Ahem! As your muse, I notice you may have forgotten someone in your story? Someone who was ever present as you burned the midnight oil, who swatted your keystrokes, who chewed your rough draft, who shredded your final manuscript? Who? No! Not your editor!
You’re the cutest spellchecker ever, Bridget. Photo sent in by Emily.
Awww, loves me some tabbies!
No important project is complete without a “cat mat.” Good work, Bridget, keep it up!
Meeeeeeeee-YOOOOOOWWWWW!!!11!!
aka: “Ooooh, baybee BAYbee!!!11!!!”
PS: Bridget is chewing the writer OUT!!!!
(Beat ya to that one, 2600…go fer tha next one !!!)
Kitty gives new meaning to the term “nom de plume”.
Right back at ya’!
ka-BLAMMO!!! Nice Volley!!
Is that, your way of “chat”izing me????
)
(giggle) ( “chat” no esta “chast-”
Also also:
Here Bridget demonstrates the activity which immediately precedes “hacking” in more-traditional, hand-written writing.
More-modern, computer-based “hacking” does not require the digestive system of a cat.
Here’s one kitty who knows the difference between dependent and independent claws.
“What font is that? Times Mew Roman?”
“Bridget.” What a sweet little name for a little meow-meow.
I totally agree with you, Tal
That is one kitty I would just love to give lots and lots of cuddling and snorgling 
Also also: “Yang yahng yang!!!!”
NYAHNG NYAHNG NYAHNG!
Izzit “JINX” if our phrasing varies by one alphabet letter, Th. ??
I think there’s a little more gun action in mine.
Oops, that was “gum” action!
I THOUGHT that mighta been “whutchewtalkin’ ’bout, Willis”
– such a difference, in one letter, huh???
If you’re not careful, she’ll demand co-author credit, like Midnight Louie did.
Even if you *ARE* careful, she may very well still do so
Hello, fellow Midnight Louie fan. I’ve already got my “Cat in an Ultramarine Scheme” on order.
PS: I always called my Stinky my “research assistant” when I was in grad school. He was a terrible research assistant, but the best cat.
Theresa, my kitty Witchy was my study buddy. She would lay all over my papers and books as I sat at the computer. She helped me get through a lot. She was also not much of a real help, but I wouldn’t have traded her for anything.
Truman Catpote composes another biting satire.
You would think that white paws would be so impractical
Dear Tabby and her pen pal work on this week’s column.
*CRONCH!*
“NO!!! It’s D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y, not D-E-F-I-N-A-T-E-L-Y!!!”
I always get that one wrong
I *LOVE* kittehs with dark nosicles!
It’s a Gelly Roll! Glad I’m not the only one that still uses them
Orange, yet!
I’m surprised that no one said anything about the litter-”airy” reference.
That’s probably because little isn’t usually all that airy.
I meant “litter” of course.
I was thinking the fella holding the pen there may not want, or may d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y want, to chew the end of that pen himself, as some folks do while pondering thoughts.
Mmmmmmmmm, a salmon-flavored pen. How thoughtful!
I had the same problem with Valium.
Except I’m a painter.
I’m now an expert in the “shove-a-paint-covered-cat-under-the-water-tap-before-it-dried-out-dammit-big-oaf-stop-struggling-it-s-for-your-own-damn-good”
Your cat’s name is Valium? That’s just awesome.
He was always asleep as a kitten and it was the V year for naming pet. I wanted to name the little one Prozac, but she was so tiny, I kept the name she was given at the refugie.
Crevette.
Means Shrimp.
She’s about half the size and weight of Valium.
Well, it’s better than getting out the shears and razor. I’m guessing though that ‘valium’ ain’t the most active of cats judging by that name.
Yeah he is… Hu… Mostly unactive. And still manage to be a tall and muscular cat. 7,5 kg of love that I have to wrestle every time he tried to sample the paint.
Votre blog, c’est en Francais !!!
En effet très cher!
French fan of cuteoverload, cause the cute is international!
Three-N-one post *Oakley* You have outdone even yourself this time! Way to go! Oh, and BTW gorgeous kitteh!
Aww what a sweet playful kitty, love the socks and the splayed legs. Agreed, Bridget is an awesome name for a cat.
Such a feminine name for a sweet kitty, and a hairy arm for a sweet orange pen.
Guy does not take an obviouis hint. Lying on the page that you are highlighting is a clear signal that “I need snorgling and petting!”
OMG OMG OMG it’s our picture! I sent this in, like, YEARS ago. Five years ago I think. So cool!
To all her admirers — Bridget accepts your tribute, which is her natural due, but not your snorgles or petting, which she does not care for. At our house, if you want to cuddle a kitty, you have to aim for Bridget’s brother Oliver, because Bridget is Not That Kind of Cat.
Sounds like the sort of monarch who insists on using the royal “we” and bows/curtsies from her adoring subjects when she comes in the room.
We must maintain our standards!
I love Bridget’s heart-shaped nose!
