Hodge

2001 – 2013

Hodge was a character who thought he was a lion to my antelope. I have the scars to prove it.

Don't make me get up
You smell funny
Good morning, Sunshine
Passed out
You weren't thinking of lying here, were you?
Caterpillar friend
Toe beans
Cat and caterpillar
Was it necessary to rouse me?
Every home has a remote hog
I am working; I am keeping the pillows warm
Closeup
I'm looking for the Tahitian women
If looks could kill — ZAP!
Thoughtful nap
Nap
Morning nap
I'm not ashamed
Napping position 647
You didn't want to get into the kitchen, did you?
Hodge has a head cold and found a cozy spot
The last thing Diane saw before the end
What aspect of MY BED don’t you get?
Contemplative Hodge
Eyes wide shut
P1270255
Evil is hard work
Sharpening his claws with his teeth
In bed
Window guard
What a dream
Taking a rest from peeing on the carpet
One-eyed Hodge
What's going on in the world above?

My head . . .
Family portrait
Are you disturbing me?
Peekaboo
My blankie
Three minutes in the life of Hodge, minute 1
Meaty thigh
Better the caterpillar than me
Three minutes in the life of Hodge, minute 2
Three minutes in the life of Hodge, minute 3
Another long, hard day on the job
The afternoon nap
Foot warmer; he has my foot pinned down for the count
Peaceful coexistence is possible at naptime
Peek-a-boo
My job is to hold down the floor, which I do well
Roused
Notice my nose and pads color coordinate
With me and my bad shoulder as backstop
Stretch
Just Photoshop X where the eyes would be
Like my monkey face?
Little do I know I'm about to be boarded
I've found my purpose in life
Closeup
I don't care about your torn meniscus
The Amazing Feline Pretzel
Enough with the photos
Loafing
The devil assumes a fetal position
Comfy
Break out the insulin
Relax
Not as sweet as he looks
The paparazzi
The better to bite you with
Family portrait
Back from a week at the animal clinic, er, spa
Foot warmer 2
Lord of all 700 square feet he surveys
Don't disturb me; I'm channeling Blofeld
Don't just stand there; get me a bigger bed
Cat yoga
Yawn
Keeping at arm's length
Hodge succumbs to gravity
Woe is me
Vigilantly guarding the hind legs
Himself
Relaxed
Pose
You can’t seriously think I’m going to move
Look, ma, no head
Don't take off my legs and tail
Oh, the temptation to knock him off
Flexing paw
The end to a long, brutal day of napping
Meaty thigh
View from the sofa
You can't see me now
You talking to me?
Hodge stars in Taxi Driver
Who, me nip? Snap.
Trust
Big furry shrimp
Not my head again!
Foot warmer, or I'm not allowed to go anywhere
Stretch
Have you been telling lies about me on Facebook again?
I'm not dead yet!
Yes?
A little more to the left

(Some of these photos, already of questionable quality, were resized. I hope I can find more of the originals.)
