Three-sided Cube
How many black cats can fit in a cat cube?
Three, if Giuseppe sticks his butt out the back door!
Jelly Bean, down here in the lower left, was in there first, then his mom, Mimi, whose face you can see in the upper right of the opening, was cuddled with him.
Then Giuseppe decided he wanted to be in on the party too, and crawled in as far as he could and laid down, using JB as a pillow; you can see the back of Giuseppe’s head in the middle of the opening.
Poor Mimi had to sit up or be smothered by Giuseppe’s big hug.
This poor cube has only been here for six days and it’s taken a heck of a beating! When it isn’t full of big black cats, it’s being used as a big soccer ball as I find it all over the room, upside down, sideways, and yesterday I found Mr. Sunshine lying on top of it all flattened beneath him. We’ll see how long it can last with this type of treatment.
This was a challenging shot: I could barely get any distance between my lens and the cube, and three black cats meter pretty dark to begin with, then put them inside a red object and it was all I could do to get any detail at all. The flash lit up the cube but darkened the inside, so I had to use light streaming in from the window off to the side. Well worth the dozen shots it took to get one…
I have 2 of those cubes and have to put them up occasionally, because my cats get craZy with them sometimes and end up having hissy fits! I love how your cats sleep among and on top of each other, because the best my 9 ever do is sleep touching me – one of this leg, one near my head, etc.
@MyKinKStar, I’ve never had one before, partly because I work at home and tend to generate plenty of boxes and paper bags and other containers, but I always knew they’d love one of these.
I’ve rescued and fostered for 30 years and have always had at least 7 cats, though most often I had nine, my “magic number”, to the same result as yours, friends with me, but only occasionally cuddling with each other. These five black cats are a family, mom and adult children, and they still pile up and bathe each other and play as they did as kittens–it’s a totally unique experience when I’ve always had to maintain at least one isolation room for bad kitties!
I love it. They are so inquisitive not to mention they know the camera is on them. Lucky you.
Bernie, I’ve created a bunch of monsters where photography is concerned!
