Oscar was practicing his regal poses next to the ivy today when Stan happened to walk by. The resulting pose is a mix of regal and target acquisition. Stan was investigating the brisk breeze blowing in through the dining room window. Luckily, Oscar was distracted by a milk top on his way to the ambush […]
Category: Kitten Pic of the Day
A subset of Critter Pics of the Day, focusing on a year of daily shots when we got a new kitten. Any future new kitties will be added to this category.
KPotD #268: Ridgeback
Oscar has a unique trait among the cats I’ve known. When he’s in turbo affectionate mode, the fur along his spine forms a ridge all the way up to the top of his head and his tail puffs up. It’s like the Halloween Cat puff, except lovey. He must’ve been having snuggy dreams earlier today, […]
KPotD #267: Monday Chair Thief
I turned on my heated blanket this morning before changing out of my workout clothes so my work spot would be nice and warm. In the two minutes I was gone, Oscar noticed the warmth and stole my chair. Fortunately for me he got distracted by a sound in the kitchen and hopped up to […]
KPotD #266: Weekend Snugs
Oscar has been adjusting well to the weather fluctuations we’ve been getting lately. He quite likes the cold mornings for snugging dad. He’s also discovered the heated bed that we got for Tai and Nutter a few years ago. Nutter spends a lot of time in it, and Stan has been using it as well, […]
KPotD #265: Bench Press Kitten
Oscar has been helping me on my return to the gym this week after two months off to fix a bursitis issue. Bench Press Kitten always offers excellent moral support, and I’m glad to say the workouts went well. He’s one of the best parts of having a home gym, no doubt about it. Between […]
KPotD #264: Departure Prevention
This is what I’m presented with any time I try to go out the front door. He especially loves to lay there in the afternoon sun, but he does this in the morning too. I call it departure prevention because, well, it’s super effective. Seriously, how am I supposed to just step over that bundle […]
KPotD #263: Grumpy Cuddles
I interrupted Oscar in a bath-snug session with Stan this morning and he was not pleased about it. Note the expression. Stan was his usual long-suffering self, but I’m glad to say it didn’t turn into a slap fight. The cuddle puddles are getting more frequent by the day!
KPotD #262: Toy Thief
Oscar likes to redistribute Udo’s toys as Kitten Entertainment Devices and temporary forts from which he can ambush us all. His choice today was Udo’s favorite pull toy, affectionately known as The Innard because it looks like a rope of intestine. Udo takes this in stride and just waits for Oscar to get bored and […]
KPotD #261: Golden Eyes
Oscar was happy to share his sun beam with me this afternoon when I took a break to get some kitten pics for today. His eyes look especially golden when he lounges in afternoon beams and I think they’re gorgeous. He seems to have started growing into his bone structure, so he looks more like […]
KPotD #260: Fishing
Stan has taken up residence on Brian’s backpack because the table is an excellent place to observe our fish tank. Oscar likes to hop up there to hassle Stan, but tonight he noticed the fish. Stan is obviously less than thrilled about this arrangement, but he hasn’t tossed Oscar off the table. Yet. Give it […]
