Good advice! I do, in fact, do just that. Another thing I have to be careful of is sitting on my computer chair before I turn on the light. It’s black and the boys are black. Both love to sleep on my chair. I verify it’s empty before I sit!
Well, it always ends in “blinky eyes”, which, as you know, is a bit of overt loving! “I see you!” >blink-blink-blink!< “Well, blinking right back at you!”
That and nose bumps and forehead bumps! We do a lot of that, too!

The boys like the nose bump 🙂 It is raining here today 🙁 It feels like spring *sigh*……

…and we have a winter weather advisory going! I think this’ll be a good day to stay inside and get things done. (Or pretend I intend to get them done. We’ll see at the end of the day which way it went!) 😉

Hahahaha! That is for sure! Pretend it is! I don’t know how much is going to get “done” here 🙂

Oh, I pretty much wasted the opportunity and watched shows on restoring old automobiles and the like. It’s a secret vice.

sweet peek a boo eyes. Ali totally understands body by prednisone.
hahaha…I loved your cape thingie….”body by Prednisone”. After being on it quite a few times I can understand but with me it was more like, “cheeks stuffed by the local squirrel.” You get the idea.
“Moonface! — yeah, I know exactly what you mean! It actually is an over-sized t-shirt. I had it made on Zazzle. Though I had no intent to make money on Zazzle, just get cats on mugs, that sort of thing, the Prednisone t-shirt was one friends on Wegener’s granulomatosis support forum wanted. It consistently sells a lot of shirts. SOmeone’s buying it. My profits are given to the Vasculitis Foundation. Actually, I round it up to the next increment of $10, so they periodically get a nice little donation because of moonfaced people walking around in public in these shirts!
Me, too! Though I enjoy doing these – writing, adding photos, etc. – it’s nice to occasionally have one that takes fifteen minutes from start to publish. I’ve had some that took a whole morning to polish to that publish point.
I usually have four or five posts in the works at any given time. I work from the photograph backwards. It’s the image that will inspire me. For example the one I just posted. Floridaborne gave me the poem a while ago. It was only last night when I got the shot of a disheveled Dust Bunny that it came together. I’ll look at shot hundreds of times thinking “I really like it, but nothing is coming” then one day BAM, it hits me. Then there are those I don’t even have to look at the photo and I already have the post written in my head. 🙂

I’m never quite that prepared. If I have two ideas in the same, I probably will post twice in that day, so I try to avoid that! One thing I try to do is take a few photos of the boys or one of the other each day. Or make a video and hope it inspires a little story I can edit out of the raw footage. Mostly, I just try to have fun doing it. If I don’t feel inspiration on a given day, I don’t thrash myself for not posting something.

I have gotten into the habit of posting twice a day, which is why I try to stay ahead of the game with posts on hand. By the way, have you seen any difference now that you are using categories?
Loading...
I think it might be a bit early, though I’ve picked up a couple newbies! Then, too, I only went back to October to update these categories because I saw it was sending messages out each time I updated the categories, something I’ve had one complaint about. Someone wanted to know how to avoid getting the updates every time I made changes, and there is no easy answer short of not getting any notifications of new or changed posts, as far as I can tell. Anyway, now I am self-conscious about these things because I know how many updates I have to delete a day from other blogs (and mine!) each day. It’s a major part of my computer day just dealing with than.
How true! Unless I can convince one or the other to defect over to my side, I’m stuck spying by myself! That said, DOugy is the one I probably can bring to switch side.
Andy is especially vigilant because he knows I am looking for him, oftentimes, to give him his heart medicine. He’s a brave little soldier once trapped, but he’s a special forces trooper escaping and evading till then!
Just a natural reaction to medicine i think :(. I know i was a pain with meds when i was a child LOL
Loading...
I guarantee Andy’s reaction is reasonable. I’ve smelled his medicine, and it is very medicine-y. It is flavored with tuna, but apparently that doesn’t cut the medicine taste that much. He gives me a hell of a look when I squirt it in his mouth! Poor kitty…!
Loading...
Sounds just as lovely as the awful cherry flavoured medicine for us. 🙁
Loading...
Yes. I think all the flavoring does is accentuate just how awful the stuff tastes. Kind of like cough syrup.
Loading...
Indeed my thought… 😡
Loading...
Which reminds me, Andy still hasn’t had his morning dose…! (“You can thank your Uncle Marc-Andre for reminding me, Andy.”)
Loading...
Oh dear. He’ll probably send me a complaint now haha. 😉
Loading...
So far, he still hasn’t fallen into my trap, so he may never make the connection. You are safe for now, Uncle!
Loading...
Haha! You should publish a book on “how to trick your cat into taking their meds”. Trust me we would buy the first copy. Last time we had meds my partner got bitten in the thunb and needed an injection… Not very successfull!
Loading...
I have a limited repertoire of medication techniques, but the best bet is to talk your veterinarian into letting you have liquid medicines if at all possible! No fingers in the mouth that way, definitely an invitation for revenge by kitty! I also know Andy, of the two brothers, will nip at you if he gets upset enough. That’s one reason I try not to get him too upset when taking h\im to appointments. His groomer takes cats on the basis of “not a biter, OK; biter, there’s another groomer who lives 11 miles away who might take cats if you cry a lot!” 🙂
Be careful with the cat in the dryer.
I’ve heard stories if people not noticing the cat in there and turning it on…
Good advice! I do, in fact, do just that. Another thing I have to be careful of is sitting on my computer chair before I turn on the light. It’s black and the boys are black. Both love to sleep on my chair. I verify it’s empty before I sit!
Priceless!!!! 🙂
We play this game all the time, and it is lots of fun!
It looks like a blast!
Well, it always ends in “blinky eyes”, which, as you know, is a bit of overt loving! “I see you!” >blink-blink-blink!< “Well, blinking right back at you!”
Oh I know, that diffuses a lot here 🙂
That and nose bumps and forehead bumps! We do a lot of that, too!

If she were Persian, she’d already have that moonface!

(((Shoko)))

That was the best set of photos I have seen in a long time. it really made me laugh! Thanks. 🙂
Thanks! I came across the one of me, and realized I had the others of my cats. It kind of came together without much effort on my part!
I love when that happens, those are the bast posts. 🙂

Hahahahahaha!!!
Little eyes follow me all day, so I fight back…!;)
You peeked too early 😛
Or did I…?! They sneak around watching me all day, so I have to be one step ahead of them…if I can be!
They are advantaged – they can take turns in sleeping and spying.
How true! Unless I can convince one or the other to defect over to my side, I’m stuck spying by myself! That said, DOugy is the one I probably can bring to switch side.
Beware of the double agent.
How true! If Dougy caves in for a few kitty treats from me, Andy probably can buy his loyalty some other way! 😮
Absolutely wonderful! :)))
They are so cute when they do this. I’m not so much.
Lol. Love that shot. 🙂
Thanks! (Though I’m not sure which one you mean…!)
Haha xD it was for cat eyes peeking over of course. 😉
