kittypicspam!

[lagilman]

The Chanukkah elph came, bringing with it my secondbest present -- a digital camera (A Cannon PowerShot 600 elph, for them as are curious, chosen mainly because of my positive experience playing around with tina_jens's 300elph a few years back, and some excellent tech reviews on-line.)

This morning I've been playing around with it, figuring out what's what. And I have discovered that, true to form, Pandora is quite blase about being photographed (mom, cut it with that flash!) and Boomer would rather investigate the shiny thing in mom's hand than pose cutely in his usual spots...



Pandora is Miss Piss this morning...


Boomerang is ready for his close-up...

I promise not to go overboard with the kittypicspam. Really. Honest.

(or at least always put it behind the cut)

cute kitties. Though the knit/crochet geek in me was distracted by the throw under pandora, which is it?

[lagilman]

that's actually a family heirloom of sorts - my grandmother made it when I was a preteen. I'm not sure how to describe it -- rows of bent-step ladders? Give me an e-mail and I can send you a jpg, if you're curious.

wyvernfriend at livejournal dot com will get me. It looks like knitting.

amend that - have added a photo to the original posting.

KITTIES!

Hee!

Those are pretty much the quintessential pics of the two. Pandora's is, "Yeah, whatever, leave me the fuck alone," and Boomer's is, "HI! HOW YA DOIN'!"

Actually, Pandora has been quite social, as the folk here last night can attest. This morning she was cranky because I keep getting up when she wanted to snuggle.

[lagilman]

ah, but Pandy was never cranky. She was Discriminating in Whom she Cuddled With. And allow her her dignity, if you please. Until she decides to have no dignity at all.

There's a reason I call her the Dutchess, after all.

Always nice to see cranky cats mellow in their old age. Marcus was Mr. Standoffish to everyone except terri_osborne when they all first moved in with me, but he's turned into quite the snuggle-slut......

Pretty kitties. I admit that I like Boomer's in-your-face approach.

[lagilman]

I tried to get shots of him
a) on his window-perch
b) sprawled on his back
c) in the kitty-condo

Each time, the moment I raised the camera, he was all "ooooo shiny! lemmee see!"

What a beautiful girl! Her expression is one I get from my Jane all the time. *g* And Boomerang has the sweetest face!

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Awww, such cuties!

Beautiful cats on beautiful surfaces; you couldn't get more cozy-in-winter without a roaring fire. Master Harry says hello.

Pandora looks like a bigger version of my Shadow. I do love that Tiger coloring. And Boomerang looks so freindly. Actually, I am surprised to see them as thay really are. I was picturing big and black and long haired for Pandora and grey short-hair for Bommerang. GO figure.

Pandora looks like a bigger version of my Shadow.

Your Shadow must be the size of a postage stamp then, because Pandy's six and a half pounds soaking wet! Boomer, on the other hand, is more than three times that...

edit: Boomerang looks so friendly. *sheesh! I can't type worth shite*

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Wow, that closeup of Boomer is awesome. Love how his eye came out so clearly.

[lagilman]

He really does look a distressing amount like David Caruso. I keep having the urge to buy him a pair of Sunglasses of JusticeTM.

[housellama.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, he does. I'm never going to be able to look at David Caruso now without cracking the hell up.

That's AWESOME.

*grin*

It's the pale eyes with the white rims. And the fact that he's a natural redhead.

By all means go overboard. What else are cameras for????
