Feline Friday: Tilt

February 17th, 2006 by Kimberly

When Sasha is watching something intently, he often tilts his head to one side. When he was a kitten, this mannerism was so pronounced that we wondered whether he might have astigamatisms or other vision problems. He seems to have no trouble seeing well enough to perform all the normal activities of a much loved indoor cat. I guess he just likes to look at the world from a slightly different perspective sometimes.

Whatever your leanings, you’ll find lots of animals on the Friday Ark (up sometime later today). The Carnival of the Cats will reach the century mark on Sunday at Bloggin’ Out Loud. And one month from Sunday I’ll be hosting the COTC Second Anniversary Extravaganza! I know some of you who have cats, and love your cats, but don’t post photos of your cats. Why not?!? Mark your calendars now: post cat photos on St. Patrick’s Day!

    It is always a good idea to look at things from a new perspective. Einstein solved many difficult mathematical problems by looking at the solutions from a different angle.

    He is wonderfully adorable, but you already know that! I am quite certain he knows that also, which, of course, makes him even more adorable. What does a cat who is MORE than adorable do? Why tilt of course.

    What a beautiful cat! Maine Coon? Norw. Forest cat?

    I did a search for blogs about cats for a reason. I am trying to let people who care about cats know about a commercial that advocates negligence for cat owners. I’m not a political person, I just really thought it was irresponsible of them. If you’re interested, I left a short post about it on my blog here:

    If not, that’s okay too, and I enjoyed seeing the photo of that beautiful cat!
    Best Wishes,
