Cat stuff

[pensnest]

My cats both have very splendid whiskers (and eyebrow whiskers). We found one that Princess Fluffykins had cast, and measured it. It was 9cm long. This seems long to me, but perhaps it is cat-normal?

Meanwhile my shy little shadow cat is quietly developing some Attitude.



She has been dunking her face in the litter tray again.

Face in the litter tray? A lifetime of cat ownership and I gotta say, that one's totally new to me. (???)

Cutie.

[pensnest]

I... yeah. I think she digs in to cover Unspeakableness over, which is thoughtful, but somehow that results in a schmutzie face—which is hilarious.

Good thing she's cute, ahaha!

[pensnest]

I don't understand why she doesn't apply herself to washing her face clean of it! She doesn't cat properly!

Wow, that's a seriously long whisker! I tried to measure Lancecat's and they don't seem to be more than at most 7cm. (He didn't want to keep still though so that's a very approximate figure :-)

Awwww, she's looking so adorably grumpy!!

[pensnest]

I can imagine that measuring attached whiskers is quite a task! There's occasionally a long white one lying around, obviously Fluffy's. Sable has long whiskers, too, and awesome eyebrow whiskers, but they are black so mostly invisible.

What a cutie!

[pensnest]

She is! She is Ignoring me right now, as they had a trip to the vet this morning to have their injections, and were also inspected (no indignities with thermometers, but the vet checked their eyes, ears and teeth).

Our tabby cats have also been the ones with the most impressive whiskers, even though they were the smallest cats. 9cm sounds about right.

Princess Fluffykins does remind me of your Weed.

That is quite impressive whiskerage! Nellcat's are pretty short -- maybe 6cm on the longest ones, maybe a bit more. She does have one that's about 2cm and curly, which is special.

Sable, honey, that's not what the litter tray is for. You weirdo. :D

[pensnest]

I think she is very determined that Stuff must be covered up—unlike Princess Fluffykins, who 'digs' on the rim of the tray in a perfunctory and entirely ineffective way!
