Man Cat Monday

This is the longest period of time that Stripe has kept his flea collar on. Needless to say he hates it. He usually manages to get it off within half an hour of it being put on him.

It's always so funny to see him for the first five minutes after he gets his collar. He does this little dance and backwards shuffle. Then he goes around in a circle - backwards, pulling his head back. :-D

Then he runs outside and about half an hour later he's back. Without the collar.

Tummy and Toes for Tuesday

Boy. Cats sure are the experts on the art of sleeping and sleeping well. One such expert is my own Max. This fat boy is famous for his sleeping marathons. He'll get up, stretch, eat, sit for a while in a daze, yawn and then go right back to sleep.

No wonder he's so fat! I wish I could get him more active. And no, he doesn't play with toys. I'll throw a ball or some other fun toy at him and he'll just look at it with utter disdain and turn his head away. The only things he gets excited about are pens and pencils. He'll play quite vigourously with a pen for about...30 seconds and then with a bored yawn flop back down somewhere and off to sleep he will go.

Anyway...here he is, fast asleep. He didn't even notice me as I snapped several shots of his cute white tummy. Make sure to head on over to lisaviolet's diary for the line up of more cute tummy shots today and every Tuesday!

Man Cat Monday

I had a plant in this basket. Over the weekend I put the plant outside so it could get some sunshine. I get back inside and hear a shuffling sound coming from the basket and this is the sight that greeted me: Sebastian.

Weekend Cat Blogging in the Friday Ark!

You want me to do what? Get on board a giant boat? What? Oh! You mean it's Friday and it's time to board the Friday Ark?! Oh well of course I'll get on board! I wouldn't miss it for the world! Come on! Let's head on over to The Modulator for boarding!

And by the way, don't forget that Dragonheart over at Dragonheart's Domain is hosting the Weekend Cat Blogging event this Sunday. It's gonna be an extra special weekend too as Dragonheart is only 5 days away from his first Birthday! Yeah!

A Tail for Thursday

Stripe is very protective of his tail. He doesn't like it touched, interfered with, admired, praised, spoken about or meddled with in any way by anybody, no matter who you may THINK you are. He doesn't like it when other cats get too close to it. He loathes it when humans think they are allowed to touch it. If you get too close he will warn you by growling. If you do not immediately retreat from the tail he will growl a little louder. If you still decide to be obstinate (whether consciously or not) he WILL slap you very, very hard. If necessary he will draw blood.

As I snapped this picture he was giving me the second warning : the growl. I snapped the photo very quickly and then beat a hasty retreat.
