Thomas and Sammy weren't in a cooperative mood, but at least Sunny and Snickers allowed me to get a closeup.






Snickers isn't a little bitty thing any more - she's all grown up now.




Jellybean has discovered the joys of helping change the sheets - can you find the kitty?


Aha - here he is!





Whew! That was hard work - I'm going to have to rest for awhile and then find a snack to build my strength up!

What is it with black cats and sheets. It must be genetic.

Mr.Pippin says that Jellybean is doing a good job with the sheets!

Great pictures Stephanie. How did you get such great close-ups???? I REALLY need to learn to take pictures..... I would love to get close-ups of my guys.

Sparky thinks that Jellybean did a fantastic job of "making the bed" for you. He's my biggest "helper" here, too.

Jellybean says thank you Pippin & Sparky! He tries awfully hard to help Mommy all throughout the house. lol

Margaret - I don't see how you manage to make a bed with so many helpful little kitties. It's hard enough with just the one. Well, maybe two, if Snickers gets in on it.

Michelle - I got those when we were out on the back porch the other day. They were under the porch swing and I sat down and used the zoom - I have better luck using the zoom than I do trying to get close to them. They don't like the camera too close. Natural light is the key - I can't get any good closeups inside because my house is too dark, so I have to wait til the weather's good so we can go out on the porch.

Aren't we all lucky to have such helpful cats? hehehe

I love close up pictures of the kitties. Maybe I'll post one of Jeremy and Molly. Oldies but goodies.

Thanks for posting these. My favorite is the "ears" picture.


Maria

Thanks, Maria!

I like the ears pic too - I can't decide if he's ready to attack the "sheet monster" or run away!! lol

We'd love to see Jeremy and Molly - oldies but goodies are often my favorites.

It takes a few hours sometimes for me to make the bed. I start, the cats go wild playing with the sheets, then I leave the room for a long while until they finally leave the bed. Then I go back and do what I can fast!

OH MAN!!!!! It never occured to me to use the zoom and/or natural lighting.... I'll have to try to remember that in the great vaccuum between my ears. Thanks.

Wow that first closeup of Sunny has just the right lighting and just the right kind of framing. Well done!

I love the coloring on Snickers. I've never seen anything quite like that on a cat before. Simply lovely!

Thanks for sharing
