Oliver and Earnest resting together--a lucky shot from a week or so ago.
It's not too challenging to snap a photo when kitties are caught napping.
shaking a favorite toy in their faces (only Earnest "bit"),
luring them with catnip (only Earnest was interested).
Then I got a string. Only Earnest wanted to play.
Even though posing is not their strong suit, both Earnest and Oliver are very cute. They do actually have many redeeming qualities, one of which is entertainment value. Yes, even when trying to take their portraits. (I think I'll keep them!)

I am trying to catch a few posts before we leave for Kansas! Our youngest son is going to college on a running scholarship. We are so proud!
ReplyDeleteOh I so love these precious kitties! I lost my big boy Boots March 16 2012 and I am so sad! Rose Nick's cat knows something is up! She is sleeping downstairs on a chair with a cool fan blowing her long locks! Ha Ha! She is a long hair!
Your photos are beautiful and your petd are beautiful. They are really puurrrrrrrrfect! Hugs!
You are so right! They are definitely cute! I have the worst luck photographing my pets. Bubba is afraid of the noises my camera makes so he usually runs away from me. And as for Punkie, it's so hard photographing a black cat. They always end up looking like a big blob.
ReplyDeleteReally love the kitty pics!
I know! I try to get Harry Potter during one of his cute antics and once he spies the silvery box he puts his head down and gives me this look.
ReplyDeleteHa! My Oliver is on to the sound of my camera turning on -- I have to do it in another room! Your Oliver must be like mine -- too laid back to play! Earnest looks like he's having a super time though! Love the nip all over his face!
ReplyDeletei think you got some great photos. my critters give me a lot of entertainment when i'm here working and alone for long hours. they're my co workers.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, that's our kitty secret! Don't make it easy to get photos! Our entire blog is us so let's just say that Mommy is frustrated A LOT! You boys are so handsome, you're cute just being yourself!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Angel & Isabella

Awh, buddy shots are the best! Ours don't do that too much anymore either, but it's awful cute when they do!
ReplyDeleteso sweet! keep after them. would love to see what comes next.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I miss my cat... I so agree, they are entertaining, they are always there - I love cats - damn' allergies!
ReplyDeletep.s. Earnest has got the most beautiful eyes
You really got some great photos of Ernest! Too bad Oliver wouldn't cooperate.
ReplyDeleteawww, they're adorable! better luck next time... I have the same problem.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! It was fun to "play" with them today!
ReplyDeleteSo true! It's really sweet that your kitties sleep together. Great photos as always.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! I love Earnest's mismatched eyes :)
ReplyDeleteMight be difficult, but seems you got a handle on it!
ReplyDeleteI loved that little face full of catnip!
ReplyDeletehahaha! Yep, that seems to be the way all the critter photos go! LOL - great photos - beautiful kitties!
ReplyDeletethey certainly keep you on your toes, but these pics are pawsome. You're so clever; I'm horribly jealous.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures of the kittens, they are both so cute.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your kitties! And yes - so true about taking adequate photos. I wish Sammy would "sit still", but he normally always comes up to the camera which makes for a weird shot ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet ~ both kitties! I love Earnest's eyes ~ so pretty!
ReplyDeletexo Catherine
What an inkredibly klever post!
ReplyDeleteLove your kaptures!
I think you should become a kittie portrait artist. I bet there's a demand for that!
Thanks for linking up!
