December 1999. I had just finished cleaning my apartment in Columbus before heading home for winter break. Basil’s emerging from his hidey hole behind the dish rack to see if it’s safe to come out yet. “Ebil” vacuum cleaners may be lurking, you know!
Angelo says: More pet pics are available for your viewing pleasure at this week’s Friday Ark. If you post your own pets’ photos, leave them a trackback or comment and you’ll be listed there, too. And remember — they don’t limit pictures just to cats! 
I know that expression on a cat’s face.
Behind the dish rack? If my mother saw that, she’d freak. She’s got a bad case of OCD and she’s in denial about it.
Those eyes look possessed… watch yourself. I love the New York City-style oven. I think the microwave is bigger
Barb! I loove your site! Especially love the cat blogging because I too am an animal lover. So cute!
Lol, Basil looks so funny like that . . . smart little kitty cat.
Of course my cat is scared of the vacuum too! She hisses at it every time I drag it out then runs and hides.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to you and your readers. During my rental here, I have received many visitors and I am appreciative of them all. Have a great weekend Barb!
Joel, i think your mom would totally freak. while the vacuum was still going, Basil would lie down so he looked like a loaf of bread hidden in that way back corner underneath the dish rack!
Frodo, New York City has their own size of ovens? who knew?
Deb, welcome!
April, i wouldn’t exactly call him smart.
Dari, you’re welcome.
Aw, that’s so cute I could just scream! I love the look on his face. hehe
Barb: I’d almost pay to see that.
What a face! He looks like a cartoon fraidy-cat.
you have a rice cooker, those are great.
