There are two poses that cats do that I absolutely adore, but I haven't been able to get pictures of.

One is when Toes sits up on his haunches, straight up, with his front paws relaxed in front of him and he looks like a Prairie Dog.

The other is when any cat sits on its brisket and curls its front paws under so neatly. They look so neat and tidy and comfy that I usually just have to grab them and kiss them!

Anybody have pics of these poses????? PLEASE??????

oh I dont have pictures of either of these either - but your right they are great poses!!!! hmmmm I may have one of the second as Cedar does that all the time - if I dont have one I will take one asap.

Cedar does that first pose as well - we call it our kangaroo pose


I am sure someone else will have some pictures

Robin! How'd you get them to sit still together so handsomely long enough to get a picture? I'm very impressed!!

I didn't have to do anything. That's just the way they were laying on the couch and I thought it was cute that Thomas was laying the same way as Leo. This was taken back when the kittens were 8 weeks old and I had first introduced them to Leo and Shelby. I think that Thomas thought of Leo as his "idol" and wanted to be just like him.

LOL - he does look ornery in that one, doesn't he?! Lol!
Here are some that I took just now. I was feeding them some treats and making them stand up to get 'em. The one of Petoskey with the treat just about to go in his mouth totally cracks me up! Lol!

You should send that one of Petoskey in for the Caption This contest. That's a hilarious picture.

I LOVE the second pose, too, and had been wanting to make a thread for it, but wasn't sure how to describe it - so I'm so happy you made this thread!
I just love all of the pictures, so, so cute!


Here's Meeko:

Phineas (wearing my bra, no less
) :



And last but not least, Henry:



Also, Meeko and Henry posing this way together, they'd make good bookends

These are great pics! Those tucked in paws are to die for! When Toes moves out here I'll have to try to get his Prairie Dog poses for you. He also will stretch way up and get so long from that position sometimes. I'll have to see if I can get that too.
