Photo Hunt: Machines

March 12, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat31 Comments

We kitties who live with humans find ourselves surrounded by machines. Some machines are for doing good, such as being part of the cat blogging community.

Hardest part? Wrestling Internet time from my human.

Other machines are pure evil. I do not recommend getting this close to one of these. They are unpredictable.

Yes, I confess I am a bit of a daredevil.

Then there are weird machines that pose as cat toys. My suggestion: if your human brings home a so-called cat toy that needs a switch to start working, stay away! Fortunately I have not seen this thing since we moved.

I thought the thing was gonna bean me!

    Sparkle: The vacuum thing. We have one of those. Does yours work? Ours kinda stays in a corner. I think it’s an ornament–just like the piano in the living room. They are dangerous–I think if they’re turned ON.

    Hey–Tommy says your human is smart to not get whipped cream covered Starbucks stuff. Less calories. Tommy says every calorie she makes settles on her hips. Humans are silly.

    That’s a scary looking so called toy! We’re not afraid of the vacuum cleaner but it is very annoying and disturbs our naps. We like the blog machine the best!

    OMC! That yellow thing looks absolutely TERRIFYING! I know enough to stay away from the Sucky Monster too. The Human tells me that one of her Kitties Who Came Before (Mr. Teeth) was so calm and laid back, he actually LIKED TO BE VACUUMED all over his belly. How crazy is THAT?

    We think you were very wise to take cover behind the chair. Who knows what that thing might do? And the Great Noisy Beast? We’re outta here!

    I have heard that the vacuum can suck up cat tails. Is it true?

    You are brave, getting so close to the vacuum cleaner! Scarlett and Melly are NOT fans of my vacuum, even though it’s really quiet.

    Me has a love hate relationship with machines. Me loves my iPad but me hates the vacuum and me loves Daddy’s remote car, but hates the ball that has feathers and rolls by itself when the switch is flicked!

    Sparkle, I have never seen a yellow mouse like that! I agree – switches on cat toys spells trouble.

    Good advice as usual… I never liked toys that chase me around either.

    LOL, Sparkle! We were given the yellow mousey thingy, too. And it was not a big hit here, either. I think it is in the attic. Maybe we should give it away. (*sigh* I couldn’t even tell the truth to the bean who gave it to us… he was sooooo excited he found it for us.)

    Sparkle, those are terrific pictures. Love the third one with you under the chair. That is hysterical. That really is a scary looking toy. We will sure tell our assistant not to get one of those. Thanks for the laugh this morning.
