What could be more banal than pictures of someone's cat? Well, mine happens
to be really adorable. And there are pictures of other animals
here too: a dog, an elephant, a lizard, some birds...
|
|
|
|
Bella eyeing my plant hungrily...
|
|
|
|
|
Lounging on my desk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sprawled out on the floor.
|
|
|
|
|
It's a hard life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Look at the camera, Bella", says Marc.
|
|
|
|
|
My foot makes its appearance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And it sure is tasty...
|
|
|
|
|
"Don't bother me, I'm sleeping," says Bella.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What cat can resist jumping into an empty hamper?
|
|
|
|
|
Since this is a page about animals – not just Bella – I've included some pictures from a trip to the San Diego Zoo. Here Lizard, Lizard, Lizard!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some colorful birds.
|
|
|
|
|
An elephant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, Bella was very unhappy that I left her alone for the weekend to go the San Diego Zoo.
|
|
|
|
|
My apartment did not look like this when I left!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doesn't she seem proud of her mess?
|
|
|
|
|
Bella having a tasty drink.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now she's soundly asleep.
|
|
|
|
|
It's a hard life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bookshelf is something interesting to leap onto....
|
|
|
|
|
...and off of.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Someone needs a belly rub!
|
|
|
|
|
Bella, the couch potato cat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"72 channels and nothing to choose from," says Bella!
|
|
|
|
|
On a hot day, a cold sink becomes a favorite resting spot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bathtub too.
|
|
|
|
|
A classic pose for the camera.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Marc's First Law of Feline Behavior: if a cat can physically fit into any given spot in an apartment, then you will eventually find the cat in that spot.
|
|
|
|
|
What's the saying about the cat in the bag?
|
|
|
|
|
|
"This computer is mine!"
|
|
|
|
|
"You spend way too much time looking at this thing instead of playing with me!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just think of all that cat hair now clogging now the keyboard of my laptop.
|
|
|
|
|
Bella and Teddy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't they both look content?
|
|
|
|
|
Bella, about to pounce.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's Chachi, the world's cutest Pomeranian!
|
|
|
|
|
Dogs sleep nearly as much as cats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not a care in the world.
|
|
|
|
|
While Bella and Chachi will sometimes share the same bed, they won't readily cuddle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chachi eating some cat food. (Bella is none too happy about this....)
|
|
|
|
|
Bella and Chachi, helping with the shopping decisions....
|
|
|
|
|
|
A closeup of a truly content kitty.
|
|
|
|
|
There she is, in the hamper again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And there she is, sleeping again.
|
|
|
|
|
Chachi, the co-pilot on every trip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
While I was in Japan, Aster would often let me watch Bella on her webcam.
|
|
|
|
|
Another closeup of a truly content kitty.
