    Rudolf Mew-reyev does a grand pas de chat

    (OK so that’s not what a grand pas de chat really looks like, but work with me here)

  6. Mary (the first) says:

    I love, love, love Bessie’s markings! And her “joie de vivre”!

    It’s probably fingernail polish… ask me how I know… :-(

    Am I the only one thinking “Snoopy”?

    She soars through the air with the greatest of ease,
    The dashing young cat on the flying trapeze-
    She’s stretched-out and furry and knows how to please

    I really want to know the back story behind this.

    • January says:

      Me too. Yes, very Snoopy-like.

    • Nathan Lewis says:

      Hi Kar,
      Bessie loves the feather wand. There is a little step stool leading up to the bed. If i wiggle the wand on the bed (it has a bell) she will come running from the hallway up the step stool and launch on the bed up in the air after the wand. That’s what you’re seeing here.

  19. Meaghan says:

    I love the wrist spots.

    • Berg says:

      And the tum spot too–it’s almost diamond shaped! This is one of the best photos EVER.

  20. No!! Don’t turn out the light!!!I’m afraid of the dark.

  21. Kari Callin says:

    “Catnip, take me AWAY!”

  22. victoreia says:

    She got an extra dose of pixie dust! (Must have gotten some good tuna, for that happy thought…..)

  23. Marie says:

    Spectacular!

    Joyful, fun and a little mysterious too. ;D

  24. Hyacinth says:

    “I’m walking on sunshine…oooh, oh!”
    :D

    What, no nuffing about the cruelty of tossing a cat in the air? I’m almost disappointed, ha ha.
    This is THE most awesomest picture I have ever seen today.

    • January says:

      I was thinking that there might be a disclosure that no one was hurt in the production of this photo, but this would be a mood killer.

    • Juno says:

      Doesn’t look like a tossed kitty to me. I suspect that just above the frame, there’s some kind of dangling cat toy–maybe the ‘fish pole’ type toy, ideally with a feather on the end.

      • Berg says:

        We have some action photos like this of our cat Henry from when he was young (he’s about 11 and a half now). He had this fluffy ball with pieces of foil in it, and his favorite activity was for one of us to throw that ball in the air so he could jump after it. His goal was to catch it with his front paws and put it in his mouth before he landed. It amazed me how high he could jump–and still does sometimes, although nowhere near as often as he used to.

        We got some decent shots of Henry jumping, but nothing this good. Go, Bessie, go!

  31. ScoutsMom says:

    I think this is how my little Ponyboy feels when I get out of bed after a long night’s sleep. “Yay, someone to feed me and play with me and chase me and give me lots of attention.”

  32. Juno says:

    On the right, just over the headboard: is that the shadow of kitty’s head and ears I see???

    • Juno says:

      Oh! Oh! Oh! And then between the main part of the headboard and the pole: is that the shadow of the kitty’s TAIL???

  33. tagatha says:

    I confess: this is the way I feel about my bed and getting to sleep in it after a looong day/week.
