Naptime for the Sisters

Doing laundry today, I found Terra sleeping in my clothes basket atop our bed while Polly lay nearby. When I came through later, Terra had moved so they could touch. I retrieved my clothes basket and enjoyed a ~squee~ moment.

I’m still not good at photographing these two and it doesn’t help that my comforter is almost all black. But they stayed in place, which I call a win.
My Cuteness Overload for the Day...


Of course, they didn’t stay completely still. Or at least Terra didn’t.

Photo Fail - Terra just had
to stretch her toes...


I have a question for others owned by housecats; do you often see kitty standing on three legs while scratching around his/her ear with a back paw? Since these girls are the only ones seen ever doing this in our home, do you think this proclivity could be genetic?

  1. They really are adorable and such sweet bed warmers. I've had cats that scratch the ear like that but not too many of them. Most of them park their butt and then scratch!

  2. Very sweet photos. I have a hard time getting shots of my black cats and my torties too. I have not seen a cat do that-it could be genetic.:) XO

  3. Snapping images of two black cats needs good lighting.
    Just know that you'll delete about 18 of every 20 pics taken.

  4. Misty does that! I thought for a bit she must have an ear but then I realized that its just a think.

  5. Totally forgot...I love them laying together and touching. The first yr of having Lily, she had to be touching Dakota when she slept.

  6. Yes, taking pictures of dark objects (or family) is a challenge. The only thing I can do to help it is to lighten it a bit in editing. It's a cheat, but what can you do?

  7. Black kitties are hard to photograph. Hopefully your kitties do not have earmites. Cats will scratch at their ears when they have mites or other infections. Yeah, mine even sometimes stand on two legs. Slinko in particular.

    1. I'm happy to say their ear scratching is rare. I dig in my ears more frequently.

      lol

      Geriatric kitty Jezebel does have aural issues, though her latest round of drops seem to have cleared it once again. Meanwhile, I imagine the two-legged pose is for other reasons, like food or play. :D

  9. Scratching around the ears can be due to ear mites, allergies, or infections.
