Default Cats are such drama queens!

Not my photos, but some that my sister emailed me. Enjoy!

LOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now / Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride / Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten, / Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score, / It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom / Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go / To see the cherry hung with snow.

I think my favourites are 'drummer cat' & 'opera cat' - the marmalade on his hind legs with his mouth open - I think he's actually batting a mouse - not sure. Photo #10 from the top.

Good one Oric! Misty knows the sound of the lazer being turned on and she starts chattering for it. She begs to play with the dot.

I have a thumb cat. I got him because I had another thumb cat for 19 years who just died. They are very sweet, and very smart, and sometimes a little spooky, like they really know what you are thinking when they stare at you.

I highly recommend them and you can find them at most shelters.

I've only seen one 'thumb cat' in real life and it was a charmer, very smart and not to insult cats ; almost dog like. It would come to the door to greet / check out whomever stopped over, rode in the car with her owner and generally was very outgoing.

Sounds like our Misty. She has to be in on anything we are doing and she loves to go for car rides. She gets in the back window when we get to the grocery store ans it's there while one of us goes in. One night I was sitting there waiting for DH and a bunch of young men walked by. As the last one went by she moved and he freaked out. Then she moved her head back to where it had been and the rest of the guys started teasing the one that saw her move. They were telling him no beer for him because he must have started already if he's seeing stuffed animals move.

Lint the brushing a cat out of a cat looks like what Toner did with one of their dogs, used the fur to make an outline of the dog on the floor.

The cat in the toilet reminds me of Misty. If she's in the bathroom and you go to flush the toilet she jumps on the seat to watch the water go down. We keep telling her that one day she is going to miss the edge and end up all wet.

Misty does that, I ask her to please put the pretty end towards me, not the stinky end. I swear she gets a nasty smirk on her face when she does it.
