This is the reason I started taking pictures in the first place; I happened to see him facing off against a mouse. I honestly can’t tell if he’s staring down the mouse or if it’s happening the other way around.

Stare Down

Both of our cats are quite friendly. When they see someone coming towards them they usually either run up to nuzzle you or simply flop down on the ground and ask for a belly rub. This is the latter.

Cat in Repose

After a little while he took to alternating between prowling around me and sitting down looking for that inscrutable thing that only cats seem to be able to see. It took quite a while to convince him to look at the camera.

The Sphinx

Eventually I got bored and jumped up all at once. He bolted for the nearest tree and scampered up. Don’t worry though, he’s always mean to Comet, so he deserved to be chased at least once, if not more.

Up In a Tree

I love cats. Just wish I wasn’t so darn allergic.

P.S. Pets are closer to people than things in my humble opinion, so yeah.
