When one of our cats lays with his head pressed against something, usually while sleeping, we refer to the event as head snugs. The object of the snug is usually a human or another cat, but with our little weirdo, it can be anything. Case in point… Oscar has provided tons of snugs since we […]
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 #167: Kitten Blockade
Oscar doesn’t like it when we leave the house. His new routine is to fling himself in front of the door and roll on the rug when we try to open it, and I have to say it’s super effective. He does this every morning when Brian goes to work, every afternoon when Brian goes […]
KPotD #166: Extra Ultra Relaxed
This is not an action shot. He was dead asleep, hanging from the couch cushion by his back legs and snoring shamelessly. I managed to catch this from my spot on the loveseat because of course he woke up and moved the second I did. I bought an inner tube with a mesh center so […]
KPotD #165: Ultra Relaxed
Okay, so I resorted to another ridiculous sleeping pose, but how could I not? Look at this little fruit loop! I happened to glance over as I was working and was greeted with the ultimate sleep. He looks like he’s stabbed his ear into the couch and is using it to hang on. Dignity? None. […]
KPotD #164: Relax
And here we have yet another outtake in my eternal quest to get an action shot of Oscar, the Magical Photograph Avoidance Kitten. I was trying to sneak up and get him being psycho on the Cray Station, but his sixth sense kicked and in we got this instead. One day, I will get an […]
KPotD #163: Uncooperative
While he has a talent for being cute, Oscar has an even greater talent for avoiding photographic evidence of his cuteness. I’ve figured out that he has to be distracted or asleep before I can get the really good shots, because if he sees a phone pointed at him, it’s over. Look at this little […]
KPotD #162: Shoe Kitten
Since we first brought him home from the shelter, Oscar has loved Brian’s shoes. He snugs them, he wrestles with them, and he stores his toys in them. He seems especially fond of slippers for storage and wrestling. Earlier this evening, he decided he loves Brian’s sandals as well. I got up to do the […]
KPotD #161: Stolen Seat
The brothers switched time slots tonight with Nutter taking the prized post-dinner snug, but then they surprised me. They teamed up while I was doing the dishes and I came back to find this. Nutter stole my seat to bathe and Oscar hopped up to help him. This is an unprecedented snug on Nutter’s part […]
KPotD #160: After Dinner
Lately, after dinner has been the prime snuggle time for Oscar and his orange older brother. They’ve been taking turns today, so Nutter had the pre-dinner time slot and Oscar took the post-dinner. This position did not look remotely comfortable to us. He apparently loved it because he stayed that way for well over an […]
KPotD #159: Hair Sharing
Oscar has assumed his usual position for our Saturday stream (an Elite VR extravaganza!), but with additional flair. He’s got his paw resting in my hair. He looks like he was crawling across the top of the loveseat and passed out before he got to me, which is possible considering how much he rampaged across […]
