Ditto!


Boyfie is very nearly identical to Caliban.
Tweed


And similar to Polonca's Soncek, beautiful markings.

What? I had imagined Soncek to be a ginger boy. I'm hopeless at guessing
the colours of cats on here that I've never seen.
I'm always wrong.

Smokey says Caliban has a very nice poking posture at the start of
that movie, unfortunately that is not a true "poke" since he spends it
doing things that involve moving (like grooming, and roly-poly
writhing). A true poke involves working hard at doing nothing, as
gratuitously as possible.

Miranda makes a very pretty meatloaf!

I don't know if such a ladylike posture is slovenly enough for a
poke! And, of course, she reacts to your hand...just wrecks
everything, that kind of response to stimuli....

*have waved hand in front of Smokey's eyes, not even a blink....* I'm
just glad he remembers to breathe.


Heh, yeah I knew they weren't doing a true poke, either of them. Caliban
was until I took up the camera. He's such a ham for the camera. :P Mir
is too concerned with her ladylike image to do a true poke on film (she
still doesn't know I filmed her when she was stoned on da nip.)

This I'd believe. I remember the time I filmed Smokey poking. On the
one hand, there was far more tail twitching and eye blinking than
usual on account of me standing over him with a camera. On the other
hand, that was the proof I wasn't just showing the same still of film
over and over for two minutes....

And also that he is alive. I saw a YouTube last year sometime, of
a woman trying to wake up her seemingly comatose, or perhaps even dead,
cat. She poked it and moved it and blew in its ear, and did all sorts
of stuff, without evoking a single whisker twitch. Eventually the cat
did wake up, and it was all "dude, wait what".

It's amazing how alike they all look!
Best wishes,
Polonca and Soncek
