{52 Snapshots} Week 40: Framed

The Photographer's Motto: Shoot. Crop. Crop Tighter.

Framing can make such a difference in the impact of a photo.

What do you think? Do you ever crop your photos after shooting?

Did you know?

Systolic/diastolic.

That's the two numbers that make up your blood pressure reading: the upper and the lower numbers.
But you can't even get a reading for the lower number on a cat!

It's really hard to take a cat's blood pressure. Especially if your vet doesn't have the right equipment.
Read more about it in our article on Catster!

Thursday Thnooze Redux

So Maxie made everyone swoon with his Thursday "Thnooze" last week. I can totally top that.

Seriouslies. With one paw tied behind my-- yaw-w-n-n-n-nnn.....

One Word Wednesday

Meh.

A Girlcat and her Yard

Mother says I shouldn't be out in the side yard without supervision....

So she snapped this photo and immediately bundled me back inside (in a most undignified manner, I might add).

Treating the boys like this, I would completely condone.
But honestly...
Doesn't she understand I'm an Independent Girlcat of Means?

National Tell a Joke Day

Faraday:  Aunt Connie told us today was National Tell a Joke Day.
But I'm not sure you're ready for this.
Are you? Seriouslies?

Faraday: Oookay, you asked for it. Lemme just step up to the mike.

 *testing...1..2..mimimimimiiiiiii*

What is it called when a cat wins a dog show?

A CAT-HAS-TROPHY!

*rim shot* 

What did the alien say to the cat?



"Take me to your LITTER"!!! *ba-doop-boop*

What do you get if you cross a panther with a snowman?



FROSTBITE!!!

Ahhh, I crack myself up....

National (personal) Space Day

Maxwell: Dood. Space! Personal space!

As in, you're violating mine.

And, uh, no offense bro... but you really need to learn to brush.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

I got my eye on you, Mister Wand Toy.

National Sense of Smell Day

Yes, it's actually a "day". It's an opportunity for teachers to promote learning about how the sense of smell works.

Did you know the domestic cat's sense of smell is about 14 times that of a human?

We kitties would like to take this opportunity to remind you humans to scoop out our litterboxes.
(Frequently, please! It smells much worse to us than it does to you!)

In Honor of Haiku Day

Alive, and yet not ---
Flipping, flying through the air,
The mouse entices.

So how'd we do
with our first Haiku?
;-)

A Bit of Foreshadowing

Well, hello, Mister Mouse.

You're gonna be the star of the show on Friday, did you know that?
But until then...

Birthday Blues

Dear Maxwell, it hardly seems you could already be five years old!

We're ever so glad we took a scruffy (stinky) little kitten into our home that November day. And we thank you so much for putting up with us those first 5 months, as we (incessantly, it seemed) plied you with medications to make you well again.

You've grown into a handsome mancat! We love those piercing blue eyes...

The intense focus you give any and all wand toys. Even the teensy little 'mewp!' you have for a meow, that politely begs for playtime.

And even though we're sorry as can be that you've had to have so many teeth removed, we adore the goofy range of expressions you never tire of giving us.

...yeah, that one, too.

Happy Birthday, Maxwell!

"Now about this Take Your Child to Work Day. I'm driving. We're clear on that. Right?"

Sepia #SundaySelfie

Maxwell: I asked Momma if we could add a little drama into today's selfie. Here I am with Miz Ellen's Catnip Kiss (airborne!). Is it dramatic enough?

{52 Snapshots} week 15: Blessings

Allie: It's good for a kitty to count her blessings every once in a while.

I realize I have several. For one, all the nasty, cold, white stuff has forever been banished (until next winter).

And the yard is turning green, the trees are all in bloom....

But I think most of all, I count my biggest blessing...

The brats aren't allowed outside!

Ah, solitude. A blessing, indeed.
