Protector

I let Julie out front when I got home today but he was hunkering down because the angry birds were chirping at him.  The other cats went inside at this, but Julie was made of slightly sterner stuff and stayed.

I stood next to him and he relaxed some and started moving about.  I was glad enough he was ignoring the birds, but this meant that he decided to stick right by me, making picture taking harder.

I got this one by sitting down.  When the neighbor drove his car home and was getting out I managed to get him squared away for a picture with no squinting.

Peek-a-boo

Everyone was clustered down near my feet today at picture time.  Like usual Gus was the closest, right by the wheels to the desk chair.  He also climbed up onto the end table next to my armchair and sat with his feet up on the arm – making sure the tips of his front paws touched my arm.

Odds and Ends Again

I let the cats out for a bit to wander today but they didn’t go far.  For some reason everyone but Julie was very cautious — here’s Calla getting all lined up to rush back in the front door if need be.

If You Can’t Lick Them…

Luckily, Julie can lick them…if ‘them’ refers to his paws…

And Gus can lick his lips all over….

Perfectionist

Calla isn’t mad, just so disappointed…

Looking at You

I love the look on his face..also zoom in for the water drops from the fountain on his chin.

More From the Yard

At this time the two of them were transfixed watching a neighbor approaching the mailboxes halfway down the block with a big dog.  I’m not sure if the dog or the neighbor was the more disturbing element.

Count Down

Three cats on the front walkway….

Feets of Gus

Today’s the day to highlight Gus’ little white feet.  First the two back feet….

Easy and Hard Subjects

This evening the cats weren’t being good photo subjects – Gus is lying flat on his side in the middle of the walkway except when one of the other two walks by and gives him a sniff to see if he is still breathing (I suppose).  Then he pops his head up for a look.

So I went back to some of the weekend shots and found Calla being a good subject – staying in one position, looking in my direction and staying put…
