Looks like Cid's found the PURRfect cool private space with a view...: Gizmo; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:13 AM

Who is this behind the curtain? Paw-lonius?: Aubrey; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:13 AM

they look almost edible. like almond roca. or cookies.: bearlet; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:15 AM

Heavens, Aubrey! You have a gift ... Made me blow coffee out my nose. Lovely kiddeh-hands in the pic. Makes me want to see the rest of the kiddeh. Ah, mystery ...: CatFreak; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:17 AM

The paws ! I can never resist a good paw. Ballou is surprisingly patient about letting me play with them. Great photo.: AuntLisa; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:21 AM

"You can't seeeee meeeee....": TheLuna; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:22 AM

[coaxing] Here, kitty kitty kitty. Nice paws, now c'mon out and show us some cattitude. Thaaat's right ... come on out ... I'm friendly ...: Squee-Bang-Eeee!!!; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:24 AM

oo. they are velvety and tiger striped!: Grace; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:24 AM

Gives me paws for thought.: The Honourable Gladys Anstruther; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:27 AM

Let us all 'paws' for a moment of cuteness... These feet look like the feet of my kitty (except she is normally in the bathtub, not behind a curtain)!: Jay Fry; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:33 AM

Pay no attention to the kitty behind the curtain! ;-): Jay Fry; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:34 AM

Such beautiful brown paws! Here's my kitty's paw: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zmustapha/212604397/: nycat; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:42 AM

Oh noes! THOSE AREN'T REALLY PAWS! Look behind you!!!111! Don't be taken in by the decoy fake paws (imagine them ending at the elbows with popsicle sticks and felt sticking out on the ends) becuase the cat is using them to DISTRACT you while he sneaks up behind you and... AERIAL ATTACK! Rowr!: Sarcasta; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:43 AM

Cid looks like he's playing at being the feline version of "Thing" from the Addams Family. Ozz, a cat I had before I got married, would hide like this (behind curtains, under chairs, etc.) whenever he wanted to play 'cat-boxing', otherwise known as 'swat-the-hand'.: Mad_Mike; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:46 AM

Is that it? Where's the rest of the cat? Oh no...: Donna; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:47 AM

I think there's a good reason why the word "pwned" shares so many letters with "pawed".: Laurie C; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:48 AM

nycat, awesome pics! thanks for sharing.: Account Deleted; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:50 AM

So beyond cute!!! It's just TOO MUCH!!! Thanks for making my day, Meg!: cg-c; | Aug 18, 2006 at 10:50 AM

He's gonna have coooold little pawsicles if he keeps them over that AC vent.: Lizzy; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:01 AM

If they are on the AC vent, are these the paws that refresh(es)?: Tony James; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:06 AM

awww the kiddeh-on-da-windowsill trick. Mine's a fan. Sittin' in the sun, sleepin. so cute. must snorgle.: miette; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:06 AM

Just paws! Aww.: A thinker; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:15 AM

Amber does the "kiddeh on the windowsill" thing. That way, she can police the entire street and let us know if anything she disapproves of is afoot (e.g. someone walking a ... *DOG*!) We don't have AC (live near enough to the beach that we don't need it), so she sits (or lies, sleeping) on the sill of the open window and le-e-e-eans on the screen. It's all bulged out and torn in places, thanks to 17 years of that behavior. Looks grotty; doesn't keep the flies out; we can't bring ourselves to fix it yet 'cause it's cute.: CatFreak; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:15 AM

CatFreak: hope she doesn't fall out one of these days when the screen gives way. That happened to a friend's cat (three stories up). He was fine but *very* sore in the hind end for a few days.: A thinker; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:19 AM

You good little kitten, You washed your mittens, And you shall have some pie.: lauowolf; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:21 AM

thinker, I had that happen with a mostly feral foster kitten, froma second story window (not a boxcar cat, this was a few years ago). She was afraid of people, didn't know her name, and certainly wouldn't come when called. We only located her by papering the neighborhood with flyers ASAP, then one man opened his curtains from his second-story bedroom, and saw her up a tree, very scared. Luckily, she only had a scratch on her nose.: Laurie C; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:22 AM

Are these "PAWpsicles"?: g-lo; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:25 AM

TJ: Possibly, but there is danger here too. We must do what we can to purr-vent any sudden blast of cool air. It made MMonroe famous, but I think it would cheese off any self-respecting cat!: Aubrey; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:25 AM

ultimate chunkster paws. I wanna hold them in my palm.: jaypo; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:26 AM

i want to give those paws a firm handshake.: inster; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:29 AM

Such sweet cat feet! My furry princes, MacDuff and Samson, won't let anyone touch their royal little paws.: Annie D.; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:32 AM

