I was actually going to post a similar question, or at least some of the responses on here have been similar to what we're experiencing with our cat Peaches... She's very sweet but the ONLY time she'll voluntarily get up in our laps is when my wife or I sit down in the chair in our office... She...
thanks to all who gave suggestions... I ended up giving the Windex (ammonia free variety) a try b/c that was all that I had available, and it worked, although it completely removed the 'shine' that the table had... I then it it with a couple coats of Pledge and it got a little bit of the shine...
We're moving to DC and won't have room for our formal dining room table in our new condo (we're having to down-size dramatically due to the cost of living) so we're trying to sell it. Our kitties love sitting on top of the table and therefore it is completely covered in paw prints. I have...
I can't believe we've only had Roscoe and Peaches for 1.5 months... It seems like they've been with us much longer. They love to sleep up on the bed in our spare bedroom so I keep a camera set up in there on a tripod so I can capture a photo with no preperation... Here are some from this...
I use Avast and it's great... In the lower right of your screen, in the icon menu, there should be a blue circle with a lower case 'a'. Mouse over it, and it should say something like "Avast on-access scanner: 7 providers total, X running". Mine happens to have 6 running, the 7th provides...
Calico2222, no I'm not a professional, photography is just a (very expensive) hobby for me. Everyone once in a while I get lucky and land a freelance gig, actually I have one this Sunday, I'm going to be shooting a triathlon. I've also considered trying to get into pet photography as well but...
Here are some photos of Roscoe and Peaches chasing after and jumping for their favorite toy, a little birdie tied to one of my fishing poles (poor birdie has no feathers left haha)
It's another beautiful day in sunny Florida I'm going to do some work on my dissertation, then probably go for a nice long bike ride later this afternoon/evening.
I think I generally have more coffee in my system than blood... I agree, it's not all created equal. I buy the stuff in the supermarket that's in the big bins that you grind yourself... I think the brand name is Brothers (I shop at Publix) and I get the Vanilla Nut Cream variety. It's...
Yikes, 14 inches is a good amount of snow... Your story about getting stuck in the parking lot reminds me of a storm we had when I was in college at Missouri State in SW Missouri... It doesn't snow there too often, but occasionally they'll get a big storm that dumps a foot or more. One of those...
Roscoe and Peaches curled up on the couch after an afternoon visit to the vet for their 2nd round of shots... Their shape reminded me of the Chinese yin/yang symbol.
Well it's just the 2 of us (well 4 of us but the kitties won't be able to enjoy our munchies). I've been working on a breading recipe for fried chicken wings... I'm trying to make no-sauce hot wings. So we'll be giving those another go-round. We're also going to make a big pan of...
It is nice to use the 50mm to get photos with no flash, however I find that in order to do so I usually have to use it wide open at f1.8. That's not a problem if you're photographing ONE cat, but when photographing multiple cats the extremely shallow depth of field makes it quite difficult to...
Thanks! We think they're pretty great too...
One of my hobbies/obsessions is nature/bird photography (see website link in my signature) and thus I have built up quite an arsenal of pretty decent camera gear. Not only that, but my experiences with photographing skittish birds in the wild...
