This is my daily (and nightly) perch — on the pull-out platform of the desk in my office. One of my most important duties is supervising my human and this is the best place to do it. I can look over her shoulder to make sure she isn’t slacking off — looking at her bank account or writing about something that doesn’t involve me. Keeping my Twitter and Facebook accounts updated is way more important than paying bills and working on her own stuff. Judging from the look on my face here, she must have been doing something wrong.
This photo was actually sort of difficult to accomplish. It’s an evening shot and since my human wanted to use natural light and no flash, she had to set the camera on a tripod and use a very slow shutter speed. She also had to use the timer to keep the camera from shaking when she pushed the button. It was hard for me too because I had to sit still long enough to keep from causing a blur. I think the result is pretty nice. I might like to use it as my formal portrait. What do you think?
I spend so much time sitting up here that I often have breakfast and snacks while I work. I know you’re not supposed to eat at your desk, but when I’m on a roll, I like to keep going. Of course, sometimes the results are disastrous. You might have seen this video before, but in case you haven’t, you can see what can happen if I’m not careful.

Wow your human has captured you beautifully. It was well worth the time it took! Have a great weekend

It does look like a formal portrait. At the same time, I have the vision of Sparkle the stern teacher-supervisor… ;b
It’s a must to use a tripod during night time, but indeed your human captured it beautifully!
here’s my entry
ARRRRGGG!! Not in the trash!!! Come back kibble, come back!!
this is cute..
It is pretty nice and you exudes authority. Happy weekend.
My Daily Kitty
That’s a great picture! We’re so sorry that your yummy noms fell in the trash! We used to eat Precise but Mom hasn’t been able to find it around here. We hope she rescued your bag for you!
Sniffie and the Florida Furkids
I like the pose very much, but your eyes are not wide enough. You have gorgeous eyes, Sparkle– that and your lovely bib of fluffy fur make you a bombshell. So while I like this photo, I really love the ones where your eyes are wide open and your fluff is extended like a lion’s mane. Just my two cents. And tell your human I am quite jealous of her fabulous photography skills.
And oh dear! Did you make your human dig those treats out of the garbage can, one by one?! LOL
OH goodness you dropped the yumyums in the tumtums in the garbage…what happens next?!
Good thing you have a comfortable and accessible place to watch your human. As a human I don’t have a supervisor – except my wife of course -.
Great take on the theme.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
awww your yummy snacks fell in the trash. Hope your mommy got you a new bag
you are so adorable in your picture!
That’s a very pretty portrait photo of you Sparkle! Our human would never go to all that trouble for a photo of us – maybe that’s why we don’t have portraits. Hope you got another bag of snack since that one fell in the trash.
you look very regal in that photo, Sparkle. I’m sure you do a good job of overseeing your human
For all of you who were wondering: my human picked up the bag, but she did not fish the rest of the kibble out of the trash. She said if I was so careless, I deserved to lose some of it. Which is unfair – she was the careless one for filming me instead of making sure the bag didn’t fall.
It’s a beautiful formal portrait. You are doing a great job keeping the human in line.
Poor kitty! It must be a very traumatic experience to lose your food like that. I think an extra treat is deserved.
I think you need either a rim put on the edge of your pull-out shelf or, better yet, your human to be a little more alert and catch your food before it goes over the edge. What WAS she thinking!
I am amazed at your ability to sit so still for so long. My cat is always a blur, even in photos where I have used the flash. It shows you arre definitely a superior kitteh. (Don’t tell Benjamin I said that… Our little secret.)

Oopsie! But look at how the bag landed!! If this were the Olympics, I’d give you a “10!” The look on your face is priceless, too. Happy weekend!
That picture is good enough for a portrait. Well done Mom. Our staff is horrible at taking pictures. She would love a new camera. Ours is older than ancient. And that happens to us all the time, the noms falling off the table. Why can’t these humans figure out a way for us to have our noms. Like maybe in a bowl. Have a great Sunday.
At least you didn’t fall in after it, Sparkle.
Oh noes! Right into the trashcan! Rats!
My Mommeh is usually far too lazy to set up a tripod and get out the remote. Your portrait came out great!
Dear Sparkle,
Thank you for stopping by my human’s (Anna’s Adornments) PH-theme “daily”-post of the snow that fell off a roof and even my own PH-theme (on my jewellery-blog “Glada smycken/Happy Jewellery”) with my cat-mother Cajsa-mamma eating her daily meal.
I really like the photo portrait and admire your human’s patience as well as yours. The photo turned out well. She is a really good photographer and you are indeed a super model!
Thank you for dropping your EC-card not only on my mommy’s blog (Anna’s Adornments), but even my own cat-blog (Sara Cat writes / Sara Katt skriver) which recently joined Entrecard. I’m an “Entrecat” now.
Purrs,
Sara Cat
