Shame they didn’t get the belly in the shot, would have been too much, for sure!

This could be Dinah, Alice’s cat, dreaming up a magical fantasy story, like she did.

long-time lurker and absolute fan of the site! I loved that Sunday SF Chron article with Meg in it a few weekends ago…I thought, HEY I KNOW her!…sorta!

I think of kitty as saying bashfully…”purrrrawwwwwr, yoo are too kind weeth your compleeements, purrawr purrawr”

21 arbed 04.21.06 at 5:05 pm

The two paws really make the photo. I have a all-black cat and it is indeed hard to get a decent shot.

22 Rafael 04.21.06 at 5:09 pm

As an owner of 2 black kitties, and an ex-cat hater: AWWWHWWWWHWWWW!!!

49 Svenster 04.22.06 at 8:36 am

OMG, a kitten in LICORICE PYJAMAS! That is just the cutest thing ever. I reckon if you kiss him veeery gently on the head, he might not wake up. =)
*whispering* Sweet snassing little one.

50 Carlisa 04.22.06 at 12:07 pm

Wow…so black, it’s blue!

51 Merrell 04.22.06 at 11:06 pm

AWWWWWWWWWW. What sweeeeetness. Da wee itty bitty sweetie bitty kitty!!

52 Hammy 04.22.06 at 11:34 pm

Blue kittens? I want one!

53 Carolyn J. 04.23.06 at 4:20 pm

The only way to properly photograph a black cat is on a light background in strong sunlight, without a flash. Now YOU try to get your black cat to sit still under those conditions! Good Luck!

54 snm 04.23.06 at 5:31 pm

it looks dead

55 Theo 04.23.06 at 6:23 pm

Carolyn J — are you kidding? You’re describing the classic Solar Cat Coma. A black cat will TRACK a sunbeam across a wood floor all day. In fact, if you could somehow harness your Solar Kitty to a wagon full of potted clematis, they’d flourish.

56 luvzez fwuffy sweet anemules! 04.23.06 at 7:18 pm

nyeahahahaha! he to cute (long u) [to is so but its cuter this way]

57 little miao 04.24.06 at 12:27 am

he’s so cute, he makes me miss my black kitty back home… except mine is very tubby now (in a majestic sort of way)

58 foxinator 04.25.06 at 8:42 pm

I like to refer to that position as Tyrannosaurus Kitty.
