Cat Break - Day 2

[guppiecat]

Concluding the Egyptian Mau set. These include shots of the cats playing with the mousie I got them when I went to Target to pick up things for my grandmother.




The vicious killer stalks off with her prey. Once again, the cycle of life turns and, though they shall mourn their loss, the population of little fuzzy toy mice will be kept in check.


The Toy of Undetermined Placement is always of more interest than the One Which Is Known.


"I'm not touching you!"


Too slow, chicken marengo!


Just when you think you've caught the feather, it turns out that it has never been and never will be entirely yours. Truly, a metaphor for life.


"Love you"


"I has a mousie!" "I has a ride!"


My money is on... well... not the mouse.


Ouroboros


We must address the growing problem of catnip.

These are gorgeous photos--I like the one entitled "Ouroboros", and the one of both cats attacking the same toy, but really, they are all excellent, and really capture the essence of cat.

"Two slow, chicken margengo!"

Too slow for this cat!

I love this set. I particularly like "I has a mousie / I has a ride" ... my cats rarely carry their toys like prey, and it amuses me to no end when they do.

Delightful! I'd like to grab one or more for personal use only. I keep a photo-screensaver and the directory Animals was designed for photos like this. I don't share such photos. Do you mind?

[guppiecat]

Sure. They're all licensed so that you can do that (non-commercially). You can grab what you like. Click through to Flickr. The "All Sizes" tab should get you to the full-resolution ones.

Thanks!

Please don't break cats.

BTW, why are cats so inherently funny?

[guppiecat]

I think that all animals are inherently funny, but cats tend to be both the most familiar (due to their status of pets) and the most alien of the familiar (due to their non-human thought processes (dogs are close to humans, emotionally)), so there is greater opportunity for generally-accessible humor.

In a world where most everyone had a pet shrimp, the shrimp would probably be the funniest animal.
