Yes, you two can see the bottom of your bowls. But if you'd both just LOOK DOWN you'd see that there's still quite a bit of food there.
Two cats sit next to half-full food bowls. One, a black long-hair with a lion cut, glares through half-lidded eyes at the camera. The second, a large long-haired tuxedo, looks sad.

You'd be forgiven if you thought Aahz had decided to go punk, but his new mohawk haircut is because lately he gets angry when we try to brush his hips and belly.
A long-haired black cat looks up from a food dish to stare angrily at the camera. He has been shaved from neck to tail along his sides.

"Why are children ringing our doorbell? Who authorized this? This is entirely unacceptable!"
A long-haired black cat and a larger long-haired tuxedo cat sit at the top of carpeted stairs, staring down with notable concern.

A little bit of forced perspective makes Dresden look even...fluffier. (That's a good adjective. Let's not fluff-shame.)
Two long-haired black cats are eating. The nearer is seen from behind, and appears much larger than the other.

This is the look of a #cat who's just realized Mom has cheese...and hasn't offered to share!

I'm starting to think we're not doing a very good job restricting Hairy Dresden's kibble intake.
A large tuxedo cat lays on its back at the top of a wide, carpeted staircase. The cat is also wide.

Every day lately I've awakened to see my #cat Dresden guarding the bedroom door. From what, I wonder.
Intruders?
The other cat?
Cheeseburgers?
A large long-haired tuxedo cat lays on its side in a doorway at the top of some stairs. It's dark on the viewer's side, and brighter outside.

Some of you might see this and say, "Toe beans!" Others, aware of its capabilities, might call it a "murder mitten." Its true name, however, is Gonad Crusher, Compressor of Crotches.

Dresden has this look of utter incomprehension because I've just told him that he can't possibly be starving, as there are still several pieces of kibble in his bowl.

There's a bird that keeps swooping by the front door playing an avian version of "ding-dong-ditch" and security feline Dresden is on the case.
A large long-haired tuxedo cat is peering out the window next to a door.

They say "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," but Dresden thinks one bird in the bush is good #cat TV.
A long-haired black cat sits on a bench next to a window. There is a large bush just outside the window, and the cat is staring at it intently.

"Open windows is a good start, but if you REALLY loved me you'd get rid of these screens, too."
A long-haired black cat sits on a stool between two open windows. Trees are visible outside. The cat is staring at the camera looking perturbed.

This is the look of a cat who doesn't understand why "it's hot out" is a valid reason for keeping the doors and windows shut on #caturday.

That look when you're guarding the front of the house against the Avian Menace but you hear chirping coming from out back.

Screens keep the Avian Menace from breaking in, but it's best to watch them closely anyway.
Two long-haired black cats are seen from behind as they look through a sliding screen door. They're watching a small black bird on the lawn outside.

Aahz is asleep in his box next to my desk. Does the singular extended claw mean he's dreaming of murder?
