It’s laundry day, and Newton provides dedicated snoopervision.
Afterwards, he also provides an important reminder: No touching the fluffy mancat tail!
Caturday Story Time with Ashton
Ashton: All of us love to sit in the cat window. We take turns doing it in hope that the head peep will notice how dirty the window is and clean it up. Good help is so hard to find.
I rule the cat window at night. That’s when the neighbor cats wander by. And possums, too. And the man in blue shorts never comes to the door to scare me when it’s dark outside. So you’ll never guess what was on the cat TV the other night.
It was past midnight, and very dark, and suddenly there were really big things right outside. This was as bad as the man in blue shorts on the scary scale. Worse, because there were four of them. I had heard stories but had never seen them… vishus deer!
The head peep tried to take a picture of them with her eye-phone, but she muttered something about it looking like one of those bigfoot videos. Whatever that is. I had tried to show her that the dirty window was a problem. That’s what she gets for ignoring my suggestions.
If you click to biggify, you can kind of see the the rear end of one of the vishus deer near the middle of the terrible-quality photo.
Two of them were in our garden, almost within pouncing distance. Another two were busy in the neighbor’s garden. By daylight that we could see what they wanted. They ate all of the leaves off of our two hibiscus bushes, and half of the neighbor’s, too.
This is the neighbor’s hibiscus. It was green and bushy all the way around until the vishus deer molested it. Now there are leaves only on the side near the house. The deer must not have wanted to stand on the sidewalk to finish the job like they did with ours.
So beware, cats and kittens. The vishus deer could be sneaking up outside your window, too, just when you think you are safe from the man in blue shorts!
Flashback Friday with Ashton
Some of Ashton’s early photos are unpleasant due to her kittenhood injury and surgery, but the ones that were cute could melt the hardest heart…
The head peep looks back at these photos and wonders if Ash was ever really this small!
Have a great Friday, everybody. Caturday is just around the corner!
Technical Thursday: Mackerel Mode
A couple weeks ago, Cathy Keisha posted about using mackerel mode on a camera to get better images. The head peep has been playing with this with a lot of success. Normally, she takes her photos on her eye-phone, because it’s usually close at hand. But if she uses her old digital camera’s mackerel mode (which uses a symbol of a tulip for some reason), she gets a lot more clear detail.
Talk about detail… If you click to embiggen this photo, you can actually see the loose furs on top of Newton’s head because the head peep scritched him and didn’t pull them off before taking the picture. How embarrassing for Newton.
You can also get a really good closeup of all of the hair that Newton deposited on the cat tree that the head peep didn’t clean off before taking pictures or Photoshop out of the photo. It’s so hard to get good help.
Anyhow, paws up to CK for reminding the head peep that the camera had something other than point-and-shoot mode. If the head peep is going to be chasing us around with a flashy box, the least she can do is make us look good.
That’s it for today. Except Newton had one last message for all of you…
Newton: Hello, ladies…
