During a leaf-raking session this week, a cup of coffee sounded good.
Hmmm. What's this?
Smells like milk and it's warm...
This isn't Starbucks! Blech.
Move over Goldilocks. Let me check this out.
I'll give it the paw test.
Hey. Hold up there buddy.
You won't like it.
No sugar.
Besides, it's getting cold.
Sucka.
Just a few more minutes to cool,
and it's all mine.
(Yes, there was real coffee in that cup.
Plus a little sugar-free French vanilla creamer.)

Easy, yummy, delish!

A darling (and funny!) combinaton of images and narration - loved it....
ReplyDeleteCats are such fascinating creature - equal parts of curiousity and fussiness it seems (at leat that's the way most of mine have been lol) They can never leave a thing alone but then look at me with such annoyance when they discover it's not to their liking or amusement, lol
Thanks for the smile brought on by your pictures/post!
Issy
These are fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks lie all the kitties got in on the act.
ReplyDeletebwahahaha....what a great series of shots Nancy! Gotta love the curiousity of cats!

ReplyDeleteLaurie
TOO Cute! Mine does the same thing! Last night I let her have the last of my milk, not sure if that is a good thing or not. But she loved it.
ReplyDeleteDelicious photos. Yes, I love milk, as these cats.
ReplyDeleteNow that is funny, I got a great giggle and had my neighbor come over and look.The paw dipper reminded me of a stable cat I had that always played like this.
ReplyDeleteLoved this! The dialogue was perfect too! Have a great Sunday Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThat pretty blue mug is the perfect "foil" for the cat dialogue. ;-) (Sorry to miss this week---just didn't get in the groove because I spent 3 of the days driving to and from my elderly mother's....as well as taking her on drives.)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and story line... I like the cat tongue photo!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh these were so fun. What a great story to go with the photos. I love the shot with the tongue sticking out.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, I love cats and these are the cutest pics. Our youngest kitty is always doing the paw test on our iced tea!
ReplyDeletelove your perspective and the photos are simply fantastic!
ReplyDeletetoo cute commentary too.

Your cat stories are amazing. You can photograph cats in such wonderful way. I was inspired by your photographs!
ReplyDeleteAll cats are fantastic. Love them very very much.
You are such a great photographer!!!
I wish you nice and peaceful Sunday.
Kitties... they are SO entertaining... my newest (a 9 week old Siamese mix) Toasty gave my coffee with cream a try this morning... Thank you Nancy, for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #55!
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness everything about this post has me smiling.

ReplyDeleteRon
Thank you for responding to my email! Now I am added in kind've late and most people won't see my shot but I am happy to join in.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of your cats!
ha, cute pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos Nancy! Loved them all. Great mug to attract the kitties!
ReplyDeleteThe paw test is given to any and all glass wear at our house. So the moral of the story is to not leave un finished beverages around! Unless you like water with a swirl of litter box.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictorial story! Too cute. The black cat with tongue is really cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is precious, love the last frame!!
ReplyDeleteI loe your kitty tale - the photos are great - really tell the story!
ReplyDeletewonderful series. Beautiful cats! I love cats but don't have one at the moment. Will live vicariously through yours and others pics, I guess, until I can get my own.
ReplyDeleteSilly kitties! I LOVE the shot of the paw test. :-)
