Cat spam: a visit from Mamakitty, with August in the window.

[juushika]

We had a visitor today.
Forgive the shitty snapshots—I still have not read the manual for my new camera (soon!) and I am shooting half-blind (and very confused) as a result. Forgive my (relative) brevity: I'm dealing with a resurgence of my on/off repetitive stress wrist pain.

Do you remember Mamakitty? She's the neighborhood stray who went from wary to running across the yard for treats, although she's still skittish. Today she was out on the front porch, which she does sometimes although we usually see her out back. I gave treats and pets, but she was jumpier than usual—perhaps because it was a new environment for interacting.

More to the point, August was downstairs with me and so was able to stare intently at Mama through the window (rather than infer her presence through the back door)—or at least play a joint game of pretending to be horribly unconcerned about that other cat.




What most tickled me though was watching August imitate Mama's every posture. She did the same with Spike; the cat has a surprising amount of attitude and more independence than you'd think, but given a cat on cat situation she's probably the happy to please little copycat.


Of course it soon devolved into a little hissing spat and Mama batting at the window screen until I scared her away but, well: cat.

That has been your daily dose of picspam. Perhaps one day the pics themselves will go back to not sucking.
