Photo/s of the day (again!)

[moonvoice]

Because 2011 isn't 2011 without a Maybe and Moet picspam.

Man, I love this new icon.
Hee.

Anyway, have a cat, have a kitty cat!

Here's Maybe looking kind of content. Never mind. It won't last!






Well, it'll last long enough for another shot of relaxation!





And then she'll go back to her normal expression. Which is sort of mildly anxious, but not too uncomfortable. This is the look she has like 80% of the time when she's awake.





Glen and I have determined that Maybe would wait less than thirty seconds to start eating an unconscious or dead human being.





No matter what, she's still my pretty, anxious girl. She started eating my dressing gown yesterday. She's been sleeping on it for months, and yesterday she decides to start chewing on it.





The draft of Tem's Lucky Paw is on the right. The cats kind of own my art studio. Generally they respect the art and the brushes and stuff, but every now and then Maybe sniffs a sable brush and is like 'OOOOOOO THIS IS FOOOOOOOD.' No Maybe, it's not.





I can't believe we still haven't had her for a year.





Life wouldn't be right without a moody picture of Moet.





I love how direct his expression is when he looks at you. I call Maybe's name, and she rarely responds with eye contact (direct eye contact frequently makes her uncomfortable), though sometimes she'll look at your mouth. Moet looks directly at you. For a long time. And sometimes, if you maintain the contact long enough, he'll come up for pats.





Moet doing what Moet does every day that I have a paintwater glass on my desk. Drinking from the freaking paintwater. I think there's a law that says if there's a body of water in the house (toilet, fishbowl, the water in the shower after the shower is turned off, paintwater, your glass of water, etc.) that isn't their actual waterbowl, they will always prefer to drink from that.

Heh. These are all delightful. I particularly like the one of Maybe giving a tongue flick, though the one of her in Bast pose was also quite riveting. And that final photo of Moet is priceless. He's so refined about how he drinks the water-which-is-expressly-not-for-him. :D

Edited to add: I was reading BoingBoing just now, and they featured related photo. (I'm also charmed by the name, Tybalt being the Prince of Cats.)

[moonvoice]

Heh, that related photo is magnificent! Our old cat Smokey used to do the same thing when Arna had fish. And was never remotely interested in the fish! Hee.

He always drinks water in a refined manner. And he doesn't 'snatch' food, so if I give Moet and Maybe the same amount of a treat at the same time, I have to hold Maybe back so she doesn't steal his. She has NO respect for his food. Especially if he's eating it slowly and delicately!

This is also cat - however - who won't take his favourite foods of all time directly from your hands, and will wait for you to put it on the floor (or his bowl) so he can control how he eats it.

I love your icon too. It makes me smile every time I see it. XD

Oh Gods, Moet and the paintwater for the win. That's so gross and yet he looks so dignified doing it that it cracks me the hell up. XD

[moonvoice]

That was actually clean water, heh (though the paint glass itself looks disgusting because it's stained from years of use). I quickly went and changed it, because he was literally about to drink the dregs of paintwater which is sooooo gross.

[outlineofash]

Ahahaha, the picture of Moet and the paintwater glass is priceless!

[moonvoice]

He loves the paintwater! :D

[ariestess]

LOVE your icon muchly.

I wouldn't be surprised by Maybe nomming on an unconscious or dead body in less than 30 seconds.

And I adore that shot of Moet drinking out of the paintwater glass!

[moonvoice]

Seriously, I'm sure Maybe's thought about how she could get away with it while we're still living. That cat has antisocial personality disorder or something. (She doesn't, but we like to joke).

[ariestess]

*chuckles* Yeah, we joke that our oldest boy Leo would slit our throats in the middle of the night if he could figure out how to open cans and how to work the computer to keep ordering food to be delivered... He's got a bit of a megalomaniac personality, but we love him to death, the dickhead.

[sidheblessed]

I love the little white tuft under Maybe's chin.

Haha, the one of Moet drinking out of the glass made me laugh. Willow tries to do that, except it's plain water rather than paint water.

[moonvoice]

Yeah, I love her little 'locket' too. I pat it whenever I can, to her consternation. She's always like; 'wait, what?'

How's Willow going with his hair growing back?

[birgitriddle]

Your cats are beautiful. ♥

I always enjoy looking at pictures of them, plus you catch them in good poses.

[amethystfirefly]

direct eye contact frequently makes her uncomfortable

My brain read this and was like "zomg, YOU HAVE A KITTY ON THE AUTISTIC SPECTRUM". And, then, I stopped and thought back to other things you've written about Maybe and was like "IT MAKES SENSE, TOO. :D"

I... have no idea where that came from. I blame it on the head cold and being half-asleep.

[amethystfirefly]

Also, one of the kids wandered by when I was viewing the "Moet with the paintwater" pic and asked "does the paintwater make his poops a different color?"

All us adults are laughing our asses off now.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

:)

[white_rabbit]

Paintwater has a flavour, duh!

I want a 'I'm a kitty cat and I dance dance dance' icon. :D

[seillian]

You have some beautiful cats! Their very photogenic and look like they have tons of personality.

Damn, I love me some kitty cats. ;) (I really want a cat)
