Spike, like all cats, whiles away his day with naps and sleeping and naps and sleeping. And of course, power napping or maybe a little light dozing. Which means he is up at night, playing, while I try to sleep. Nothing like being attacked by your own cat while you are dreaming the night away, eh?

#1 was taken with my D200 & 28-105 lens
#2-5 were taken with my Coolpix S50
#6-8 were taken with my D200 & 70-300 VR lens

P.S. I know it's cheating to throw Max in here too. :) It cracked me up the first time he shshd his sister when they got too loud.

It's always a joy to see Spike....and Max! Great shots! There's nothing quite as comfortable as a sleeping cat! Carley · 2007-06-22: 00:02
