This Sunday Post features an extra special visiting cat. Say “hello” to Spike!
Spike is visiting here today because a couple of weeks ago we visited him and his human in Anchorage. Spike is very clearly Luna and Tuna’s brother from another mother, and we’re his extra people because we’re part of his herd. Literally. Whenever one of us went ANYWHERE in the house he stood around waiting until he could herd us back into a single location so he could watch over us. He was, as you can see, VERY determined about it!
We also attended Worldcon in LA. Well, technically in Anaheim next door to Disneyland. As always, the con was an absolute blast. So many things to see and do, so many people to talk with, so many books to talk about and download. T. Kingfisher emceed the Hugo Awards Ceremony and we ALL learned more weird facts about strange animals than any of us EVER wanted to know. But she was both hilarious and gracious throughout the whole thing – a difficult combination – and it’s always a treat to be in the room when something happens.
Next year’s Worldcon is in Montreal. It should be great. Also one hell of a lot cooler than it was in LA, which should feel amazing!

Good job Spike for keeping an eye on your people! Gosh, he’s so pretty.
