Protective Colouring ....

Here I am blending in to my environment.

According to the dictionary:  "The most widespread form of protective colouration is called cryptic resemblance, in which various effects that supplement the similarity of colour between the animal and its surroundings enable the creature to blend into the background of its habitat."

That's me, here.

Twist and Pout ....

If this pose seems vaguely familiar, it may be because I'm doing the 'over the shoulder' look.

A lot of famous actresses use this pose because "it's a statement pose and flaunts your back, bum and shoulders. It draws attention to detail of your gown if it's backless or really ornate."

I think it works for me too.

Even though I'm in the nuddie.

Uncontrollable Urges ....

It appears I have an addiction.

To succulents.

I cannot and will not stop chewing and eating them, and no one can make me.

They taste GOOD!!!

Note the carnage in the above photo.

At some point I'll organise a slideshow of similar carnage to the other plants.

My humans say I'm just being naughty, but I think it is more than that.

One day I may end up on the street, doing anything for my next hit of cactus.

Left over chewed bits.

Memory Lapse ....

I guess I'm no different from anyone.

As I'm getting older, from time to time I seem to suffer from temporary memory lapses.

In this particular instance I appear to have forgotten how to use my cat door.

I know it will come back to me eventually.

So I'll stay here and think it over until it does.

(Even as a kitten I found the concept slightly bewildering.  My humans had to prop the flap open with a chop-stick.  Maybe I'm regressing to kittenhood and it's chop-stick time again ...)

Basking Pot Plant Style ....

You may or may not be aware that I accidentally killed off the balcony strawberry plants with my particularly astringent urine.

As I warmed to the task of turning the whole planter into an outside convenience, so my humans tried to stop me and protect the area by:

1: Giving me an alternative tray to use, complete with umbrella covering against the cold winter rain.

2:  Covering the planter containing the Strawberry plants with shade cloth.

As you can see, their planning has not been effective.

Whilst I no longer use the planter as a depository, it has now become my favourite place to sunbathe.

I simply move myself on top of the shade cloth, and my body fits in perfectly like it was made for it.

Humans 0. Me 10.

Pig in Boots ....

I know, I know, it's meant to be all about me.

But I just wanted to show you this pig.

I'd love to give him a head-butt.

(In a friendly, affectionate way).  

I wouldn't mind some boots like this either.

They could come in handy if it rains here on the weekend.

Artsy & Craftsy ....

This little dude and his puppies are all made of ..

felt!!

Amazing stuff.

And how about this Combi - Cake.

Yummy!

But this floral sandwich really looks good enough to eat.

I'm getting a bit peckish just looking at it!

What's for dinner.
