Perfect cats, perfect light

Taking pictures of cats can be a hassle. But the other day the sun was shining perfect into the living room. And lowe and behold, the cats where on their best modeling behavior! Seriously, this happens like one time a year.

Normally I have to paparazzi follow them, crawl on the floor, try to lore them out with toys...But this day, this day it was just "snap, snap, snap, done". Amazing. I feel like buying a lottery ticket now.

Foods!

We have a subscription for cat food at ZooZoo. So every 11th week or so a giant bag of cat food arrives at our door. But this time it was a month late, so the cats have been eating lower quality food in the meantime.

And boy where they excited when the IAMS-bag finally arrived. They opened the bag themselves and ate nonstop for an hour. then they took a break and then ate some more.

Out on the balcony

It's spring and the cats love hanging on the balcony. I plan to build some kind of protextion, so they can't fall down. But for now, they can only be out on the balcony when one of us is watching them. The get braver every day and often try to sneak over to the neighbors balcony.

Fluffy (brown) is a very curious cat, she examines everything. Sniffing the watering can, smells the floor and of course jumps up on the railing. Thankfully, she got excellent balance. Frankie (red) is 8 months old and amazed by pretty much anything. He loves watching the children play soccer on the pitch below. Of course you are supposed to lift him up so he can see properly.

 

Time for a nap

Scott has found the perfect place for a nap. The box with clothes we are gonna donate to charity. I guess we have to donate the cat now. That's the rule, right?

Well, he might thought the he had found a perfect place to get some peace. But just a few minutes later Fluffy joined him in the box. She loves Scott and does anything to be close to him. And this time he couldn't relly get away, since Fluffy was laying atop of him. Win for Fluffy!

Scott under cover

Scott loves laying under the cover. He digs his way in and thinks he is invisible (sometimes his tail sticks out). But he only does it when non of us in the bead. I guess he doesn't like sharing it. At least not with humans. Cats are accepted.

And oh yeah, he always looks mean in pictures but he is quite shy and very cuddly. Like a big teddy bear.

Camping with the cats

Earlier this summer we went camping with the cats. They loved being in the forest and as the day grew on the became bolder and bolder. No one escaped, but they sure explored the area well.

Dexter really liked being in the forest

She was a bit afraid in the begining, but then she explored a lot

Fluffy was runing around like crazy. She looked like a My Little Pony jumping around.

Scott looking beautiful

I fit perfectly

Scott loves to lay on piles of stuff. To the left outside of the picture I've cleared a space for him...but does he lay there? Of course not! Not when there are piles of great stuff you can lay on. That just wouldn't make sense.

Scott is a Norwegian Forest Cat. My mom breed and show cats. Check out her beautiful cats at Datolitos.com and her Facebook-page.

I can haz chocolate

Why are the cats posing so nicely? I have a chocolate muffin in my left hand and they love chocolate. Scott and Dexter doesn't believe that chocolate isn't good for cats.

- Naa, that's just something humans say to fool the dogs.

- Yeah, they are so stupid, Scotts agree.

How about you? Do you let your cats eat chocolate? I let them have a taste sometimes. And if you ain't watching your muffins they steal one real quick and speed eat under the bed. Have happened more than once...

PS. No "real chocolate in this muffin. Just cacao. Still dangerous?

Dexter really working her "puppy eyes"

Scott (black) is a Norwegian Forest Cat. Dexter is a house cat that we took in last year, she was living outside and had no home.
