Fluffy Butt
Photography, Poetry | Posted by Jannie on 10 April 2012 @ 5:55 AM 45 Comments
fluffy butt
thinks she
owns this
house and
everything
in it, and
truth be told
– she most
likely does.
~~ end of poem
Somebody cute has a new napping spot — atop the placemats in the dining room.
She woke in curiosity as I took these pics, but soon went back to slumber.
Happy dVerse Poetry Open Link Tuesday!

Kitties find the most interesting places to nap. She’s adorable.

Yes they think they own every nook and cranny and they are usually right. They always find the oddest places to sleep too.

One would think we humans would know this expression by now: ‘Dogs have owners, cats have staff’
She probably thinks she is sooooo nice to allow you all to share her home. LOL I love how she is allowed to stay in her ‘new’ bed and it didn’t make you shoo her off. That’s love!

Cats own all the world, part of their heritage and family legacy perhaps.
What a beautiful bed she has.
Such a sweet thing.

Fluffy Butt, like my Keezie Motto, stops by
in his adventures, to get a bite to eat, and
some attention. Seems to be two kinds of
people out here, cat lovers, and the rest
of them. Went back and looked at last weeks
OLN39 poem, and really dug it too.

Ha! It does look like it’s a perfect fit for her.
Hugs to you, Jannie. I hope your week is going well.

Jannie, my cats are the same way. We find them all over the place, in the baby’s crib, the changing table, on the furniture and oh yeah, they love empty boxes and empty shopping bags…very nicely stated and the photos are very cute, especially the last one, I love when the cats curl up so comfortably. thanks

We’ve got a “Fluffy Butt” in this house, too. Only he has raccoon markings and prefers a card board box. Your Fluffy Butt looks quite decorative among the musical instruments.

fluffy butt probably *does* own that house
I love the warm colours in those photos (especially the first)… and do you paint as well, Jannie? – you are so talented!

Charmed at all your lovely words.

Oh Dear Ruth — Hi! Yes, my camera allowed the light to be so nice in that first shot, a camera with a mind of its own. All those paintings are done by our Kelly when she was ages 6 and 7. Not bad, eh!? Even that round “Mandala” thing was her work. I am not so much a painter, alas. just a photoshopper. and dance the highland fling when so in the mood.

Of course, she believes that. Because she does. You’ve heard that old saying… Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

Your ending reminded me of something my brother used as a retort to my mother when she’d get furious and shout something like, ‘You will go to bed, PERIOD!’. He’d then twist up his best snarky face and say ‘end of sentence’. Always smiling when you’re around, thank you!

Hi Jannie .. they are amazing how they select places with a little coziness to sleep in .. but – is that a china bowl .. smash, bang, wallop .. I can hear coming!
Fluffy butt looks mighty comfortable – if I could curl up that small I’d be happy as a bunny too .. Blue one at that .. or as a comfy cat ..
Have a great week .. it’s raining again here! Cherry bye .. xoxoxo Hilree

PAT! She amazes me.
LINDA! Agreed!
JENNIFER! Soot, oh no. Does she clean your berber, as she does herself?
CLAUDIA! THANKS!
DAYDREAMER! Just glad it wasn’t a pile of folded laundry, would not be a fan of cat hair on say, towels or dish drying cloths, yuck.
HEAVEN! Agreed, totally!
RAVENBLACK! Yes, they owned all Egypt too, and probably still do.
AUDREY! I do love my cats, birds are so awesome too.

Hi Jannie .. it’s a pet door – not a plaything door .. didn’t you tell her??!! Rain has gone – but heavy showers around somewhere .. inland, or in the Channel.
I fixed Hardwick .. I hope he lasts out .. without any extra stitching … he’s very very old .. and I’m not a good cobbler!
Cheers for now – and you would have been 8th at Lynn’s .. but my connection decided to zap out .. so I was 8th instead!! Happy week .. and well I’d quite like my rain to stay around too .. and we haven’t got any to share down here .. sorry!! Happy day ahead .. xoxox Hilree

Just like my dogs and the couches. Sneakily, over time, they just went to the dogs.
Too adorable to stop them. Just like your cat.

She knows she does! Perhaps you have met your match here… The Alpha Feline,
Haven’t seen KitKat in awhile here, he still hanging around the house? Surprized she doesn’t boot him from his perches…
Oh, n what an artsy corner there- hope she doesn’t claw the stuff.

Jannie — I love the first picture. It’s composed so well and looks like a painting, instead a photo! The color is even really cool. Mieshka looks like she’s posing….it’s really a GREAT picture. I mean it.
Don’t you love the places cats find to sleep? Aggie is riot, I find her in the funniest places. For example, one her favorite places to sleep is in my daughter’s sink. This is the daughter who lives far away and so the sink is usually dry:~) I don’t why she likes this spot except that it might feel cool to her.
Of course, I loved the poem…but that almost goes without saying. I can’t think of any of your poems I haven’t liked:~)

We have two cats, but one is too sleek to count as a Fluffy Butt, and one we do actually call “Fluffy Butt” on occasion.

She’s no fool. That’s the perfect place for her to sleep. Until she finds somewhere nicer.
