Daily Photo: Everything is Ours First

Imagine that—it’s a BOX OF BOXES! What other kitties in the world are as lucky as that?!

Mr. Sunshine, Jelly Bean, Bella and Basil are guarding some important contents in that box. It’s vintage cigar boxes for my next creative project, but they aren’t really mine until they’ve been inspected and slept on by my fine felines. I am totally grateful for their hard work at integrating new materials into the rules of our household.

A bath on any new items has to happen as well.

I can’t wait till they let me know the boxes have been completely processed and I can get to work on my ideas. After all that work I feel a little presumptuous asking them to clean them for me…

A little bit of tree climbing today. Mimi revisited her original outdoor recumbent cat tree. I am trying a small vest-type harness for Mimi and it works much better, but maybe not the one I bought. I think this is our solution, though.

Mewsette joined us outside for just a few minutes this morning.

We are awake! Mimi and I found periwinkle flowers in the woodland garden. You can see these and more of the things we find in the back yard on my photo blog Today.

And Mimi and I found periwinkle flowers, finally!

Wordless Wednesday: Textures in Sun, 2014

I’ll Take Care of This! 2014

“I’ll take care of this.”

I have no idea what he was planning but Mewsette and Sunshine certainly looked put out about something. Had I done something wrong? Had I forgotten one of the rules? I don’t know! I tossed out the catnip toys thinking hoping that would calm them down and they did mellow out quite nicely.

Undercover, 2012

Do you see a cat on this bed?

Do you see a cat on this bed?

I don’t see a cat on this bed.

I don’t see a cat at all.

But I do see a lump under the quilt.

Think I’ll go and give it a squeeze and see what happens.

(It was Giuseppe! He is famous for this.)

Bella's eyes certainly have it!
Bella’s eyes certainly have it!

The eyes really have it! It’s the most extraordinary thing about black cats, the way their eyes just glow against their fur, no matter what color their eyes happen to be. And Bella has those round eyes in that round face, and if that wasn’t enough she was sitting with her tail curved just so. This photo is available framed or unframed, on canvas or on paper on Portraits of Animals. You can find this photo in my gallery of Feline Photos.

    • I’m about to go down the stairs to feed them dinner, accompanied by all of them! I wish I could video the stampede.
