Deceptive Sunny Selfies

We always love taking sunny selfies around here. It means there is, well, sun! And sun means sun puddles.



See? Aren't sun puddle snoozies just the best?

Astrid decided on showing that not only is snoozing fun in the sun, but so is pouting.


And guess what? Even Eddy tried a sunny selfie this week! With a little help from the mom, and the camera's zoom feature, and a little sneaking up on an unsuspecting Eddy, the active little lady has this to offer this week:


But, to be honest, these selfies are quite deceptive. Despite the sun, and despite the fact that last week was a warm one, we've now returned to cold temperatures. We even got snow!

We are entering these deceptive sunny selfies into the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by wonderful Kitties Blue over at The Cat on My Head.



So, although we have sun, we've hunkered back down inside to stay warm. We're looking a little more like this today:



Are any of our furiends back to being hunkered down inside? At least that means more snuggles! And how about a warm drink?

Warm wishes to all!

Our Tip of the Day:
When training your pup, or even your kitty, you might consider teaching them hand signals to go along with verbal commands. Having hand signal commands can come in handy, such as if you're at a quiet location not conducive to verbal commands, if your furbaby is ever at a distance from you and out of easy earshot, or if your furbaby ever becomes hard of hearing. The hand signals can be as simple as holding a hand up to mean stay, or pointing downward to indicate lie down. You never know when silent commands might end up being needed, and it never hurts to be prepared!

Those are such great selfies. Eddy, that is such a good picture of you. And love the drawing of Rosie. You all have a great day.

Alas it's not really stopped being miserable here, and winds have overtaken the rain as no.1 nuisance. You guys sure do know how to enjoy a good sun puddle, I'm getting quite envious! Purrs, Erin

Lovin' your sleeping selfies of the gang and your drawing with the mug drawing with blissful kitty expression is just priceless! (of course we have a weakness for calicos...) We sent you a link on FB for Evan if you want to join the orange cat celebration). Love, P & P

Great sun puddle selfies, I am impressed with Eddy's- nice to see more than a blur :) Our temps went from 70 on Friday to 38 today- brrrrrr....no snow though. Very cute drawing. And excellent tip, I never thought to do that with my pets. We do some sign language with my 15 month old great niece so why not extend it to the pets.

Such wonderfully sunny selfies, sweet friends! We're sorry to hear the cold and snow are back, but you can snooze and dream of how the sunpuddles felt while these pictures were taken, right? :)

LOVE the drawing of Angel Rosie and the warm drink.

HUGS!

Have you ever tried hand signals with the kitties? We know it is not unusual to use them with doggies. The selfies are so precious today, especially Thimble. And as always, your drawing is adorable. Stay warm. Thanks for hopping. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

Love the sunny shots!!! I wish I could curl up in your sun with you. We had a nice week in terms of weather, but we're freezing now too. Adorable selfies :)

We know what you mean about those sun puddles. We may have them and want Mom to open a window, but when she does, it is way too cols, so we ask Dad to close it! Great selfies

Paws News for Cat Lovers said...

Ahhhh! Sun puddles makes us think warm, fuzzy thoughts, and we like you is returning to cold temps. Burrrr or rather Meowssss. We don't likes it, but some warm soup would help us warm up. Kitties like to be our lap blankets, too!

Aw, love your artwork! Nothing beats a cozy warm drink on a cold today. Although sun puddle snoozies are pretty amazing too!

The Island Cats said...

Your weather is like ours...warm one day, cold the next. But we sure enjoyed your sunny selfies today.

Sun puddles are da best!

It's the same here. Last weekend was like a chilly spring day. This past week has been really chilly and it snowed one day. It's supposed to snow again tonight. I'm convinced we've somehow ticked off Mother Nature and this is her way of expressing her wrath. Luckily my boys love to cuddle so we're sharing our warmth.

The selfies in the sun are lovely even if it didn't last long.

I didn't realize Eddy was ticked like a squirrel! I love that cat fur color, and I really don't see it all that often. Here's hoping for more Eddy photos! Go zoom lens!