Isn't it interesting how the pawpaw fruit has kitty claw shapes inside it: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/ksu-pawpaw/lengthwisefruit.jpeg: jaypo; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:34 AM

"Who is this behind the curtain? Paw-lonius?" HAHAHA! Am I the only one who got that? >^_^<: Erm; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:42 AM

Good Lord, what a clever bunch of peeps. Who knew about the pawpaw fruit?? Thanks, Jaypo, for the Continuing Ed class. I loves me the kittypaws and none of my kittehs will let me play. And Boober's got the cutest big ol' snowshoe-with-tufts-of-fur feets, too. (sulks): hrh.squeak; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:49 AM

Lauri C: that must have been scary. Good thing you found her... My friend's cat was an indoor cat who never went outside. He very cleverly crept to his own backyard through the alleyway from the front of the house, and hid in the shed, where he was finally found after a long search, very traumatized. Poor catty.: A thinker; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:57 AM

DARNIT Jay Fry beat me to the Wizard of Oz quote!: Jenne; | Aug 18, 2006 at 11:58 AM

Sincere thanks for the heads-up about cats falling out of windows! It's something every cat lover should know. But in our case, if the screen gave way, Amber-kiddeh-in-the-window would fall about two feet, into a nest of mashed-down long grass where she likes to sleep anyway. I wouldn't let a cat do "kiddeh-in-an-open-window" except on the ground floor. (Yes, I know ... she's indoor/outdoor and that's bad, especially at her age and with her terminal kidney disease. But long ago we made the mental-health vs. physical-safety tradeoff. Indoor-only works very well for a lot of cats, but not for this one. She gets depressed and whiny if she can't lie out on the walk and let the sun cook her fur now and then. She is also the worst hunter in the entire world (has caught two things in her entire life, and made my husband finish them off for her, once they were mortally wounded), so it's not like she's depleting local populations of anything except cans of Hill's K/D.: CatFreak; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:04 PM

Nope, Erm, I got the "Paw-lonius/curtain" thing, too. And it made me forcibly expel coffee out my nasal passages. (For victims of the past one or two decades of U.S. public education: It's from Shakespeare's "Hamlet". A character named Polonius is killed, hiding behind a curtain. So not only is Aubrey funny, Aubrey is all classy-like and edumacated!): CatFreak; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:08 PM

Mighty CO peeps, I'm off cottaging for the weekend, where there will be no cats, only chipmunks. I will feed them many peanuts and watch them closely through the binocs from the deck (if I can't lure them over). Have good weekends, all y'all.: Laurie C; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:13 PM

There was a study a while ago conducted (I think) by a vet in NYC, which found that cats suffering from High Rise Cat Syndrome were more likely to survive falls of 9 storeys or more than cats who fell shorter distances. One can only surmise that they were flinging cats out of various windows in apartment buildings and cat-aloguing the results.: Tony James; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:25 PM

"Paw-lonius" yes, I'm there alright! And with the curtains even--who knows what may have inspired the Bard...meaning Aubrey, of course.: jaypo; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:45 PM

Byeee, Laurie Cee. We'll miss you.: jaypo; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:46 PM

TJ- I'm SURE the results were a statistical analysis of accidents and NOT experimentally based. Well, almost sure. Anyway, otherwise it would be a cat-astrophe.: lauowolf; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:46 PM

Mmm, this kitty's all toasty and warm, I'll bet.: zelda; | Aug 18, 2006 at 12:53 PM

Hahahaha....TJ, the paws that refreshes! And edumacated...loves doze wordz. El Cid has very handsome feets!: Lauri; | Aug 18, 2006 at 01:01 PM

Laurie C...! No!! Altoids! Feed them Altoids! - and we want video!! *snort*: Jenne; | Aug 18, 2006 at 01:07 PM

TJ and Lau, the results of the experiment make sense if you consider that the *higher* the altitude a cat falls from, the *higher* the likelihood of the cat being able to land on her feets. /science //isn't she wonderful?: mariser; | Aug 18, 2006 at 01:13 PM

Mariser - it makes sense, but I'm curious as to whether the evidence is anecdotal or whether there were experiments conducted to determine this. "April 14 - test subject: Fluffy - 27lbs. 14th floor. No injuries detected, although subject shows signs of having briefly woken... April 15 - test subject: Fluffy - 27lbs. 24th floor. No injuries detected, although subject shows signs of getting really PO'd at this experiment." You need to keep using the same cat for control purposes.: Tony James; | Aug 18, 2006 at 01:21 PM

The paws that refreshes? >^.^<: Fish Eye no Miko; | Aug 18, 2006 at 01:23 PM

There are so many awful things that really do happen in this world, that using cats for an experiment like that wouldn't surprise me in the least. Blech.: Lauri; | Aug 18, 2006 at 01:28 PM
