Popcorn supports this post and Pudge.

Pudge is the same breed as Popcorn but apparently weighs the same as 3 Popcorns. Dang.

Also, Pudge is much more tolerant of being held like that than Popcorn would be.

Also reminds me of the American Political Science Association that paid millions of dollars to change their logo from an admittedly boring star to whatever this is supposed to be:

I can go even smaller.

Popcorn as a tiny kitten.

We have found the Drax of the political world and she is just as amazing as you might think.

Popcorn would tell you that she’s orange because she chooses to be but she’s not a scientist and doesn’t understand DNA.

This is a photo my great grandfather carried around with him of him wearing a U.S. army uniform taken while he was in France in 1918.

He was an immigrant from E. Europe and spoke with a fairly thick accent to the day he died. He carried this photo as proof he was a real American despite that accent

Popcorn and I just chilling on the couch finishing up grading for the semester. (The grading, and not Popcorn, explains the unhappy expression on my face.)

I think if promised an appearance by Popcorn, I could get 200 people to Ehrlichcon. Who wouldn’t want to hang out with this face?

Neither Popcorn the Cat nor I as a non-related fellow Ehrlich endorse this clown. Popcorn, in fact, hates her teeth and sticks her tongue out at this fool.

While searching for these Popcorn kitten photos, I came across some photos of a younger me. The one on the left is my student ID photo from Sophomore year and the one on the right is from when I was 23.

It’s been a tough month so you all deserve something adorable. I present to you Popcorn as a kitten.

For those seeing this post that might want a better picture of Popcorn rather than just one of what she’s doing right now, here you go:

For the record, Popcorn is not named that because she’s coated in cheddar cheese but if I were to so coat her, no one but she and I would know the difference.

The scene outside my house as the day begins. This is a crunchy icy snow rather than a fluffy snow but I do hear some neighborhood kids down the street playing in it.

Well, here’s another photo with no caption to distract you.

I have an Orient Bambino and a titanium Citizen Eco Drive but my pride and joy is this:

Go for it! My Popcorn presented a similar trap and I walked into it with no regrets and only minor scratches.

Is there any food that you loved as a child but the thought of eating it now makes you feel sick?

For me, it’s this:

Popcorn has had a busy day: She moved to the pillow on the other side of the couch.
December 26, 2024 at 8:34 PM
Humanity took the world’s most perfect predator and turned it into a silly fluff ball that sits next to you and purrs. Is this a sign of our power or stupidity?

Popcorn is currently asleep with her back legs on the couch cushion behind me and her front legs on my shoulder and her face up against my ear.
