Telstar is over ten years old now. Is he slowing down, I hear you ask? Perhaps becoming more sedentary, less kittenish, not quite so lethal?

Well. Today's photo is behind a cut because it contains freshly killed bunny (not gory). )

Telstar wouldn’t dream of nicking an unguarded fish stick, would he? Would he?

Me: "Telstar, I have messed up somewhere counting the days of this project and I am about to finish on Day 366/365. I do not have the energy to ferret out and correct this mistake."
Telstar: *blep*

Such a helpful cat.

Neither Telstar nor I are particularly impressed with my attempts to include him in my New Haircut Day selfie.

I got rid of the highlights and went back to solid dark brown, and I'm quite happy with it. Telstar is indifferent, to say the least.

Telstar has his daily fuzzing. Photo does not capture depth and resonance of enthusiastic purring during the process.

Another day of work comprised of stressed-out (but, thankfully, appreciative!) academics trying to meet impending deadlines, followed by two hours of governor training. Praise be for cat photos.
