A Cat Family Portrait

I didn’t cook today.  Not one bit.

Fritz made us whole-wheat pancakes for breakfast, we went to a farm stand for some squashes and picked some apples, then we went to a birthday party for my BFF’s mom for dinner.  Overall, fun day. 

Did you guys know that I have a very handsome cat?

Henry noticed I had the camera out and asked if I could do a quick family portrait for him–this first one is Henry and his main squeezes (can you have more than one main squeeze?):

Once he saw how great this photo was, he asked if we could get everyone involved in a shot that was a little less formal:

It was all going swimmingly until a spark plug disconnected in Henry’s brain.  Things escalated quickly.

Once Henry leaves “nice cat” land and enters his “crack cat” phase, there’s nothing you can do but wait it out.

Luckily, once he gets it all out of his system, he’s back to being the most handsome and sweet cat ever.

For a short time, at least.

    That is one photogenic cat! He looks so soft and smooshy. :-) I do think he needs a companion, though (hint, hint, orange kitten). One can never have too many cats.

    Aww he is just beautiful, i love seeing pictures of henry and just cats in general it makes me excited to get one of my own! My mum used to call the time when our cat would turn into crack cat, his mad half hour because he would be running around climbing the walls for like 30 mins and then all of a sudden he would be back on your lap purring and playing nice!
