He’s Off Again

December 10, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat29 Comments

My human’s boyfriend is off doing shows back east again. It took him so long to pack that I started to use his suitcase as a cat bed.

To be honest, it is not a very comfortable cat bed.

You may wonder why I look so annoyed in this photo, since he is pretty useless to me anyway — after all, he is the one who forgets to keep an eye on my dinner and lets Binga steal it. And he is also the reason the dog is here… actually, I am annoyed because he is not taking the dog with him.

My human, in a misguided attempt at art photography, decided to take a portrait of me while I was sitting there. She was going to call it “Still Life With Cat and Hat.” Might have worked if she had decluttered the background.

Keep on working on your composition skills.

    Too bad that ‘bed’ is going–it the color goes good with your fur!

    And don’t be too hard on your human and the declutter. Our house looks like that too. Tommy says it’s cuz she’s a creative sort and creative sorts don’t have time to sort thru junk and stuff.

    Sure.

    You certainly look annoyed – such an expressive face!

    Have you really been blogging since 2003?

    While the human is away, you can try selling his dog. Just mieowing…..nothing purrsonal against the woofie.

      Yes, I have been online for eight years, when I was just six months old – my first posts are about my arrival at my human’s.

    Sparkle – we would call that look P.O.’d. Seems you do everything very well! Send the dog outside and have a calm quiet day.

    What a pity that your female servant messed up the still life ! “Cat with a hat” is a wonderful title !

    Sparkle, you look like you HAVE a hat on…your annoyed airplane ears are so expressive. As for the clutter; that’s what Photshop is for.

    Sparkle, isn’t it good news when you human’s boyfriend leaves because that’s more space for you on the warm, comfy bed! We think any photo of you is a great work of art!

    Sparkle, maybe while the boyfriend is travelling you can send his dog on a vacation too?

    Please tell your Mom that we like that she drew whiskers and frootbats on the generic avatar snowman! We love that she personalized it for cats. We just didn’t like looking like everyother cat who commented on your blog. We puzzled and puzzled over it until we found out a Gravatar was what we needed. Have a good weekend!

    You look a little (or rather a lot if we’re truthful) peeved with the scenic background to your beautiful portrait picture Sparkle.
