Day 62/365: Caturday: Mostly spent snuggled in blankets

[nanila]

Telstar had a very busy week. Here is a sample of his daily routine.


He guarded the stairs.


He looked disdainful about his humans pulling silly selfie faces.


He guarded the stairs some more.

An exhausting schedule.

A friend's old cat, often referred to as "the Spawn of Satan", used to guard the stairs a lot, waiting for their other cat. Whenever poor Suzy passed by below, Addy would lean over the edge of the stairs and whack her across the back of the head.

Like I said, "the Spawn of Satan".

I'm sure Telstar is a much more mannerly cat.

[wordweaverlynn]

My late lamented Gabriel (see icon) was also known as the Spawn of Satan, but mostly because when I first brought her home she didn't understand about litter boxes. (She was a feral kitten.) Also, she did to paper towels what many cats do to rolls of toilet paper.

[davidgillon]

That is an interestingly coloured cat!

[nanila]

Usually he is, but he cannot resist the edges of dressing gowns and sometimes gets dragged along the landing by a snagged claw.

[hilarita]

He seems a very efficient stair guard!

[nanila]

Oh yes. And it is exhausting watching us go up and down, up and down, I mean really, why?!

[kotturinn]

Some good catting goong on there.

[nanila]

Definitely. He is an excellent cat.

[gwendraith]

Excellent stair guarder! Btw, I love your icon :)

[nanila]

Heh, thanks! It seemed appropriate. :)

[omnipotent]

Step = throne

Humans = subjects to look at disdainfully

Telstar is quite good at his job, LOL.

[nanila]

I like how he always manages to give the impressions he's looking down on us even when he's not actually physically above us.

[silveradept]

A clearly demanding and exhausting schedule for Telstar, supervising and disdaining that much.

[nanila]

He requires many naps in warm, comfortable spots around the house.

[ironed_orchid]

Guarding the stairs is an important and sometimes dangerous job.

[nanila]

Especially when you get overexcited about your wriggling about on the landing and end up flipping down the stairs. Not that this has ever happened to Telstar, of course. -.-

[ironed_orchid]

Or, as I say to Mason almost daily, "If you trip me and I break my legs, who's going to feed you?"

[st_aurafina]

He has a wonderful lofty expression! Maybe it's the stripe down his nose? (Maybe it's his general superiority?)

[nanila]

I think you're right about the stripe. The point where it nips in and becomes almost invisible forms a perfect V with the midline of his eyes when they're narrowed.

[cmcmck]

It's a hard life, but someone has to do it! :o)

[nanila]

He does it with aplomb. :)

[lurkingcat]

My goodness that is a very busy schedule. Kheldar says to remind Telstar that a well-rested cat is an efficient cat.

[nanila]

Telstar thanks Kheldar for the timely reminder, and is off to have his seventh nap of the day.

[attimes_bracing]

Nelson tried to eat his first snow...

[nanila]

Oh, bless him. How did he like it?

[attimes_bracing]

Nelson" Blurp" Looks at me with wide eyes. This is his response to everything. There's not much going on between the ears.

[ayebydan]

So


you got in his way a lot


I get you kitty. I get you :P

[nanila]

We do get in his way a lot! He doesn't understand why we must incessantly be going up and down the stairs all day.

[cesy]

Well done, Telstar!

[nanila]

He has more than earned his gooshy food in stair-guarding vigilance.
