Photo Hunt: Hands

January 22, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat41 Comments

Here are my hands:

And I had a manicure just for you!

Okay, so I don’t have thumbs, but they still come in hand-y!

An off-handed pose.

They are good for pointing out things, like my cool facial expression in this photo:

Of course, this is from my book - you DO have a copy, don't you?

And they are very useful for grabbing treats… although I am not so sure that Pill Pockets count as treats!

I thought they tasted kind of funny.

Kitty hands are also great when you know the answer to a question that someone is asking.

Trust me, she got the answer wrong.

    Jake and Angel are so incredibly handsy! It’s especially fun when I’m trying to eat; they will reach out and try to grab my fork as it’s on its way to my mouth, or they’ll try to snag my meat off of my plate!

    I shut doors real good, but I need practice opening them. Miss Sparkle, our mom is insanely jealous of your person. She does know Kix – she knows their one huge hit from back in the day, and thanks to satellite radio and Hair Nation, she now knows a lot more of their songs and really likes the band a lot! She has heard of Rhino Bucket but hasn’t heard any of their music, but she’ll make it her mission to do so!

    Also, we just got an email that Okey’s Promise hit their goal – good job on spreading the word!

    Mommy is a paw kisser! If she saw those beautiful hands of yours and she could, she’d be kissing them. Sigh., She’s always kissing mine. She kisses the fur almost off my head!

    Very nice hands indeed. Good thing there are no opposable thumbs on them or cats would rule the world. What am I saying!!! Cats do rule the world.

      I am a Somali, which is similar to an Abyssinian, only with a fluffy tail and plusher fur.

    […] One of the first things I learned when my human brought me home all those years ago was that if I wanted treats, I had to work for them (which technically means they aren’t really treats. You shouldn’t have to earn treats!). I had to stand up and beg for them. I even had to stand up and beg for the first morsel or two of dinner! Totally not fair. Even worse, my human kept telling me, “No hands!” (Maybe I should have used this photo for last week’s Photo Hunt post). […]
