Snapshot Saturday::Caturday edition

Snapshot Saturdays is hosted by Alyce of At Home with Books. Since I missed Cat Thursday, and I haven't written the FoB one, I thought I'd do a Caturday edition.

This is Roo, my youngest cat. He's a big boy so we got him a nice tall cat tower (though he could use a taller one to stretch out). But even before he got the tower, his favorite thing to do during the night is to open up the front blinds to look out. The tower just gives him a place to lounge while he opens the blinds. He is also a little bit of a terror. If you walk by him while he's there and aren't paying attention, you find at minimum your clothes stuck in his claws, if not your skin. Trick is you have to watch for the crazy tail. He lets me get away with more than anyone else in the family, since he's around me the most, and he knows I'm going to keep on pestering him. But he's mellowed out after he turned 3.5.

He does look like a pretty big cat! His antics sound like a lot of fun (as long as no one's getting clawed). :)

I've become fairly immune to the scratches, having been getting them so often over the years. Its the bites that's hurt. But he has his sweet moments too.

We figure he's a Maine Coon. He had huge feet as a kitten, and had to grow into them.

He's lovely. He looks quite a bit like Henri the french cat- check out his video on youtube if you haven't seen it. Especially the second video.

I love that last one! Always nice when you can get the cat to look at the camera.

That looks like a great perch for a curious kitty! He reminds me of the cat we had when I was a child :)
