Daily Photo: A Nap Interrupted

Sienna and Basil are certain they are purrfectly camouflaged. Well, they are almost right. It’s kind of a murky day, overcast and not as warm as forecast, so everyone is pretty snoozy.
Cuddling into the unmade bed is a thing. I’m not sure when they’ll let me make the bed again, so I think I’ll have to sneak back up right after breakfast.

I Haz Whiskerz, 2018

Jelly Bean poses in the best light to illuminate all of his many long and curved whiskers.

As if he could get any cuter he has salt and pepper whiskers. The white ones wave or even curl more than the black ones, and they are all very long. Now that Sienna only has her meals in the bathroom all are back in there again, especially when it’s a sunny morning and the little room is cozy.

I got so many photos of Bean sitting on the corner of the sink with the sun warming the back of his head and illuminating all his whiskers that I decided to use only the closeups in today’s post. It would be unsurvivable to use them all right now. I’ll use the full length poses another day, though I do have a sort of contact sheet layout below that shows thumbnails of them all.

His eyes aren’t narrowed just because he’s cool. He’s also on his way to dreamland…
Dreamland…

The whole painfully cute episode.

You’ll see some of these again soon!

Everything is Ours First, 2017

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.

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.

Wordless Wednesday: Textures in Sun, 2014

I’ll Take Care of This! 2014

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?
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.)
