Jasmine Rocking and Rolling in the Sun

Jasmine is our rock and roll cat. This time she’s shaking, rattling and rolling in the sun. She’s all shook-up. She’s twistin’ and turnin’. She is moving and groovin’ this time.

I think it was the effect of the hot sun on her fur. Having someone around to encourage her on helped a bit too! Watch her as she rolls into the ‘cuteness of rock ‘n roll’ record books.

Jasmine on a Roll, again.

Here is Jasmine on a roll again. When she’s feeling playful she drops and rolls. She especially likes it when there is someone to play with when she’s rolling. Enjoy the pictures. You can see Jasmine’s other rolling escapes here. Stay tuned for Jasmine’s next roll…

Thumbs-up for Cat Treats

The opposable thumb is the one thing keeping our cats from getting to their treats by themselves. It’s interesting to see, from sheer determination and will, how they devise their own creative ways to get their treats out of the container.

Obviously we help them in the end. Everyone got their treats during our bi-weekly claw clipping. But it never hurts to let them try on their own. After all, they are independent creatures.

Jade and Dax used the spill approach and knocked the container to the floor to get the treats out. Ingenious, but kind of predictable. Jasmine and Spooky on the other hand had their own methods which were unsuccessful in the end but where more entertaining and unique.

I see you in there.

Dax and Jasmine as Sun-pals

We’ve been very fortunate with a long stretch of sunny weather for April and the cats have taken full advantage of it. Jasmine and Dax shared some time enjoying the Sun, nuzzling and hanging out together. It was like watching ‘Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin cats’ with no worries, no place to be and enjoying the day!

Nice sunny day, huh Jasmine?

Jasmine’s sun-lovin’ extravaganza! Part-2

Our sun-lovin’ cat came back the very next day just like clockwork. Jasmine was back again for more sun-lovin’ fun. Here she creates a dramatic shadow of her own while being surrounded with a silver-lining from an intense sunbeam.

Jasmine’s Sun-lovin’ Extravaganza! Part-1

Jasmine loves sunny days. Spooky does too, but I think Jasmine loves them more. Jasmine spends the most time sitting, rolling and lying in the sun. On a sunny day our back door is the prime spot for any sun-lovin’ cat. There is a nice big matt there that gets completely drenched in sunlight.

Jasmine has spent countless sunny afternoons there and keeps coming back for more. Here is the first of 2 series of images of our Sun-lovin’ cat Jasmine. In this series Jasmine is getting a full dose of sunlight while being surrounded with some dramatic shadows from the back door curtains. Enjoy.

Picture of the Month – March 2008

A Year of Cats - Jasmine - March 15

We’re a little late this month with our monthly picture due to a nasty virus that made a mess of our computer. Luckily no files were lost, just a bunch of time. We decided it was time invest in some proper virus protection (instead of the free stuff that’s online) so this doesn’t happen again.

But better late than never so here is our pick for March. A bit of a tough choice but the clear winner was Jasmine flying across the screen as Super-Cat from A Year of Cats - March 15. She’s really having a good stretch on the carpet, but it looks more like she’s your friendly neighborhood feline super-hero!

We love it. We hope you do too.

Don’t look now but your cats are watching you.

We had been having a run of beautiful Sunny days with unseasonably warm temperatures. I decided to take advantage of this warm spell and do some woodworking and a few other things in the backyard.

After a couple of hours I looked back at the house and noticed I had some company. I was being watched by two of our cats. It was Dax and Jasmine. They were very curious about why I was outside and what I was doing.

Normally I would have let them out to explore and sniff around for a while, but the yard was a bit of a mess and the noise from my power tools would probably scare them back inside.

So I let my little furry audience of two had to stay behind the safety of our back door and continue to be entertained by my back-yard activities.

Here they are watching the show.

Jasmine loves Boots

Jasmine followed her nose into a nice pair of winter boots the other day. She loves all kinds of footwear, especially our winter boots. She strode into the kitchen gave me a quick glance and dove into the boots.

It was funny watching how much she enjoyed playing around with them. At one point she almost completely disappeared in one boot.

Check out Jasmine getting into her favorite pair of boots.

You’ll have to excuse me for a moment, these boots require my immediate attention.

Jasmine’s Double-Whammy Power Yawn

Here’s Jasmines’ entry into the world of impressive cat yawns. Let me tell ya, this is a good one. Our current record holder is Dax’s Big Yawn. But I think Jasmine might give Dax a run for his money with this performance.

Jasmine was having a good time rolling around and napping in the sun beams as they streamed through the back door one winter afternoon. Then it happened, not one yawn, but two!

Jasmine casually rolled on to her back and the rest was cat yawn history. There’s not much else I can say but Wow! Right-on Jasmine.
