It is so hard to get a good picture of Sooty, so on friday I asked a friend to help


Step one: Get the attention of your pet. Here I went for the tongue in ear approach...


Step two: Try some other way to get his attention. Poking usually gets a response...


Step Three despair at his lack of enthusiasm



Step Four: Try prodding his botty



Step five: Just pretend

( It flippin hurt to lay like this. Did he care? in short. NO! )

( Look! It`s a family portrait!
)

I had to include a rare one of his furry little face



...and his HUGE feet



That is all. Cheerio!

Thank you! As far as I know he has. I`m waiting for his kitten pics to turn up then I will know for sure. I know his mum was a pure white Persian so maybe that`s what he inherited from her

Thank you! I wish I had a better picture of his feet. They really are like dinner plates

Thank you!
They`re pretty cool, huh?!

He`s a handsome boy and he knows it

It`s great to be able to do normal stuff again. Will have to go back to work soon

I know you've had hotter weather than we have down there
It has been 33 apparently but it`s pretty cool down here in the basement. He`s just being a tart!

It certainly does not! Good job too as everything now has at least 10 black hairs on.

I know! As soon as the camera comes out he closes his eyes!

He`s been sulking all day because I was babysitting and he was scared of baby!

I love the first one with the "tongue in ear" technique.
