Dougy is tired of posing and being a pretty kitty boy…
Andy’s not pleased taking Dougy’s place. He slips off to the guest bedroom. If I want to get glamour shots of the kitty boys today, I’ll have to be a lot sneakier.
Post 1489: eclipse day, so here’s a bunch of kitty photos to hold you over…
They would like to remind you that they don’t take bad pictures. 🙂
Thanks! You should see the ones I toss out! Ha!
I came here, Doug, to know the cats ‘ behavior durng the eclipse but I see i check a post before the eclipse !! 🙂
But it’s always a pleasure to come here .
In friendship
Michel
I hate to disappoint everyone, including you, Michel, but Andy and Dougy didn’t really react to the event. They just did their normal routine.
Probably the kitties are scientist and knew what an eclipse was ! 🙂
Ha! Ha! Yeah, it disappears when a giant jaguar eats it, bit the jaguar then barfs it up again because everyone (especially cats!) knows cats always are barfing up hairballs or something.
Those are beautiful photos of the boys, Doug!
Eclipse day here too. We saw it mid morning. The darkness and stars mid morning is really something, and the totality event is beautiful.
Agreed! When it went total here, you could hear a cheer go up all over town! Fantastic! I’m glad I chose to watch it at home, though. The town was a sold mass of cars, trucks, busses, airplanes (at the airport), and people. They came from all over the world. There was a bit of cloud cover come through during the event, but, fortunately, the sun wasn’t covered much as it began to eclipse, and it was cloud free during the main event. Woo hoo!
Kitty pictures…way better than a total eclipse anytime!
We have our bias, of course, being kitty people, and I can tell you that I took a lot of them today, enough (easily!) for a couple posts, maybe more. Stay tuned for tons of kitty photos!
Hey, this is a kitty blog (mostly), not an astronomy blog! I agree with you, and my eclipse blog will be mostly kitty pictures since I didn’t take any of the event itself since I wanted to immerse myself in the moment, not mess around taking photos that could never match the professional photos in quality or interest since I use a smart phone to take photos. Besides, one needs a special filter i=unless one wants to destroy one’s smart phone or camera!
It is important to be cosy at home ! Bonne soirée passionnante et exceptionnelle , you three !!
Amitiés – france
C’était ça, exactement!
Any shot of the boys is great, no glamour shots needed. Enjoy the eclipse.
I did, and I got a lot of kitty photos before the event, enough for two or three new posts!
that’s probaby the same with all models… they are not easy to please… but at least fourlegged models work for a treat… the two legged ones want just moneeh because they never eat something LOL
Treats are good! Andy and Dougy tell me so!
Yay! I’m right, they’re sleep and resting. Do you like the solar eclipse, Dougy?
Still have several hours to go…. It’s 5:10 AM here, and there are about five hours to go before it starts, and about 1:48 more to go before the total eclipse.
🙁 🙁 I’m in asia so I can’t see it…
It is likely that you will be able to see it on television or the Internet. NASA had a live broadcast of it, and that might be available to you, too, after the fact. It was an amazing experience, and I think you would find the process very exciting, given your scientific nature! You” be an old man before the next total eclipse in Thailand:

Here’s a list of 21st eclipses, including total eclipses and where they will occur. You have to scroll down to t=get into the future events, but you will most likely be a grown man by the time one occurs in your vicinity. As intelligent as you are, you most likely will be well-educated and making a nice salary by the time you are a man, too, and will be able to fly to a total eclipse in your region! I know you will find the total eclipse very interesting to witness, even though that phase is short. Best wishes for you to see one of these once-in-a- lifetime events…unless you are willing and able to travel all over the world to catch new ones!
Yay! Thank you so much but… I need to wait 53 years??? I’ll be 65 years old!! The world will so different in that time. So I need 50 years to see an eclipse? I’m not going to be interested anymore when I’m old.
I’m old and I was very excited to see one! You don’t loose interest in things just because you get old, especially if you start life with curiosity about everything. I did, and I still enjoy learning about natural phenomena through reading or experience!
You’re right! Thanks for cheering me up!
My pleasure! You have an exciting life yet to live, and, with your intelligence and curiosity, I predict great things for you!
