My kitten overlords, chanelling Raz, take drastic measures to ensure that I will never again escape.

To make up for having left them for a week, I let Jessie and Jenny play with one of my favorite Christmas presents, my wobble salt and pepper shakers.

Jenny is pretty obvious in this photo, but can you find Jessie?

The rain outside is no match for Jessie!

Yes, I am the cutest kitten overlord ever. I ... am the Cute Overlord. (Not to be confused with Cute Overload, the website)

Jessie settles in at the desk this morning for a productive day of work. She is working on a manuscript for the journal 'Kitten Games' in which she gives mathematical descriptions of the Yellow Leaf and Squeak game theory.

Tiny-dancer bunny-princess kitten overlord must give a thorough inspection to my luggage before I can be allowed to house-sit!

It's time for a picture of Jessie, but I can't get her to open her eyes for the camera. She has developed a new game called "Find the Squeak" in which she squeaks when you touch the spot of her body containing a squeak. All very mysterious and fun because the squeak moves around.
