self portrait challenge ~ "with someone"


amber & me, canon digital rebel xt

Quirky things about my kitty:

She loves chewing on plastic grocery bags.

She sits up like Buddha to lick herself clean.

She only likes fresh dry food (we call it "freshies"). Any dry food that has been in her bowl for more than 24 hours is not considered good enough for her palate. So she eats the food on the top and leaves the rest underneath untouched. When she hears us say..."Amber...here's some freshies!", she comes running as we pour.

She will back her bum up to your face so you will scratch it.

She is obsessed with laser lights. She'll follow the red light all the way up to the middle of the wall.

She loves chewing on lettuce. She'll pull a lettuce leaf out of my salad bowl and crunch on it.

When we do something she doesn't like, she says "Wah!"...never "meowwww" but a short "wah".

She likes to sleep facing me with her head on my pillow laying on her side...ummm...like a human.

She loves to take her paws and pull down a whole roll of toilet paper on the bathroom floor and then chews on it so we find tiny white pieces everywhere.

She likes to watch television...especially hockey.

I have a vintage suitcase full of all colors of raffia ribbon. She likes to pull them out one by one onto the floor and lay on them.

She gets excited when our large water bottle (for drinking water) makes a "blub" sound from air going thru it when we pour. She'll get up really close and stare at the bubbles.

When I come home from a long day, she'll run into the bathroom because she knows that is where I am going.

She fits perfectly in our quirky family.

  1. Oh this is a fab photo darling.You both look so beautiful and connected.

    I sat here nodding to many of the things you listed, because my kitties like them too.

    It makes me want to go give them big hugs right now.

    Loving you
    XOXO

  2. Amber looks a lot like our little princess Zoe. And by the sounds of her diva like qualities it sounds like they share a very ‘catlike’ personality as well. Cool idea about listing the idiosyncrasies that make cats such amazing animals.

    As always your shot is very intimate and inviting. Nice work!

  8. Wow, I just sat here nodding and staring at that gorgeous photo. Amber looks and sounds just like our kitty, Nevada. She is kooky like us and we couldn't have found a more perfect cat for our little family of two at the moment. Sounds like you found the same. Great photo!
