Photo/s of the day.

My kittehs.






My foot and a box and a Maybe. And the bits and pieces of the box from Maybe's 'eating adventures.'





Moet says: I can see you, under there, Maybe.





This is like Maybe's version of 'that scene' from The Blair Witch Project.





The white patch on her throat, the vet informed me, is called a 'locket.' It is a disqualifying and yet common feature in bengals. It ironically makes her more likely to be a bengal cross.





Her little whiskery cheeks have been gaining colour over the past two months. When she was born, they were white. Now the are where her whiskers are, her chin, and underneath are starting to change colour. The locket is still very white though. It's the only patch of non-ticked fur she has. Any 'white' fur she has anywhere else is ticked black down the bottom.





I smelled something interesting and now my mouth is going to hang open a tiny bit while I process what that means.





Love it.





Moet has a superiority complex, clearly.





I love his fur, my champagne Moet, my cream tabby. Before I got him, I had never actually seen a cream tabby (cream is the dilute of red, just like grey is the dilute of black) before. He gets the most amazing colourings. In Summer he goes more cinnamon, and his markings stand out a little more. In Winter he goes more creamy white, and the markings stand out less. At the moment he's in a holding pattern because he's still shedding (A LOT OF SHEDDING, his undercoat is like WOAH).





I was very spoiled as a child. I had a Russian Blue x with the distinctive emerald green eyes. Now very few other kitty eyes seem as vivid to me. But that's okay. Moet's plenty expressive without emerald green eyes.





He's also the king of everything.

The Maybe Blair Witch picture made my day, lol. Interesting about the locket. I've never heard of that before.

Moet's slightly grumpy face is cute too. ^^

Moet's superiority complex photo is my fave. He's such a beautiful creature! They both are really, but Moet's coat is so pretteh!

The superiority complex seems to be a cat thing in general XD

Heh. I have a really hard time picking a favorite photo of Moet out of this batch. I particularly like the second (him hunched over) and the last. I wonder if Maybe using the roof of the mouth to scent could have something to do with her being part-Bengal as well. I know some domestic cats do it sometimes, but it's really more common in wild cats. She is also an extremely lovely girl, but you know that already. :)

I LOVE YOUR CATS. <3333333

Yes, in the summertime, Wealtheow sheds like woah. Her undercoat is epic. Now that the temps are cooling off in this part of the world (I live near the desert so that's not saying so much), Wealtheow is growing out her luxurious winter coat and is looking more and more like a giant poofball every day.

But yes, Moet is a beautiful boy, and Maybe's mouth hanging open with interest is so win.

Kitties!

I love the cat photos. They are incredibly well done and it feels like many of them would make good pieces of art in their own right.

Between them being so expressive, and you being so skilled at capturing those expressions, I think you may have some of the best kitty pics ever!

always love pics of kitties. Yours are fabulously gorgeous.

The green eyes of some breeds are incredible. My Shaido has the most gorgeous gold eyes, that I love looking at. (it seems staring into the eyes is something of a dominance thing, and he'll turn away often) Siren's eyes are a paler, more greeny gold.

The locket is interesting - if I knew what breed Shaido might be, I'm sure his 'ascot' (same place) is the disqualifer, since he's all black.

btw - he's doing better.

I love your kitty pictures. Moet totally is the king of everything. The foreshortening in that one is really cool.

I missed my weekly dose of Moet spam! Maybe has grown up to be quite the gorgeous lady, too.
