I recently noticed something funny. Cats seem to prefer their own colours. For instance, one of them, who is orange, absolutely loves the colour orange. It doesn't look that great to me, but she insists on lying on a surface that clashes the most with her own colour. Pink (and similar shades) are ok too, as far as she's concerned. I keep wanting her to lie (read pose) on something white, grey, blue or green. No such luck. Besides, getting her to pose for the camera (read lie still for a few seconds at a time) is more or less impossible.

Another of my cats - grey this time - adores (you guessed it) the colour grey. In this case, I wouldn't say that grey clashes with grey, but in my book, another colour, like white, red, blue and so on, would look a lot prettier. That is if I ever got her to stay in one place long enough for me to get a few pictures of her.

Oh, well, I'll have to commit the images to memory and maybe, once in a while, I'll be able to snap a few shots of them before they take off...

(I know this is old, but it's so funny, I can't help post it again.)

When I get up in the morning, my cat likes to sleep in. He loves the warmth and comfort. Sometimes he even manages to burrow under the covers, and lies with his head on my pillow. Not when I'm there, but any time during the day. It's at night he gets active.

The funny thing is that he's a longhair. I've found that the longhairs are usually more into warmth than the shorthairs. You'd think it would be the other way around, but I guess the shorthairs are more active and can't be bothered to sleep in, like the longhairs.

When I'm really tired but have to get up anyway, I love to see my cat staying in bed, getting a little more sleep than me. :)
