Welcome to the 120th Carnival of the Cats: Demolition edition.
What, you may ask, does demolition have to do with the Carnival of the Cats? Nothing, really, but I’m sitting here, covered in plaster dust, drinking a diet coke and finishing up the Carnival a little late, because of demolition.
This weekend, we’re demolishing our 1970’s kitchen to make way for a new kitchen more in keeping with the style of our 1908 house. This demo was planned for a month ago, but as construction schedules are wont to do, the schedule slipped. As a result, I’ve been tearing out cabinets for a few hours, then taking a break to add a few more kitty photos to the Carnival, ripping up sheet vinyl ’til I’m exhausted, then adding a couple more links…
And the McKittens? While they have expressed some interest in visiting the construction site (that’s Sergei looking through the zip-door separating the kitchen from the rest of the house), they’ve mostly taken to the upstairs to nap away these weekend days, much as they always do. Sadly, we haven’t had time to join them. In fact, it’s time for me to get back to my sawzall.
Here are the cats:

Our troops are some very, very, very nice troops
When we say our cats, we’re talking our own little sweethearts, Tiny (above) and Baby. No question we mean what we say.
Such dedication, to get the Carnival rolling despite nasty demolition. Be watchful of your feline friends during construction. I heard tell that one of my predecessors in this house actually ran away from home while her kitchen was being remodeled!
