  • Sunday Surprise Shots

    I don’t want to spend a lot of time writing today, but I did want to share some of my cat pictures:  “cat” for now, because we haven’t really discussed a name.

    This was the HARDEST “photo shoot” I’ve ever done.  He wouldn’t keep still and so many of the pictures were blurred or contained half of a cat!  He is in constant motion either nuzzling us or pulling himself along the bed like a slug.  VERY CUTE!  He rarely stops purring and I’ve noticed that I don’t think I’ve heard him meow, yet – just purr, non-stop.

    He looks tons better today and, so far, no yucky #2 potty.  This morning, after giving him is medicines (a mess and another blog story all by itself!), I was able to clean his eyes and nose up a little bit.  His whole face just looks much more clear than yesterday.  So, here goes!

    The basic pictures to show you his markings, skinniness, etc.  (Lori K: do you recognize the red mud paws?)  He’s very bony and leggy.  Then again, he isn’t even a year old.  But, he’s truly a small skin & bones cat.

    I put a tissue box by him to show how small he is at 9 months old.  He’s smaller than the box!

    He moves around like a slug.  Pulling himself with his front legs and letting his body drag as he inches his way over for more loving!  Constantly non-stop nudging and slug moving and he kneads the blankets constantly.  We laughed last night, because when Jesse played with him, he was upside-down and kneading the air with his claws!

    He played with Rissy as she called him with her finger, “Here kitty, kitty!”

    He was intrigued and thinking about it

    Then he prepared to attack/pounce on her hand.

    Not one claw nor one bite except gentle playfulness – ALWAYS!!!

    Here are a few final close ups.  The first one is so blurry because of his constant motion, but I included it, anyway.  He just wanted me to put the camera down and stroke & kiss him!


    Always snuggling up close and wanting to be kissed!

    This is him full face with a fairly cleaned up face.  Eyes and nose are doing MUCH better today.

    Perhaps by tomorrow, “what’s his name” will have a name!

  • He has a beautiful, sweet face! You picked a winner. I’m glad he is feeling better, too.

  • I think he is pretty!
    Am so glad the medicine is working!
    He looks like a cat we had growing up that we named Shazbazzer Thomas!
    Only he was 5 times the size of your cat!

  • He looks so sweet. Glad he is doing better today.

  • What a beautiful baby!!!

  • What a sweet kitten…I bet taking pictures of a moving object was a challenge!

  • He looks like an absolute doll! Makes me wish we were there so we could love on him too.

    On my camera (which is also a Canon PowerShot, just not as nice as yours), there is a place on the wheel on top of it to take pictures of moving things (mine has a picture of a little human face and a little animal face and they call it “Kids & Pets”). See if yours has one and that might help you with the “moving pictures”.
