I Got a Flickr

As much as I promised myself I never would — because I have web space, why not use it? — I got a flickr the other day to view some friends-only photos, and then actually uploaded some pictures today. I suck, I know. It was just too much hassle to finish off the gallery script I started writing about 12 months ago (yeah, exactly).

Rather predictably, it’s got pictures of the cats in it so far…

Furry Friday: Sleepy Kitties

The cats have had an adventurous week. Indeed, Hex nearly gave me a heart attack. Karl and I returned from work yesterday, opened the back door as usual, only to be tripped up by Fudge while Hex made a dive for it. It was a set up, I’m sure of it. Karl had to make a run for it down the garden, in the dark, chasing a black cat. Easier said than done. Thankfully he was ‘rescued’ half way down the path and peace was restored.

Fudge got up to mischief earlier on in the week, rendering a half-used toilet roll in to shreds. Never have I had a cat that is so fascinated with toilet tissue before. Of course, it’s only one of his weird habits (he likes eating burnt oven chips, too).

Anyway, picture time! Apologies for the terrible quality; I had little light, and I’m not entirely sure how the whole tweaking contrast/colours/etc bit works in GIMP yet:

As you can probably tell, they were less than impressed about being poked for a picture. They’re not keen on the cold nights at all, and spend all of their free time (i.e. whenever they’re not eating) under the radiator.

Furry Friday: Guest Furries

This week’s Furry Friday post is brought to you courtesy of my Mummy. These two fine specimens are her boys; both Siamese; Merlin is the silver seal tabby point, Billi the chocolate point. (I’m sure if I’ve got those wrong she’ll correct me in a comment… *hint hint*)

Merlin and Billi; siamese cats

Sure, they were expensive, but they’re not as gorgeous as mine… ;)

Furry Friday: Wet n Wild

I was at work today, so haven’t had chance to take any pictures of the boys, so figured I’d post this old favourite instead; back when Karl and I lived at the flat, Hex loved the bathroom sink.

The odd thing is, he doesn’t really pay any attention to any of the sinks here at the house.
