Moose and Dudo assumed I was looking for them. Moose jumped to the top of their indoor tree, curled coyly on his back for a cuddle, and then gave me his best profile.
After paying the appropriate homage, I headed to the terrace. Dudo saw the camera and assumed I was there for him. So he jumped on their outdoor tree for HIS close-up. I gave up completely when Moose followed seconds later. It IS all about them, anyway.

| MOOSE: "I'M IRRESISTIBLE, HUH?" |

| DUDO: "HOW'S THIS ANGLE? IGNORE THE CROWN OF THORNS IN THE BACKGROUND." |
 |
| BOTH: "WHAT ELSE COULD POSSIBLY BE OF INTEREST OUT HERE?!?" (IT COULDN'T BE THE FLAME VINE BEGINNING TO CLIMB THE TRELLIS?) |
They do know how to "Strike A Pose;" Madonna be damned!

DeleteIn That first shot Moose is giving new meaning to "Glamour Puss."
Bob:
DeleteThat Moose pose was after he had done every kind of "adorable" contortion. I cuddled and praised him and then picked up the camera. He becomes much more glamorous (and indifferent) when he sees the camera.
Wow, they are two very photogenic cats!
ReplyDeleteCat Lover:
DeleteI suppose it's inevitable when you're that good-looking!
Awwww :))
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm enjoying the new color scheme :)
Judy:
DeleteThanks. I also widened the format so I could share a larger standard photo size (so you don't always have to click for enlargements... except sometimes, like my next post...)
awwwwwwwwwwww, sweet puddy tats!
ReplyDeleteis that your mom and dad in the first pix behind moose, or SG's parents?
anne marie:
DeleteYep, that's my parents at my aunt and uncle's wedding in 1946, the year before their own wedding. They were 19 and 20!
Buddy is much the same, if I try and do anything within his zone (2 feet off the floor or 2 feet off the bed) he has to get his nose right in it. Yesterday he "supervised" me cleaning house. Your furry kids are so bloody cute!
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteI spend a lot of my day singing, "Me and My Shadow." And I love it... usually.
As Gloria Swanson said in "Sunset Boulevard", your cats seem to be saying, "I'm ready for my close-up."
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteDudo poses. Moose tends to turn away. Every so often he cooperates, but never for long.
You're just a paparazzo to their Diva Movie Star selves!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteDudo loves the camera. Moose usually gets annoyed.
I hope they appreciate how hard you and SG have worked to create the best backdrop for their photogenic kitty selves.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteThey do. They know it's all done for them.
Awww I love your cats! They have the most amazing eyes. Glad i got to meet them... give them kisses from me, and hugs for you and Geraldo!
ReplyDeleteKnatolee:
DeleteWish you had gotten to spend more time getting to know them. They would have loved that! And we all say thanks for the hugs!
Well, they ARE beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRozzie:
DeleteYes, just ask them.
These are frame-worthy pics. I knew they were both handsome kitties but not to THIS extent! Lovely beyond measure.
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteI think they're stunning, but then I'm biased.
They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteYep, they are cute and in charge.
How can I ignore that beautiful Crown of Thorns....as I glance over at our itsy bitsy one!! lol
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Moose's 'mask'.....like Batman's! And Dudo's has 'Robin's '.
Jim:
DeleteAt first glance people can't tell Dudo and Moose apart but on a secon look you realize how different their markings are. Jerry planted two tubs of little crown of thorns. They are thriving.
I've said it before: what would we do without them crazy cats?
ReplyDeletespo:
DeleteThese two are our shadows. With us not working they have grown up expecting us to always be around. So much love.
