Who knew cats would want hummus so much?

The snozz of intrigue...

#ProofOfCat
A black and white cat, looms his head over a blanket, with a fully intent stare on a small amount of pitta and hummus. His nose is thrust forward and his eyes almost crossed, fully concentrating on the new food source!

"Come in, have a seat. No, no. You're not in any trouble. We just have a few questions for you..."
Three cats, sit on a tucked away chair bed, all staring at the camera in different accusatory ways. You don't know what's happened, but you know you're probably in for it!

I'm pretty sure Puck is still growing into his, so luckily we won't need to scrounge for a new set just yet!
A black and white tuxedo cat, stares into the camera with his few remaining braincells working at full capacity. They're trying their best. {Windows 98 start up sound plays}

You glance away, to toast a friend to the new year.

When you turn back, she's moved closer.

You didn't hear her, you didn't even feel the movement..

And yet. She knows, there was a cheeseboard.
With hams.

#NewYear
#ProofOfCat
A mainly white cat, with tabby splashes, now stands Much Closer to the camera that previously. There is no hesitation in her stare. No mercy or allowances for failure. She knows you have cheese and ham. She wants cheese and ham. This is a simple exchange.

She says she may be convinced to take part in the celebrations, if it means she gets more food.

#NewYear
A white and tabby cat stands, between the railings of the bannister, half way up a flight of stairs. Her huge black eyes, stare down at some source, to the viewers left hand side. She senses there has been cheese and meat. She wants it.

When all the humans are making a fuss to stay up late...

And the cats of the house couldn't give a flying fuss!

#proofofcat
A mainly white cat with some tabby spots, snoozes in a heap. All Peet's curled in and head tucked upside down, only showing her pink nose. A mainly white cat, with black patches, sprawls out on the bed. A ungraceful pose, with one giant paw covering his face. A mainly white cat, with tabby splotches, is curled up to snooze on a heap of blankets. Finally, a small white and tabby cat is curled up on a duvet. Her head is tightly tucked into her belly, her front paws hooked behind her thighs. Her rear legs are stuck straight out. She has almost perfect form for an olympic diving manoeuvre!

I don't know exactly what he's done, but I know he's feeling guilty about something..

#proofofcat
A black and white Tuxedo cat, lying on the floor with one long while from arm extended, stares up at the camera with huge eyes. We don't know if he's hairballed on a chair, knocked something valuable off a shelf, or locked his mother in a cupboard... But whatever he's done, he's looking guilty!

Ciri tried to Rudolf herself.
White and Tabby cat, who's clambered into the very heart of a Christmas tree, and is currently warming her nose on a lightbulb.

This is why focal point matters...

#ProofOfCat
Under chin, close up photo of a cute black & white tuxedo cat. He has a boopable pink nose, big inquisitive eyes and a rear paw kicked out at a jaunty angle. An adorable boy. Same boy. Very different aspect. Photo is taken straight on, from a little higher than his eyeline. The focal point is now changed and so his giant ass seems to loom like an awful halo around his very circular face. The paw which was previously jauntly askew, now looks shoved out by his bulk. He is a lorge boy.

It's so reassuring, when you can literally see her calculating how to drown you, and make it look like an accident.
A cat, sat in a sink, ominously stares down at the viewer (presumably in a bathtub). Her face states her intentions. And they're not conducive to your good health.

Cobweb is willing to try Most things that the humans seem to enjoy 😖
A tiny, goofy carved pumpkin, is held up for inspection to an equally small white and tabby cat.

This became a favourite jaunt of hers...!

The contemplation.... Before the chomp.
A black and white cat, with a big round face, contemplates the bedding with every Braincell in his skull. He is about to pounce and decimate the foreign object. Which is a hand, which the owner accidentally wiggled the fingers of.

For when you really want to stress out the humans in the home...
A white and Tabby cat seats herself on the inside sill of a window. Not a proper window sill! The inside edge of an open window. Over a one story drop. With a completely unrepentant "try me dude" facial expression.

I feel his face sums up a lot of people's general moods..

But hey, at least he's got a comfy blanket and a warming pad!
A black and white cat, with dick and balls graffiti marking on his face, stares into the camera with the weight of a thousand annoyances... And yet. He's a cat. He's probably just fed up that there hasn't been dinner yet.

For what good it can do, I'll keep adding cute pictures of cats.
Tabby and white cat, sat on a chair tucked under a table, stares inquisitively at the viewer, with a cute little tilt of the head

So it turns out he's had more than enough treats!

Puck would also like some Christmas treats

Something woke him up... Though apparently only half of his body got the memo.
A black and white cat was previously fast asleep, sprawled out on the bed. A noise means that the cats head is stretched out full, his entire torso raised on his front legs... With the rest of his body still laid out. He looks to be a cat-mermaid!

A perfect shrimp.
A white and tabby cat, very smol, curls herself into a shrimp shape while sleeping on her side.

I do worry that his one Braincell gets lonely sometimes.

Bloody good thing he has Ciri to watch out for him.
A black and white cat, sitting on his arse in a weirdly human position, stares into the depths of the camera, with a void expression like staring into the vacuum of space itself. In the background, a white and tabby cat glances around in something bordering on interest.

He thought I had treats.

He did Not appreciate that I had a tangerine!
A black and white cat stands on a computer desk, in front of a screen playing Baulders Gate. Near the camera is an out of focus, peeled tangerine. The cat wears an expression of affront, disgust, repulsion and the kind of disappointment reserved for the grandson who just deeply disgraced the family name.

There are days he looks as "done" with the week, as I feel..

Dude, you're barely a year old and A Cat.
What do you have to look so fed up about?
A black and white cat, curled up comfortably in a hammock section of a cat tree. His dangling foot, and relaxed pose is offset by a facial expression of pure world-weariness.
