Cat pictures

This morning I decided to take picture of my cats but my real camera doesn't work very well so I had to use my webcam. It started out well.


A picture of me before this all started. I wanted to make sure the sun wasn't too bright for pictures:



A picture of Emerson. I tried to get one of me and him together but he is 12 pounds of muscle and doesn't like to be pick up. He squeaks like a toy when you do:


I was able to pick Harriet up and bring her to my desk but she was hard to hold. She was mistrusting of my intentions:


Very mistrusting, she scratched me and then proceeded to knock everything off of the counter one by one. She knows that pisses me off.


Finally I decided to be patient and wait until she was ready for her closeup:


Then she decided to take a nap right where I could get a picture of her in the first place:

Looks like a sunshiney day in the TCs. I'm heading back up that way later this afternoon. That last one of Harriet is a pretty damn good shot for a webcam! The 3rd one looks like Emerson is on the webcam himself with that paw stretch out prolly clicking the mouse. He's got the same look as you do in the next pic. Your Cat's Eyes frames help complete the illusion too.

It was a beautiful day today!

There was a lot of light in my condo this morning. I think that is the only reason it came out so well.

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Funny!

Harriet is sleeping on my lap right now. She crawls on to it under the desk and just lays there. She is so needy yet so cute.

That picture of Emerson is great.

That is his "you hand is for petting me" look.

Eeee... long-haired calico!

And would probably try to take my hand off if I tried to give her a tummy-rub, too.

Nope! She is totally an attention whore. She just didn't like that I wasn't petting her and that is why she was so pissed.

Hillarious! I know what you mean about taking pictures of your cats. Mine always squirms away at the last second. What pretty kitties!

Harriet usually is a good picture taker, just needing to be right by the computer made it hard. I didn't notice how bad the scratch was until I just looked at it. No wonder I had such a great look on my face up there.
