A New Skirt, And Puma Photobombing

As I wrote about a month ago, I just started working at the new Scandinavian branch of a company called Elevate. Last Thursday though, my lovely boss here in Sweden came into the office and told us she had gotten a sad mail from the highest boss in England. Since he had done no research about the Swedish market before starting up the office over here, and obviously don't understand that doing business in Sweden during the summer months is very difficult, since we all take out around four weeks of vacation this time of year, and so leave the offices pretty empty, he decided to chicken out and file for bankruptcy. Had he waited until fall, I think things would have gone much better, but since he seems to be a coward (I worked there a month, and he didn't even send me a mail welcoming me, or asking how I felt about working there...) he decided to get rid of the office in Sweden, and so leave us without jobs and incomes without even telling us about his plans at least a week ahead, so we could start looking for other jobs. That is what I call an inconsiderate asshole! At least I'm considerate enough not to mention him by his name here on my little blog...

But anyway, screw that, and lets turn our attention to a skirt and a cat instead!

One day when I came home from work, Fanny had cleaned out her closet - again - and created a whole pile of lovely things she was going to sell on ebay. I went through this pile, and ended up buying two skirts, a black 40s dress, and a floor-length black velvet antique cape with a hood! I like home shopping! The butterfly-skirt in the pictures above was one of the things that moved from Fanny's closet, to my closet - in the same apartment... The frilly top I can't remember where I got, but I've had it for ages! As you can see, Puma decided to photobomb every photo I tried to take of this outfit. So since she likes to be the focus of attention so much, here are two more pictures of the Cuddle Monster:

One of those days when I had nothing to wear, I re-discovered this light blue one with small, white polkadots. I made it a few years ago, after a vintage pattern from the 50s, and since I've only worn it about two times since then, I thought it was a good idea to let it have a day out in the sun - or in the office... - again! Something else I discovered when coming back home from my funeral-weekend, was that a litter box had been placed in the bathroom. And where there's a litter box, there is usually a CAT! So I looked around in the apartment, and found this: 

This is Fanny's sister's cat Puma. She's staying with us for a few days, and since I've met her before, I'm glad she's back! 

As I'm a crazy cat lady, I have met many cats in my life. But Puma is seriously the cuddliest one I have ever come in contact with! Since she feels I like her, she likes me too. As soon as I look at her, she starts purring, and she follows me around the apartment wherever I go. In the picture above she's "helping" me editing photos for a blog post.

Here she's guarding my precious vintage clothes! When she's not "working" she usually just tries to look as cute as possible - to get as many cuddles as possible...

If I haven't payed her enough attention - for about two seconds - she usually lies down on the floor, on her back, to show me how adorable she is...

Puma is also very interested in lizards. Here she's examining Tyra, one of Fanny's two leopard geckos. Right now though, she's lying beside my computer - purring like an engine. So I guess I'd better give her what she wants - my full attention! I hope she lets me sleep tonight though. Last night she was snoring like a human being...
