It's time for me to admit I have a problem...

Handsome.

Casper's (estimated) birthday was Thursday. Our boy is 5 years old! He got a freshly grown batch of cat grass, which he thoroughly enjoyed

We also got him a little crinkle Lambchop toy because he loves crinkle toys. This was kind of a test because in the past he has shredded anything with catnip in it so we've avoided catnip toys, but that severely limits the toys I can get for him. I was hoping that he'd outgrown that habit so we decided to try him out with this one for the crinkles and hope for the best with the catnip. He has rolled around with it, bitten it most viciously, and licked it thoroughly, but no shredding so far

Some other miscellaneous pictures from this week. Here he is admiring the sunset the other night

And a close up in a patch of sun, and not long after a drink judging by the droplets in his chin hairs

Oh my goodness. I just love how photogenic Casper is. So, I have gotten into diamond painting lately and cats make such good subjects - Casper would make the best diamond paintings! Sorry, with the new hobby comes weird thoughts - like ooh that would be a great diamond painting.
I actually love the composition of the one with the sunset.

Haha, I get it! I often think about what kinds of molds I can get for soaps to try and make different patterns and shapes in it Not sure a Casper soap bar is as feasible as a Casper diamond painting, however

And thank you on the sunset picture! I'm really happy with how that picture turned out, myself

Your Casper pictures for the week! He, of course, is a cardboard connoisseur and only accepts the finest of boxes for sitting in

...Even if said box is not in the most ideal orientation

A... subtle hint that he might like to come in the room. (Don't mind the state of the door. Many years of having various dogs with little patience for waiting on the door to open has done its damage )

Another box in less than ideal orientation, but he seems pretty pleased with himself anyway

And... directly above me in the window again like a loon

I kept trying to figure out why the "mouse" was all curled up.

Our windowsills look like that because one of our dogs thinks she needs to alert at anyone who pulls into the driveway.

Busy week, so just a few shots of our boy to share.

I suspect he figured out where my warming pad was under my blanket

I managed to get this beautiful close up of him accidentally as he was debating whether to leap to the upper window or not.

And... Ah, to be a fluffy cat in a beam of sunlight with one's own warming pad to snooze on (Safely set to low and insulated beneath the blanket to prevent incidents, for the record... Can you believe some people think he's spoiled? )

FYI - If you can't spoil 'em. it's no fun havin' em!

My philosophy is that one can only 'spoil' someone if they don't deserve the treatment they receive... Since Casper clearly does deserve all the pampering and treats he gets--and then some!--obviously that means he's not spoiled at all.
