Fly in a Cat’s House

Lexi’s parents are in Europe, so we’re cat sitting…

…and portrait-taking.

This is a great way to check up on your pet, assuming you have access to the blog.

We keep thinking that the Kaptain and Lexi should meet.

Lexi, take a look at this handsome fellow!

jws_9609-copy.jpg

Aww, isn’t he sweet?

Ok, maybe a diet would be in order before the first date.

And perhaps a little exercise too.

Then again, much like the Kaptain and tigers, Lexi does have a ferocious side.

Look at those teeth!

jws_9642-copy.jpg

Yeah, me and my camera were mere inches away from this.

Thank God for lens hoods.

Ok, not really. I was hiding kitty treats for her…

…which she was thoroughly enjoying finding and eating.

Likewise, Bradley and Gregory thoroughly enjoyed getting the gift certificate for the movies. And enough for popcorn too! (Lexi, you made two young men very happy.)

Now I’m just going to hang by the door and watch what Lexi does for a while, like a fly on the wall so that Matt and Alisa can see what their baby is up to while they’re away.

She’s watching cars and trucks and the mailman and…

jws_9665-copy.jpg

…BIRDIES!

Lexi is very focused on the activity outside this window.

Have fun, Lex!

    GREAT pictures Julie! The Alexi cat has never looked so good!

  4. Ellen says:

    Wow. Gorgeous pictures. (Although the ones of her baring her teeth kinda scared me.) Can’t say I ever took pix or blogged when I cat sat Alexi back when she lived in Philadelphia … but I did give her lots of treats!

  5. Nataly says:

    I can’t decide whether the first or fourth is my favorite, but I do know they are all great!!!

  6. Brother Bill says:

    Great stuff. You are so good with animals. A friend of mine needs someone to pet-sit his tarantula. Are you in?

  7. robin says:
