Cats

  • Sun worshipers 🐱☀️

  • I wanted to go shopping, but, apparently, I am not 🐱😻

  • 6 years and counting 😺🥳

  • If I were as eager into doing my garden as my cat is into eating, my garden would’ve been done already. Ah well, lazybones is making some progress now, at the start of meteorological summer. (Sry 4 🙈 🎞️🛍️ job… LZ.) 😂

  • TIL. When a cat grooms another cat, it’s meant to reassure the other cat they are part of the gang, and also that the groomer is dominant over the groomee. It establish social hierarchy without fighting, although if both cats start grooming each other, they might get more serious and play-fight. 🐱

  • I should keep drawing animals, and slowly my skill should improve.

  • To speed things up, I rushed through the tutorial and quickly sketched a portrait of a beautiful cat. Maybe not the best way to learn how to draw, but it is, after all, a challenge.

  • I got this double cat hammock for Christmas. The cats seem to enjoy it.

  • One person’s trash is supposedly another person’s Xmas treasure. They were bought on a whim, yet never used. I hope I’ll put them to good use.

  • On caturday we eat together, yet separated because of dietary differences. Still seeing the other eat improves the appetite 🐱🍽️

  • Caturday means day of tolerance and love. 🐱

  • I always wondered why my cats are so strong…

  • Not yet caturday, yet so close 🐱😻

  • I went away for quite some hours today, and my cats wanted to hang out with me, on my lap, to show their love. Unfortunately, they’re big cats and my lap has limited space available. I guess I should lie down to offer more “human surface” for them 🐱

  • So perhaps I should do some urban sketching with a notebook and a pen. Here’s two sketches of my two Bengal cats in low-low resolution (16x16) 🎨🐱Perhaps the resolution should be more like 64x64 pixels for better recognizability, or even higher, 160x144. So more experiments…

  • I don’t have a front garden, so I made one. I call it a micro garden. My cat Maahir seems to enjoy it 🌸🐱🏠

  • One of my cats had to be vaccinated. He never leaves the house, so this is a big deal to him. The vet was nice to him and he got a clean bill of health, including his teeth. Now, back home, he seems himself again, busy grooming🐱

  • When I picked the first names—both adjectives—of my cats I didn’t put much effort in it, yet in hindsight their meanings turned out fine. Aziz means mighty, and Maahir competent. Bengal cats are closer to nature than most breeds, and are prone to 😱 mischief and destruction🐱
