unimpressed

[ A black metal baker’s rack stands in front of big windows. The bottom shelf holds a pair of cat beds; the rest have a variety of plants. ]

I came home from the post office yesterday in a crappy mood because of other people making poor life choices, so in an attempt to cheer myself up I stopped at one of the abandoned houses & picked up this baker’s rack I’ve been eyeing for a while.

I hosed it down yesterday, then brought it in today, figuring I’d get it set up with some nice spots for the boys, & then get pictures of them exploring it.

That is … not what happened.

Tom flopped on the bed in his usual boneless way.

[ Major Tom, a big orange tabby, is curled up on a pinky-purple blanket, with his head on his paws. ]

I leaned over to get his handsome face …

[ Close up — his nose is pink & his whiskers start out black but turn to white at the tips. ]

… & woke him up, which usually results in glaring, but he just did this.

[ Tom’s rolled over onto his side. His paws are stretched out in front of him & the corner of his mouth is turned up in a lil smile. ]

Alas that he did not display his lovely belly in the process, but I got his toes.

[ The tops of his paws are grey, but the bottoms, & his toebeans, are black. ]

In the meantime, Loiosh just did this.

[ Loiosh, an orange tabby, is curled up in a cat bed on top of a set of shelves, right below the ceiling. He’s not awake AT ALL. ]

… watch, I’ll catch them all over the thing tomorrow. When I don’t have my phone on me.

*snork* they never pose. Not a one of'em. Must be one of Bast's Rules.

Loiosh will sometimes vogue, but he was raised by dogs.

Conversely, our Amy would run to be in frame when I'd get the camera out. No matter what I was getting a picture of, she'd pose for me.

Cats, the one rule they always adhere to is is that there is always one or more who are exceptions to every rule.

Otherwise they'd be predictable! Can't have that.

[siliconshaman]

Except when we expect them to be unpredictable...

[kellan_the_tabby]

... but then that'd be predictable!
