October 21st, 2005 by Kimberly

sasha is bored

… and then he leapt onto the top perch of the cat tree, flopped over, turned his fluffy white belly into the air, and went to sleep. Oh, for the life of a cat.

See the cats and more at the Friday Ark. Carnival of the Cats will be in the Mind of Mog this Sunday.

    I love his little pink nose rimmed in black. Just like Nicky’s. It seems the males get the cute noses but the girls are the actual rulers of the kingdom. Your new camera is great. Is this a fast multi-shot mode to catch the yawn? My old Nikon is too slow reacting between shots to do this.

    What a character! The photos are great and just dying for captions…;~)

    I’ve always hoped that there’s such a thing as transmigration (a close relative of reincarnation, only crossing species). If I’ve been a good, good person, I’ll come back as a well loved housecat whose only responsibility is to find a sunny spot for sleeping.

    Just when I had talked myself into not upgrading my camera you go and do that to me. Are you sure you don’t work for Canon?

    Oh yes, new camera verrrrry nice. Now I’m sleepy.

    Lovely! Your camera even manages to capture the yawn’s contagious factor.

    Oh wow, PERFECT pictures! That second one all by itself says “I **SAID** get me my Stinky Goodness NOW!!!!” (LOL yeah, I know it’s the start of a yawn, but still…)

    Give us a nice, big kiss. :)

    You know what I’m about to ask…

    Which of these photos do you want added to the CotC banner?

    I’d add one or all now, but I can’t decide.

  • 17 Tom Oct 22, 2005 at 2:16 pm

    Maybe you need a new cat-egory called Photography in which you describe how the fantastic photos were made. That will really give some of us “equipment envy”. Nice work!

  • 18 Simply Coll Oct 22, 2005 at 10:25 pm

    Those are amazing photos!

    Yes, my Bear sleeps all day.. but come 5:00 AM…..

    Breaking my own rules? That’s what they’re made for.

    Three new photos of Catherine Collingwood’s little friend Emily Frost have been added to the rotation. Also, two more of the most-furry Sasha of Music And Cats have joined the lineup. I’ve been asked what happens if someone already has…

    First up from ACM, Pixel up-close and adorable, definitely a treat if Izzy weren’t fixed.
