Feline Friday: Are you looking at me?

January 4th, 2008 by Kimberly

are you lookin' at me? are you?

Usually, Sergei doesn’t like to look into the camera. But for some reason, on New Year’s afternoon, he got up from his nap (he was at the end of the kitty pile in the background), walked almost to the edge of the bed, sat down, and stared up at me intently… just long enough for me to snap this shot.

Look at lots of other cats (and birds! we like birds!) aboard the Friday Ark. It’s all kitties (or is that Puddies?) on display for Weekend Cat Blogging, at A Byootaful Life.

    Friday Ark #172…

    We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….? Visit all the …

    His stare is so intense, I wonder what his kitty brain was thinking… I hope my cats eventually look into the camera…

    I, too, wonder what he was thinking.

    I think he’s become so used to being photographed that he assumes a pose.

    […] Over at Music and Cats, Sergei faced the camera beautifully after his nap, which resulted in a great photo! […]

    That is such a clear and beautiful photo of Sergei! How nice of him to pose - maybe he was still in a bit of a daze after his nap? Thanks for participating in this weekend’s edition of WCB!

    Sergei… what a beautiful boy! I always marvel at his wiskers, they are so pronounce. But I didn’t realize he only had one eyebrow :-). Too cute!

    You really are my favorite cat photographer, the catness of the subjects always comes through so clearly, if that makes any sense. You do have unusually attractive puddies; however, so do I - and you would never know it! I was given a new camera for Christmas, which seems to be just right for me, and have also got myself a new computer with more bells and whistles photograph-wise- so I’m going to make an effort towards improved cat images in 2008.

    Bedspreads are red;
    Sergei’s eyes are blue.
    As I hold Marjarasana,
    I’ll think of you!

    Sometimes they do get that “deer in the headlights look”, intense, as if they are burning a hole right into your brain! Sergei …. he who must be obeyed!
