Let's see...
- Lynxie's whiskers, of course. They're so numerous and perfectly symmetrical. - The way his whiskers tip forward when you're dangling a toy or treat in front of him, almost as if "feeling" the air in front of him. - The wide-eyed, perked ears expression he gets when I get out the treat bag. - the pure white fur on his chin and parts of his neck. You can't help but want to stroke it with your finger.. - The wonderful stripey pattern he has, with the spots on his tummy. - The way his tailtip curls over when he holds his tail up, as if he's too lazy to straighten out the entire thing. - His adorable plaintive meows when he wants to leave or enter a room. Sometimes he adds a trill effect to them. "Mrrrowrp?" - The way he rubs against my ankles at the most unexpected times; IE I'm slaughtering demons in DOOM and suddenly I feel this softness against me. (I usually end up slaughtered in the game after this) - Those big eyes, especially when dark-adjusted and the pupils are HUGE. - The way he runs after me and pounces my ankle, sometimes biting. It may hurt a bit, but I wouldn't give it up for the world. - The cute sound effects he makes when playing. ...and probably much more that I can't think of at the moment. Cats are bliss. -Z Bobcat wrote: I was humming "My Favourite Things" today and thought of those words from it. It made me think of a poll we might take. What are YOUR favourite things about cats or kittens? I'll get the ball rolling with a couple of mine. Besides agreeing with Julie Andrews when she sings about those whiskers, I'll add my other favourite: - a cat's/kitten's purr. To me it's the most reassuring sound in the world, and usually cats intend it to be. Mama cats purr to tell their drowsy babies, "Sleep well. Everything's OK, I'm right here." And they often purr to tell their human serfs they're succeeding in their assigned task of making cats happy. OK, that's me. What about you? What's YOUR favourite thing about your cats/kittens??? |

Kittens: The way they purr so loud. The way their little tails stand straight up like sticks. The way they wave their little paws around at you, trying to look tough. The way they pop up and down like little bits of popcorn.

yodeled: "Kreisleriana" wrote snippage of lots of neat stuff Next: Toesies and nosies. They are so cute. I especially love little pink noses like Stinky's. It actually changes color, depending on how he's feeling! Most of the time it's a very pale pink, but when he gets excited or very, very cuddly and purry, it turns a deep, rosy shade. I loved your post, Theresa. So well and lovingly written. Frank's nose does this, too, changing from light pink to deep rose. I always ask him, "what are you blusing about now?". That must drive Miss Waffles to distraction!
