Photo Hunt: Stripes

October 9, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat42 Comments

Those of you who stop by here fairly frequently know that it is rare for me to get a really good, solid sun puddle. Usually the sun is coming in through the wooden blinds that face the west, or as in this photo, with deep slashes of shade where the east-facing window panes’ joints are.

Are you done yet?

Then, as if trying to navigate these stripes of light and dark wasn’t trying enough, I have to deal with my human disturbing my rest even further by trying to capture the contrast in pictures. Enough already!

    Dear Sparkle,

    You look so god!
    Thanks for your kind words about my mousey-poem!

    Sparkle,

    You are absolutely gorgeous! I love reading your witty posts:).

    You should totally get your human to submit pictures of you to the Lifetime photo contest. The deadline is October 14th, so I’m trying to let all my favorite cat bloggers know before the contest ends. You can win everything from a one-year supply of cat food to cash! And cats do love to win, don’t they;)?

    You can get more details here:

    Thanks and best of luck!

    Humans can be so intrusive with their silver flashing thingamabobs. Although, your human did get a great shot and earned her stripes on this one.

    That’s awful that not only do you have to deal with striped sunpuddles, you have to deal with your human disturbing you. Doesn’t she know your are a big rock star and writer? Sheesh.

    At least the blinds just make a few stripes and don’t completely block out your sun.

    Seriously–stripes???! And I missed it???! Crap. Hobbes has stripes and lots of ’em. And they are BIG stripes–or….ahem….he is big, I should say. But these are nice “stripes” that you have too. Stripes are good on cats I think. 🙂

    How sad for you. Every cat should have a solid sun spot to lay in! You need to get your human to pull up those blinds.
