Work conditions at DA headquarters

Hard at to work.

Sprawling across the entire mouse pad is merely disruptive -- using the enter key on the number pad for a pillow is causing some damage.

Aww, what a cool cat! Love his markings.

mr_blown_dry

@blown_dry gets all the credit, she picked them out at the shelter. His buddy Byron had a better spot (for me) out of the way in the corner behind the monitors. He's a little big for that spot now though.

MY cats are apparently bored because of the hot weather. They have bee n doing annoying things like chewing on the cord to the air purifier, or lying on their backs under the couch scratching the lining off it.I'll be so glad whe it cools enough they want to go out into their catio again. Right now the catio is in full 102 degrees of sun until it slips behind the hills to the west.

@mr_blown_dry @blown_dry Are they littermates? They’re both so handsome.
And they look to be fast friends!

blown_dry

AndreaB They are not litter mates, but they bonded at the shelter so I got them both. They really seem to keep one another entertained. They told me that the gray one arrived as a sick, starving stray and the siamese was the only survivor of his litter. I'm happy to be one of their fairy godmothers.

AndreaB

blown_dry oh, Jasper is Siamese? My Grama had one when I was a kid, but hers had the standard dark face and ears.

blown_dry

AndreaB I was just referring about his coat pattern. He must have some siamese in him, but the breed standard doesn't allow any tabby to show. I was looking up why the shelter described him as a "lynx point" and I googled it and he does look exactly like those cats, but I doubt he was intentionally bred. Fun fact: the siamese coat pattern is the result of a temperature sensitive enzyme that causes the coolest parts of their bodies to be a different color than the rest of them.

AndreaB

blown_dry well, you picked a couple of gorgeous kitties and they’re lucky to have you!

Multi-tasking = bath time + renaming files for me.

NCDahlia

That is awesome. Reminds me of my cat Pocus who used to always jump on the desk when I was trading 🤣 a few walks over the keyboard with hot keys and never again lol

blown_dry

NCDahlia Wow! 😂

mr_blown_dry

NCDahlia They seem to be kind of like little kids in that respect, they'll find all the hotkeys you never knew existed.

blown_dry

On-site massage, just like at Google. Now if we can just teach him to cook...

AndreaB

blown_dry I love the DA mascots!

blown_dry

I needed some paws on my function keys. ☺

AndreaB

@blown_dry Good thing you live far from me… cause I might cat-nab Jasper. 😁

blown_dry

Jasper is a pretty boy! Plus Byron has broken 4 6 dishes and two model train cars 🤠 and Jasper nada 😇.
