Dangling Purrticiples

 

Longing for feline companionship, mom's hand couldn't resist the urge to reach for my dangling paw.


Luxuriating in the warmth from the portable heater, the footrest provided the ideal spot for my morning comfort.  


Knowing fully well I wasn't in the mood for a picture, dad's phone ruined a perfectly relaxing moment.

Did we get these right?

Smudge, you look exceptionally beautiful when these photos. It was nice of you to hold paws with your mom for a while. It's not often we humans get to hold hands with our kitties. Of course what you don't know is your dad takes these photos for the rest of us Kitty crazy humans. So thanks for obliging.

Charlee: "All the attention can be inconvenient at times but the humans can't help it. They do worship the ground we walk on, you know. Or the ground we dangle our feet above as the case may be."

Those photos are very sweet, and you have kept your fans happy. Now you can go back to sleep.

I'll hold her hand if'n it has a treat in it. She dare not reach for mine otherwise a bandaid or two will be necessary. Apparently you are a much nicer kitty than I am ...

Smudge, that footrest looks like a perfect place to lounge! And Queen Tama sends her congratulations on the exquisite dangling!

Purrs,

Smudge, you could have kept your mom's hand there holding your warm and tempting footie if you chose to!

Those recliner footrests are quite popular

Smudge OMCs I just found your comment in SPAM, what the heck must be the leprechauns.
When you are this adorable you might as well dangling that paw at them to make them happy.
YES indeed Mom must keep a watch on Dad. I have never ever had anything like this but then I've never been older than dirt either.
Many hugs to you all
Cecilia

You are such a beauty, Smudge!

I adore this imagery. You're a blessed girl with wonderful humans.

And the literal dangling participles cracked me up:

your mom's hand longing for feline companionship
and
the footrest luxuriating in the warmth from the portable heater

Please forgive my seeming pomposity; I'm a language geek who makes a lot of typographical errors, myself. Best wishes to you and yours, my dear.

You definitely got those right, Smudge. The look on your face in the last one purrfectly conveys the description. XO

Hi new furriend! If there's a dangling paw at our house, it will surely be held by an adoring human!
Gotta say, the footrest is an admirable spot for a rest. Well done! Our Daisy wishes she had one of those.

Oh, We LOVE holding paws - er, hands - with Mummy.
Your pictures are adorable, Smudge!

Yeah. But we still hate the invisible red beam from the camera. We cant quite see it, but we know when it is there.
