He Makes Me Smile

He just makes me smile.

I love his long, expressive tail...

His cute little orange paws...

And his speckly nose.

I love the way he plays ...

...and I adore his curiosity! (Most of the time!)

And I love to watch him sleep. (As you can see from the blog banner!)

He's reasonably self-sufficient (apart from lacking opposible thumbs)

He's very good at helping with household tasks, like the laundry...

And he even has a trick or two up his sleeve!

He's very fashionable, and reasonably tolerant of silliness...

...and we have wonderful chats! (He is a bit of a nag!)

I love watching him "be."

He simply makes me smile.

And really, isn't that the best feature of all?

And, given as it's St. Patrick's Day, with pots of gold, rainbows and such, let me give a quick remembrance to our angel-boy Stimpy, waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love, always!

  2. Wonderful pictures! Sure looks like there's a calendar in that cat's future (or maybe he's already been there, done that?)

    Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  4. He makes me smile too! And his name, for a guy, makes me smile. And I never noticed that adorable nose before.

  5. I never noticed his nose before either. I could spend all day watching my cat, for all the same reasons as yours. Its better than watching a newborn baby! (Almost, maybe, equal to)

  6. Ooo, I like Anno's calendar idea. Just warm and wonderful these portraits are, showing many sides of your lovey. And yes, cheers to Stimpy too.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day a day late. Could you believe all the green shirts on campus yesterday? I guess the weather helped them get in the mood.

  10. Animals are always a very good motive to take pictures...I know that from our years with Ronja...I loved to take photos of her and she was keen to be a good model....Sometimes she was annoyed by the flash of my camera, then she closed her eyes and looked away....
    Gipsy is a very pretty cat!!!
    What does St. Patrick`s Day mean?? What is it for??
    Best wishes

  12. What a lovely post, your sweet angel boy is a distant cousin to my own marmalade man, Georgie. They are the best, those marmalades.

  13. Your post is so wonderful it made me stop for a minute and go play with Miss Dixie ~ she's such a sweet and patient kitty, and looks at me with such longing when I've been at the computer all day. I don't understand "dog people" who say the kitties don't have personalities or aren't capable of faithfulness and love.

    Dixie sends a "hi" and a wave of the tail to Gypsy, too!
