I rest my case.

By the time I'd hit 'cochineal,' Artichoke definitely wasn't hearing a report on my findings We've had a tacit agreement on these things, since the time she brought home a couple of TTD panacottas

I made a calendar as a Christmas present for Mrs Chap. This month's photo is Lily as a puppy...

 

[sojourner]

My two mad bastards

Pan, caught in a particularly lunatic pose

And Ras, who had to be disqualified in the end as she just would not accept the correct spelling

 

[mrs quoad]

How come white bibs and socks are so common? There must be something quite specific and moderately genetic about those areas

 

[temper_tantrum]

You're thinking there's a very prolific white-paws-and-bib tomcat out there somewhere? Mine also has white bib and paws (note the tabby splash in the middle of her bib! Never seen another cat with that marking ... )

 

[shakespearegirl]

We went out on the weekend, leaving some jam doughnuts in a box on the kitchen bench. Came home to one on the floor half eaten, with a very guilty looking stinky sitting next to it

 

[mrs quoad]

You're thinking there's a very prolific white-paws-and-bib tomcat out there somewhere?

tbf, even then, I'd be interested in why those specific areas of colouration were passed on consistently by that tom cat. Your alternative thesis doesn't answer my research question, in other words. It merely poses another root cause for bib- and sock-specific fur colour homogeneity.

Herbert watching his rodent brothers. He usually ignores them, or runs away, but just occasionally he'll sit and stare at them for long periods.

Actually, Herb is a white sox and bib chap as well.

 

[purenarcotic]

He's a handsome chap.

 

[CRI]

Why thank you! He ain't bad for an old man of probably 15 (and every bit as smug as he looks!)

 

[purenarcotic]

He does look very discerning in that. All he needs is a top hat and tails.

 

[Orang Utan]

Like this:

 

[CRI]

Ha ha, he's got one tail already (actually yesterday he thought it was an alien, judging by his attempts to kill it!) and hates hats.

Luke's day is proving to be just as relaxed as mine today (which is obviously very chilled as I've got time to snap pictures of him and post them on Urban)!

It's sounds silly but in a small way I feel like I got one over Luke in his choice of locations to chill. We all know how much cats like to resist anything we prepare especially for them, for instance get them a scratching post and they'll ignore it and rip up the sofa. Anyway the rug was arranged in such a way that Luke would have a favourite spot in the living room which enables both of us to keep an eye on each other. Much to my surprise this is one of Luke's favourite spots.

 

[sojourner]

Beautiful kittycat I love his nose!

 

[fredfelt]

Thanks sojourner! On the same theme of being one step ahead of your cat here's another picture.

When it's raining, Luke, in common with many cats, likes nothing better than to go outside to get wet and then come back in to rub his feet on your bed and dry off again before popping out on the prowl again. When a proper nap is in order Luke prefers this spot on the bed. When it's raining in order to stay one step ahead of the feline muck spreader in I put a towel over his favourite quiet place.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Mr. K. contemplating some feet!

 

[temper_tantrum]

Looks like he's about to pounce - and nom!

 

[CRI]

Gruffydd on the rampage earlier this evening.

 

[moose]

I love him so much

 

[CRI]

Oh so do I! He just sat there with that gormless look on his face, raising his "eyebrows" occasionally. Amazing wee pig.

 

[CRI]

Was too wet for Griff and Mal to go out today. Griff needs a haircut again.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

:meep:

 

[sim667]

Bought kitteh a new toy.

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

*goes through, 'likes' all the cat photos*

 

[CRI]

Love how kitties fall for it everytime (well, most do!) Great clip.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Holding his little feets:

BELLYMONSTER:

He gets water on his face when he drinks:

He's a bit deranged:

I'm going away for a month tomorrow, and I've already had several little cries because I'm going to miss him so fucking much.

 

[CRI]

Adorabbubble! A whole month? A long weekend is rough enough.

Herbie hated the rain yesterday.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Yep, a whole month. It's going to be really hard. We curl up together every single night on the sofa and fall asleep. He's become a lot more attached to me over the past 12 months as he's getting a bit older now (he's 12). I'm not ashamed to say I love him a stupid amount and I'll miss him terribly

 

[temper_tantrum]

Oh, poor kitteh Beautiful, too. Lovely belly!
I hope you've got suitable quantities of slaves to attend to his needs in your absence?
