Upside-Down is Right Side Up

Pierre: When there’s a sunbeam, the only way to feel its rays tickling my tummy is to be upside down.

Pierre is upside-down I love to lounge in the sunbeams while the friendly sunbeams heat up the tiles around me.

Pierre with sunny chinThen I can roll around on the warm tile and feel the sunbeams soaking their heat all the way into me on both sides. There’s nothing better than that!

Pierre's sunny tummyNewton is scheduled to go to the vet tomorrow. Don’t worry, it’s just for a little armpit manscaping to get rid of his mats. I’m planning on laying right here in the sun just like this while he’s gone… and maybe for the rest of the weekend, too!

    What a fit, handsome child of Bastet! In truth I came across your photo-entry while searching for info re cats herding their adoptive humans (still working on it. Devising search terms for the reverse of a universal proverb is harder than seeking help for writing Help manuals). Felt compelled to comment, owing to your superb photos. It’s not nearly so easy as one might imagine.

    Also, he looks SO healthy (knock wood :)! This matters more than his beauty. At least–based on a single viewing of a Cats Being Cats GIF compilation–I’ve concluded that far too many people are swayed by sweet Felix’s pleas–they overfeed beloved kitties til the poor dears become butterballs, & suffer health consequences that blight the sybaritic, lazy pleasures of being an Old Cat. Even if you do NOT discuss cat-human herding somewhere here, am glad to have stopped by…
