So the subject of who is a big dog in theHouston blogsphere came up the other day over on BlogHouston. We touched on a few things in passing, like PajamasMedia, political blogging, group blogging, etc. but it seemed that the leading candidate for “local, but well-known blogger” was Laurence of TBIFOC. I was left wondering… what has he got that I don’t? Aside from fame and fortune, multiple blogs, and a wife?

Duuuuuhhhh! He’s got cats! And having cats means catblogging! How could I have been so dense?

So here we go: the first-ever (probably also last-ever) Houblog catblog.

This is Lulu:

“Human, stop playing with that electronic device and bring my food!”

She’s a half-wild cat whose original owner (about two neighbors back) moved, but she chose not to. Since then, she’s lived off the generosity of our next-door neighbors. But then they moved also, and the new neighbor was more interested in trying to piggyback on my wireless network than in adopting a cat. (Shortly after I locked him out, I noticed a new network broadcast showing up on my wireless cards. I ought to return the favor.)

So anyway, now it looks like our turn to play “adopt-a-stray,” and we’ve been feeding her for a couple of weeks now. It’s the only way she’d let me get close enough to snap this picture; Lulu is normally very skittish.

So, now that I’ve catblogged, my fame and fortune are assured. I’ll just be waiting here for all the links, advertisers, endorsement offers, and singing gigs to come through. Well, ok, I’ll turn the singing contracts down, unless it’s to do the national anthem at the All-Star game. You may thank me later. Or thank me now by hitting the tip jar, that always works!

So. . . . here I am. Yep, just waiting here for the money to start rolling in. . .

Still waiting . . .
