Unattended cups of ice water as entertainment...

So I got a cup of water today, and left it on the counter to go check on
something else. When I returned, well...

He was sitting there playing with the ice in the cup for around 15
minutes! Plenty of time for me to grab the camera and try to get a cute
shot. Oddly enough, he didn't try to drink the water... He just found
the ice cubes fascinating!

Of course, knowing where those paws have been (in the litterbox,
particularly) I poured myself a new glass of water. But darnit, it was
one of the most adorable things I'd seen!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Dip paw in water to push down ice.
2. Watch ice cube float back up.
3. Shake paw vigorously to remove cold water, spraying catslave and camera.
4. Redo from start.

What a cute picture! And is that really Lynxie!? He's just
beautiful, so much bigger than before, and he looks like he's
developed into a more adult coat pattern, too. Also, you seem to be
developing a very dramatic style now when taking pictures of him.

(singing) "You put your left paw in you take your left paw out, you put your
left paw in and you shake it all about! You do da floaty ice cube and turn
yourself about.... dat's what it's all about!"

I've started reading photography books. I'm trying to make my pictures
interesting composition-and-lighting wise, and am learning how to
compose better. I think.

I'm also working more with existing light and avoiding the flash; this
really makes pictures look better, though it presents some challenges.

Hope you all like it!

It definitely shows! The pictures are great. Looks like you have a really
nice camera, too.

Of course, you have an extremely handsome subject, as well!

LOL! I sometimes put some ice in the cats' water dish in the summer.
They think it's fascinating. It's like... like water... but it's solid!

Wow, what a handsome grown-up cat he's turned into. Not that there was
ever any doubt.

For a different sort of amusement, give a raccoon a sugar cube. For
those who live in countries without raccoons, they rinse their food in
water before eating it.

I remember one tame raccoon licking his paw, finding it sweet, and going
on an intense search of the water bowl...the cube HAD to be here
somewhere...

teehee !
