The Kat Kingdom.

I hung out with my babies - sorry, cats - in the garden over an hour yesterday, just running around, taking photos (me) and chasing bugs (them). It's been so long since I had a real outdoors photoshoot with my favorite models in the entire world, I'd almost forgotten how much the camera loves these kitties!

I truly adore my house, but on days like this one, I can't help but feel that the best part of living here is the garden. It's like the cats have their own private kingdom (which the dark demon Sotis occassionally tries his best to conquer), full of possibilites of great adventures.

Impressive how a cute and sleepy ball of fur such as Bazzie can look so dangerously scary when caught mid-yawn.

From mid-yawn to mid-jump! Queen Bii is not very fond of staying in one place for too long. (Outside, that is - when indoors, she can sleep curled up under my arm for eight hours straight.) Luckily, that makes for pretty cool levitating shots!

King Baz. Hanging out on an old canoe turned upside down. Very regal.

The first photo of the session. I was actually photographing red leaves for an article when suddenly an insanely cute face appeared in my shot.

I collect signs of fall like others do those of spring. I thought this photo turned out kind of neat - it explains with such conviction why I can't get enough of the beauty of this season.

"Hey ladies, look. See? I have huge paws. And you know what that means, right? Huge paws, huge... claws."

Bii making her scary "I'm gonna getcha"-look. Oh, do I feel bad for the poor fly getting locked in by that staring gaze. It will most likely be the last thing it sees.

Baz sunbathing, no comments necessary.

When we were finally getting bored of taking photos (me) and modelling (them), we went inside and had dinner - fish (me) and some goo that supposedly had something to do with fish (them). Then we fell asleep in front of Freaks and Geeks (all of us).

(For you are like me and can't get enough, you can find more pretty cat photos here!)
