hehehehe, I don't think mum has a picture of me being inelegant. First I take a good picture, second I try not to get caught if a do make a bad move.
Mum is certainly looking forward to the weekend. She worked furry long on yesterday, said something about an issue with China. So she didn't do much tonight but just watch a little TV and look at the mail. I tried to make her feel better. Lots of snuggles. So one more work day for her until the weekend. Yippee for all of us.
Ooopsss. I forgot to remind mum to post a Flower Friday. So I made her turn on the puter first thing and pick us a flower.
Mum thinks the purple flower is a Campanula. That is all, Happy Friday!
Derby, look how handsome you are in that photo and how very graceful you are with your paws crossed all nice.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Mr. Chen & Ollie
p.s. Hope you Mommy's work eases up a bit.
I love your crossed paws - very elegant!
ReplyDeleteWishes for quality rest time for you and your Mum this weekend!
You are always such an elegant kitty. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteAll you need is a white tie and tux.

You really can strike a handsome pose Derby! You paws crossed like that is quite sophisticated!

Ah Derby, you are so lucky that your kind human avoids those inelegant photos. Mine lives to snap them. Put up your leg for a bath and snap snap snap... Sigh.
ReplyDeleteOf course such things ARE intentional but still..
You look very handsome in yore pikshur with yore paws crossed. Mom says that has a huge "awwww" factor, whatever that is. We hope you and yer mom haff a nice weekend and get lotsa rest.
ReplyDeleteI think you should be a spokescat for something, Derby. You could make millions selling stuff!
ReplyDeleteAmen to Friday!!
Oh yes, I agree Derby, you always take very elegant pictures! I have been caught by the flashy box several times in a less than elegant pose - I'm bribing Mum not to post them!
ReplyDeleteI too like the way your cute little paws are crossed - you are very handsome indeed.
You are so handsome Derby, what a lovely manly pose!
ReplyDeleteLovey flora growing in your garden too!
happy week-end dear friend
Hey Derby, I'm allowed to blog again! Thanks for your concern about my whereabouts - I've been SOOO neglected!
ReplyDeleteNice flower - we have some campanulas the same colour as that.
Derby,
ReplyDeletethat is a very nice picture of you! The flower is very pretty too.
thanks for your pawsitive thoughts for Conner!
Dear Derby,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your graceful photo and lovely flower.
Happy weekend to you as well.
You are very photogenic Derby. Mom just loves how you have your paws posed in your picture. That purple flower is very pretty. As you can tell by my blog my Mom likes flowers too.

Those crossed tosies are precious. What is the stuff outside the window there? Leaves?
ReplyDeleteWe wouldn't let momma post a Flower Friday cuz we had too much to say about the awful camping trip.

That purple flower is ALMOST as gorgeous as you are, Derby ... ALMOST.
ReplyDeleteDMM
You do indeed look very elegant in that picture, Derby.
ReplyDeleteI think your pose was very elegant. My dear, new friend, I have been tagged for a meme from Marilyn Monreow, and therefore it is my duty to find someone to tag. So I tag you. Please go to my site and see what you have to do...
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice picture. Ernest is often inelegant. I'm glad that the link to the cat house worked... too bad the site seems under a bit of construction. Normally you can see more of the house!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your mum has been working so hard. I hope she doesn't have to work over the weekend! That's the worst!
Right, the issue with China? Well, is it anything to do with the cats who want to take back Siam? Cos I may be able to help if it is. I mean, why stop at Siam when we could have china, then Japan, my, the possibilities are endless ...
ReplyDeleteDerby, you has grate manners, wif yur paws crossed like that. An that's a furry purty flower. Mom played in the dirt today; I saw her put plants in holes, then take them out again an put ofur plants in the wholes. Isn't that weird?
ReplyDeleteMom: Actually, I wasn't thinking and put the Petunias in the shade, where I meant to plant the other plants. So I had to dig them up again and move them to the sun. Duh!
You are certainly an elegant kitty, Derby!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a Campanula glomerata. There is a picture of one here: http://www.bluestoneperennials.com/b/bp/CAGAS.html
And that looks like Snow-on-the-Mountain next to it.
