Cat Quotables-Insomnia

"Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I have never heard of one who suffered from insomnia."

Christmas Photo Shoot Outtakes-Stilwell

Okay, I feel like I've saved the best for last.

Stilwell was my first model and I started out with the cutest little hunter's cap on him.


I can practically hear Evelyn back there thinking "What a tool."




 So I switched to the scarf. First, he thought it was a toy, then he got distracted by the other outfits laying around.






I think he's trying a bit hard to pull off the "angelic look."

And then, this happened.

Rawrrr!

Maybe he's trying to impersonate Bumble from the Rudolph TV special.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Photo Shoot Outtakes-Evelyn

Since Evelyn is our only girl kitty, I wanted her in a pretty Christmas dress for her holiday photo. She disagreed.



She doesn't exactly do "lady-like." She then decided she was so embarrassed that she was just going to hide in the cottage.




I don't think her stalker knows what he's about to get himself into.

Finally I thought I was getting some cooperation when she sat under the tree. Unfortunately, she sat there and gave me the stink-eye.





She wouldn't be Evelyn if she didn't have the attitude!

Christmas Photo Shoot Outtakes-Lowenstein

Lowenstein is such a doll and looked super cute in his Christmas sweater last year. I was tempted to use it again, but I had this scarf theme going...




Still super cute, right? Then he realized how much fun the little ball on the end of the scarf was. I just had to wait until he was ready to come down from the cottage!

Christmas Photo Shoot Outtakes-Harvey

I waited until the last minute to get our Christmas cards together, which included waiting until the last minute to take the cats' Christmas pictures. I got some good shots, but there were a lot more crazy ones. Here's what happened when I put the scarf on Harvey.

I'm pretty sure he's plotting my death.
 Harvey can look rather smug at times and I was really going for more of a "cute" look. That turned out to be a challenge.




Then he couldn't decide if he was going to bolt from the room or try for the ultra-closeup.



But he's oh, so handsome, even in the bad shots!

Cat Quotables-Spirits Come to Earth

"I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through."
