It's a cat's life!!! #220125 Jul 4th, 2008 at 07:28 PM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY plants 'n pots OP Purl One OP plants 'n pots Purl One Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY These pictures were all taken 3 days ago, mid-day. All of our cats were lazing around and could barely muster a smile for me - all except Seven who had headlights!!! Amber in the window in this room - she was so sprawled out and lazy, that at one point she actually rolled over in the windowsill and fell out on top of a plant that is in a stand just below - it actually was quite funny! This is my son's very large, polydactyl cat, Oliver. I've posted pictures of him over the years, whenever they come to visit. He and Seven will be with us for about a month and a half now. He jumped from Brian's bed to his computer desk in a blink of an eye and made himself right at home! Brian says he does this all the time! And lastly for tonight... Seven! She cracks me up with her expressions! Look at those headlights!

Salem wanted equal time - here she is in one of her favorite resting spots - inside the closet in this room, on a box, behind hanging clothes! So she can peek out and not really be seen since she's so dark and all that show are her eyes sometimes!

When she and Roxie were smaller, I used to put both of them in it and they'd enjoy the warmth and a different view for a change. I found a large canvas "cathouse" in a store recently, and took Amber outside in it for the first time today. She wasn't too sure of it at first - kept pawing at the front screen. Amber settled down to enjoy the nice afternoon. Take a look at this thing - it even has roll up windows! Pretty cool! "HUH??? What's that I hear? A leaf? A bug? WHAT???"
