The Life of Hooboo

Trying to keep pace with the exciting lives of Susan's 3 gorgeous felines is tough. See them in action here and here. When I asked him to play with something for the camera, Hooboo yawned and politely informed me he would rather not be a copycat. He then proceeded to do his own thing. Hooboo likes to read.


As you can see in the picture above, he reads in the same sort of places I do. One where he can shove the books aside after he is done with them and then go to sleep. Here he is with a stack of Kim Harrison books behind him having already spent the last 3 nights staying up reading them. As you can clearly see, the next book on his list to read is Susan's Shelter. He wasn't patient about me finishing it either. He said I took way too long and expressed his discontent by lying on top of it. When that didn't hurry me up, he got Hyram to do the same. Now he is jealously guarding his newly gained territory.


In other moments of the day, he does his best to destroy the lovely catnip filled toys that Susan sent the boys for Christmas. Here he is playing with the lamb, bouncing it off the sofa. I don't have a picture of him with the frog, but he did the hind foot strafe till Hyram decided it needed to be his if it was going to survive. Hyram prefers to bath his catnip toys. This picture didn't come out as nice as I'd like it to. The camera was on auto and it focused on the sofa instead of the leaping kitten. Oh well, I'll get better at this with practice...looking longingly at Gary's copy of Photoshop.

ROFL! Great pix, especially the first one! Please tell Hooboo that he has exquisite literary taste! ;-)

Lee said...

Thanks Susan! :) It was fun to write. Hooboo says, "Thank you!" too. Your labeling him a literary gourmet made his day!

Joy!

Lee, I love seeing pictures of Hyram and Hooboo.

Yes, Hooboo is quite the seasoned reader, isn't he? I wonder if he'll be putting a review of Susan's book on the amazon site. He could influence the feline sales in a big way.

Joy!

Lee said...

He says he might, San. If he does I'll have to ghost write it for him. He loves the keyboard but hasn't figured out how to coordinate his feet for typing yet.

Joy!

Great to see you using the camera in all sorts of modes, Lee.

No time to catnap!

One likes to see a feline bibliophile. As well as a feline biblio-pile. Peace.

Lee said...

LOL And after a long day in the classroom that's exactly what I want. Thank you for visiting David! I am indeed having fun with that camera. Haven't had the courage to go beyond auto mode yet but I'm working on it.

Cheers & Joy!

Lee said...

Thank you Paschal! I have high hopes for his education. Plus it is nice that I don't have to buy any kitty beds. He's happy with paper pillows. (g)

Peace!

Stay in auto mode as long as you want. Nothing wrong with that!!!

Lee said...

Thank you, David! It will probably help me learn to recognize good shot potential if I stop worrying about getting creative with settings. :)

Hope!

Instead of the alt-tab keys on this `cat post' should we use the alt-tabby?

Lee said...

LOL Absolutely! Tabby right and Tabby Left. When did you get so good with these puns? You're the best I've ever met. :)

Cheers!
