catnip and coffee

Work pretty much sucked the life out of my yesterday and I expect today to be the same. I need a little amusement, how about you? Luckily the funny came in the form of my cat yesterday afternoon. So I took mini break to get a few photos! Really bad photos I might add, as it was super sunny out. (All photos are clickable for larger versions.)

Without further adieu, I present to you: Planter Cat!

I know it’s hard to see his face. Let me assure you he was quite happy. I thought the boy and I were going to die laughing when we saw him climb up into the planter. I was a bit wary at first that he was going to use it for a litter box! Then I realized he just wanted a nice sunny spot, and the pot gave him the perfect vantage for keeping an eye on me in the family room and his boy out on the screen porch with him. (Did I ever mention George likes to follow me? Everywhere? And so does the boy?) Planter Cat is just very lucky I had not actually planted anything in that pot yet!

Planter Cat likes his boy to pet him:

Then Attitude Cat Planter Cat started to get sick of me taking pictures and gave me the non-look look. As in “I’m not going to look at the camera anymore, now get away from me so I can take a nap in the dirt” look:

The next photos are even worse, since I snapped them from my hole in spot on the couch, with my laptop perched, well, on my lap. I must show them to you though, for after we stopped swooning over his royal cuteness, Planter Cat got yet more comfortable:

That was a lovely strrreeetch…right down to the toes….

And this one you must click to make bigger for the full effect:

Dude. That yawn is contagious!

I KNOW it’s blurry! But can you see the tongue curl??

That was such fun. Now I need coffee, and I need to get down to business!

ps. for those interested in bloggy meta, this is my 50th post! Who knew I had so much to say?! Heh.
