Do your cats sometimes sleep on things their same color? Do you wonder if they are camouflaging themselves? I do. This morning I noticed ALL FOUR of them were resting on their own color so I grabbed the camera…

(Lucy’s ear isn’t dirty…she gets little drops of her brown stomatitis syrup stuck to her at times.)

Leo had left the beige carpet before I could get his camo photo. But here is a cute one of him bird watching with his dad…

I was thinking and realized that those camo spots really belong to each respective cat. Nobody else has ever so much as looked at Lucy’s cat bed. Eko is the only one who sleeps in that black chair. And I rarely see anyone but Emily in the gray chair. And Leo does spend more time than anyone else in the beige window perch. Hmmmm….interesting.

Lucy gets her stomatitis syrup every single morning. I actually enjoy the routine a little because I get to snuggle Lucy close and kiss her little head. (She likes gentle petting but not scooping up and snuggling so I enjoy it when I can.) So I had my husband capture the routine on camera…

We should be able to tell in the next month or so whether the stomatitis meds are helping. (We need the effects of a Jan. 3 steroid shot to completely wear off.) If they control the condition she will use them every day indefinitely. Fingers crossed…

Great pics as always, ECB! and hope everything works out for Lucy! I love Emily’s coloring. You don’t show as many pics of her.

I’m thinking about ours, and I don’t think there is any camo going on. They just sleep in the comfiest places, or where the other one wants to be (Dad’s lap alot!)

We don’t have any fix on the ferals yet…their world is small. Sir Mixalot is an enigma too, for now.

I had kitties that would camouflage themselves as scatter rugs, throw pillows and laundry. To this day I “skim-walk”, always fluff pillows before relaxing into the sofa and put all laundry in the wash slowly, one article at a time. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for Lucy’s medication to work and my prayers that the stomatitis heals and just goes away. Love the beautiful pictures EC.

Loved the pictures! I watched the last two at least ten times 🙂

Thanks, guys. The medicine routine is a real mama bird, baby bird moment. Lucy might not have such fond feelings about it. She hates being “captured” and scooped up for the event but once she’s getting the meds I like to think she enjoys the snuggles and kisses. Maybe they at least make it more bearable. They do for me. 🙂

They’re all so cute!! I don’t know if I ever noticed if my cats “go camo” or not, but now that I think about it, there aren’t many places in my house that are similar colors to my cats, haha. They’re always hanging out on top of the giant scratching post my fiance built for them or in their pet beds.

Well–I do have a cat bed shaped like a moose, and sometimes Moose sleeps in it. Is that camo? 😉

Great pics, ECB, and so true! I have just one black half-moon rug, which Comet likes to play on/under. It’s startling when the rug suddenly jumps!

LOL, Joan. That reminds me…about a week ago I noticed Eko resting under a chair in our bedroom. It struck me as a little anti-social since it was the time of day we play games in the living room. So I talked to Eko sweetly and went on and on until I realized I was talking to my husband’s black fleece sweater….LOL.

Dopey ‘puter blocked links. Re-applied as this is not a risky link, duh!

(Lol, and salesmen can view Sports Illustrated swimwear ed as not blocked/risky…oyy!)

Well, JK, I did take one rather risque photo of Eko on top of Lucy, but I didn’t post that one. 🙂

LOL – Ozzie & Murphy are always in camo mode anytime they are on the beige carpet. When we first got the little guys their fur was so light they really did blend right in. I was afraid I would step on one of them because I didn’t see him!
