As you may recall, my human had a birthday last Saturday. She told her boyfriend not to get her anything, but he did not listen to her. His gift was late, however — it did not get delivered until Monday. Frankly I wish it had gotten lost in the mail. Look at what it is — a new camera!
It is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V,
which is basically the latest version of the camera she has been using the most for the past couple of years. It has a bunch of new, fancy things on it, like GPS and effects that she probably won’t use much since she basically sticks to the manual function. Although there is a lot of new added stuff to the manual function too.
She has already been sticking it in my face, as you can see here.
I really wish he had given her a whole, fresh salmon instead.

Ah, I hear ya. My human is always sticking her phone in my face as well. I am never impressed

Oh noes, a new flashy box.
Happy Belated Birthday to your human!! And the camera–well, Ms. Sparkle, we’ll seen even more beautifully photos of you. I know…I know… the salmon woulda have been better–but…humans–we do have to forgive them….at times. Hope the boyfriend brought YOU something anyway!!

PS. Tommy wants to know if the boyfriend has a brother….?
better you than us, Sparkle 😉 your confession is true! tho yes, salmon trumps flashy boxes any day! it’s times like this that we’re thankful just a point and shoot is our mom’s speed when it comes to flashy boxes.

Well I’m horrified, but you sure do look lovely Sparkle!
Your mommy’s present is a present to us all cause we get to see more of you!
But Sparkle, what iffen he had given her a whole fresh salmon and she didnt remember to share it with you? That would have just caused trubble…
Our mom wants to get a new camera. But that one looks a little too advanced for her. She can only handle a point and shoot because she’s pretty lame when it comes to picture taking.
Maybe you’ll get the fishie for YOUR birthday..
*sigh* yes, those flashy boxes are nemesii (plural?) all right. (Though we must say she caught your eyes beautifully in that first picture!!
Sparkle instead of nemesis think of the camera of becoming a frienemy because it enhances even more of your modeling beauty, but at the same time it will be more of the camera face time.
Now Sparkle
That’s the kinda purrday present my Mom likes too.
In fact she has a birthday coming up soon and all she can think about is a wide angle len.
Oh just wanted to mention to you that our local tv station (NEWS4JAX) did a segment on the CR kitties. I bet it is online. Just google news4jax and the station will come up. Just in case you might be interested.

Is it water-proof? I bet it isn’t. Why don’t you pee on it and find out?
Must be something in the water (which is why I don’t drink it). Pop gave TW a camera for her birthday too tho nothing this fancy. She still hasn’t learned how to use to properly. Groan!
I don’t think you will get many naps now Sparkle!
Heheh! MOL!
Could she at least give you kitties the old one to use as a scratching post or sumfing? Wow–what a crummy present. A salmon would have been SO much nicer.
Nice gift…er, um…not for you. Our Mom likes her Canon Rebel.
LOL that looks very strong and annoying nemesis! Your mom’s boyfriend is very thoughtful, though, to get her such nice camera. He must know she really loves using it around you 🙂
sigh…..mom is about to get a new one too (hers died) but not that fancy. we just can’t win can we???
nice prezzie and you’ll sparkle in front of it
We’re with you but at least we get to see beautiful pics of you!!! Have a great weekend!!!
At least you don’t have one of those macro lenses that they stick right up close to your face and practically touch your nose (and then use the flash). I have often wondered what would happen if I grabbed the string that holds it to her and dragged it off to the litter box…
I’ve been window shopping for a “real” camera for about 6 months now. My old Minolta (film) just won’t cut it anymore, and my camera phone (Nexus S) takes awesome shots, but is limited to daytime, and still subjects. I sort of have my eye on a Canon Rebel series, but this Sony looks interesting too.
I know, I know, you don’t like cameras. But one day Sparkle, you’ll look back and appreciate the document!
That is a very nice present for your human. I am thinking that the whole salmon would have been a present for YOU not your human…..
my Mom would LOVE that….as you can see by her crappy photos, she just uses her Android phone.
Oh…we would miss seeing your pretty face if cameras disappeared! Maybe the new camera will mean less ‘posing’ and your personal assistant can get it right on the first shot, hahameow!
Will you be able to avoid all these cameras? Don’t humans understand the concept of cat privacy?

Another camera in the house? Oh Sparkle, you won’t have any peace now! We’re looking forward to the photos though!
Yes but think of how much the better all the photos of you will be! (P.S. – Disqus is acting wonky on my blog so your comment is not showing up. I’m trying to get it fixed)
Sparkle, I feel your pain. When my mom got her new camera, we didn’t get a moment’s peace! The fish *definitely* would have been a funner present!
Oh we will enjoy seeing you even MORE now. (Mom does not use the GPS function..too much info)
Oh dear Sparkle that’s a bit of a bad choice of gift from him for your Mom’s birthday. Is there any chance it could get dropped in with the trash? Of course that would have to be done by the famous Mr. Not Me.

Yikes, we feel for you, Sparkle! The mom’s thinking of yet another camera, should her dad feel like splurging when he visits in September. LOL. We hope not, because a new flashy box sure wouldn’t bode well for us.
Have “fun.”
We hear you about the salmon, Sparkle. But the humans here seem to be very excited about the camera (something about, “…we hope this means we’ll all see more of beautiful Sparkle…”).
Hugs!
Sorry Sparkle but we are excited since it means more pictures of you and those other two. It does look like a nice camera and I bet the Mom is thrilled. Have a great day.
I don’t normally like to suggest this as I try to be a fairly classy ladycat, but I do understand that cat pee is a very powerful substance…
In this case I love it when boyfriends and husbands don’t listen – LOL!!! Sparkle probably has other feelings about it 😉
Cool! That’s a wonderful present. Maybe you should raise your modeling rates…
Sorry my dear, but we’re thrilled! Even more photos of you! *happy rumbling*
