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.
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!

Pardon the mistake!

Dear Sparkle,
Too bad I did not play PhotoHunt! I had a similar picture with stripey light!
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:

As you might be able to tell, I do not like posing with my human.
I like your stripes! Happy sunbathing!
Now THOSE are serious stripes!!! And they look good on you.
You look glorious as usual, Sparkle, But really, can’t the Humans lay off for just a day once in awhile and leave us to enjoy our sun puddles in peace!?
Shadow stripes…. really enhance the kitties picture. But I know they really do not like being disturbed… mine don’t. My stripes are here.
Those are some good stripes Sparkle.
My mom always calls me the orange stripey cat…but today, that’s you, Sparkle!! Enjoy your sunny stripes!

But it is a GREAT picture for the theme, Sparkle!
Oh, you fooled me. I was sure I was going to see a tabby striped cat in here somewhere! Great capture. Love the expression on that face. . .

How nice ! you could go as a zebra on Halloween !
Those stripes are quite becoming Sparkle!
We both showed striped kitties today.
You look lovely with stripes, beautiful Sparkle; enjoy the sunbeams, sweetie…Don’t pay any attention to the humans with the flashy beast=just enjoy the moment…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki
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.
Our sun puddles move with the seasons too.
I hate it when the Woman disturbs me for a photo shoot! Enjoy your sun stripes!
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.
Humans like to take photos. When you are a star you have to learn to live with the paparazzi
Sparkle, Remember to move around a bit to get a nice even furtan!
Nice stripes, Sparkle :-). How hard does it have to be for us kitties to have peaceful naps?

(pee ess: we got our bookmarks and book plates yesterday – pawsome! Thanks!)
At least the blinds just make a few stripes and don’t completely block out your sun.
It’s tough being a celebricat. Enjoy your stripey sunny spot Sparkle!
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. 🙂
We have the same problem.

love those stripes. Dat’s a tough assignment for me I’m afraid. No stripey things here.
Fabulous!
she is adorable.
That’s cool. You look like a jungle cat, camoflaged in the WILD!
awesome an very unique take on this week’s theme!
Now there is relaxation in (in)action!. You’ve got to get the sun were you can! Have a great weekend
What a clever shot! She’s trying to camouflage herself but… oh dear, you’ve managed to find her anyway =)
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.
Sun puddles are the best, but I can see your point. The striped kind might make me dizzy…
Stripes are always better when displayed on a cute kitty cat 😉
Have a lovely weekend!
Hellooooooo TIGER!!!!!!!
Wow! Definitely stripes! Nice take on the theme and I was astonish with ur creativity here. 🙂
Great shot Sparkle! You’re the best!
