I mentioned earlier that I am knitting hats for the newborns at the county hospital. Here are some of the latest creations being shown by world-class models.
Below, Murphy models a snappy white cloche with a garnet bow embellishment.
And then Sam shows off a novelty cupcake hat.
Then in profile.
This modeling can be an exhausting business.
I am amazed at how calm these guys are during the photo shoot.
Not new, but I think it is funny. I keep checking Sam’s paws because he is evolving.
Bonus: Cmdr. Samuel Vimes and his electronic devices.
Don’t try this at home. No. Don’t. Really.

A cat trained by prisoners to deliver cell phones and tools to dig tunnels was caught at a jail in northeastern Brazil after sneaking in with forbidden items strapped to its body.
“An agent saw the cat and went to look at it closely because something about it seemed wrong,” Marcelo Avelino, the head of the prison guards’ union, told the O Globo newspaper.
The agent found a bag tied to the animal’s body filled with saw blades and drill parts for concrete drilling and digging tunnels, along with a cell phone complete with battery and charger, Avelino added.
The cat had often been seen coming in and out of the Alagoas jail.
Prison officer Luiz de Oliveira Souza told the G1 news website that prisoners had raised the cat and that relatives would often take it home after a prison visit.
“We were very surprised by this new tactic of prisoners,” who trained the animal so that it returned to the prison and even managed to carry materials, the agent added.

I’m not sure who this is.
The dignified Baxter.
The stylish and trendy Pandora
It’s the Holiday Season! This one is not new, but just because it’s Christmas. . .
And a bonus – Happy, sleeping Sam Vimes
As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows,
cats have enormous patience with the limitations of the human kind.

Cats at work and for those of you who are fans of Red Dwarf – “fish!”
