kitten themed titles for all of his chapters was not accepted.
4. I am going to be a supermodel! Katie insists that I must see the movie Zoolander, which I do not understand, but I have a distinctly favorite pose in photographs. I believe I have perfected my look, and love to emphasize my curvy shape and luscious fur.
5. Finally, my new favorite hobby is web design. I love visiting various cat-themed pursuits, be it cats in costumes, sinks, or just playing about. I continue to vociferously protest the blatant discrimination that faces Persian kitties in such endeavors, but as I believe that the most structural change occurs through working with the system, I visit them all the same. Besides, I need to start getting ideas for my Halloween Costume.
Thank you all for visiting!
