Mrmrmrmrm….

[Editor: Ringo has picked up Sox’s sleeping habits and a few of his odd postures. Most female cats protect their stomach when they sleep.

I wonder if Ringo will change her habits as she ages. In a completely secure circumstance, Tabitha and (especially) Samantha don’t bother protecting their undersides at all, and they’re both quite old.
2 Bryan { 05.12.06 at 12:13 am }: Dot rolls on her back, but she closes up when she sleeps, and Ringo didn’t even react when the flash went off, she was really, solidly asleep. Every one is an individual.

Korats mature slowly, not being considered fully mature until they are two.

We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?…

I think it’s their way of saying “Bring It On!” to the Chihuahuas.

(and thanks for the comments ‘preview’ function!)
5 Lab Kat { 05.12.06 at 10:30 am }: *skritches belly*
6 Bryan { 05.12.06 at 1:13 pm }: See, Andante, I do requests.

Yes, even in the yard, the toms will spend time on their backs, but the ladies usually have more decorum.

Not advised, LK. Take my word for it, very bad idea with Ringo.
7 The CultureGhost { 05.12.06 at 3:41 pm }: It’s a Slinky with fur.
8 Bryan { 05.12.06 at 7:04 pm }: I thought it looked like a horizontal version of a background dancer on a music video.
9 Laura Lee Donoho { 05.13.06 at 10:13 am }: What a scene of perfect relaxation. I love your cat’s color.
10 Bryan { 05.13.06 at 10:44 am }: Thank you. The “blue” of the korats is a big draw to the breed.
11 Laura Lee Donoho { 05.13.06 at 10:55 am }: Such a silky looking coat.
12 Bryan { 05.13.06 at 12:52 pm }: Oh, it is. They are a single coat breed and it feels quite similar to velvet.

Abbé Arnaud-Amaury of Citeaux

"Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen."

Heinrich Heine

"Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему."

Толстой Лев Николаевич

"A person who has a cat by the tail knows a whole lot more about cats than someone who has just read about them."

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Sir Terry Pratchett
