Weird cat

My cat Louie is a bit strange at the best of times, but he outdid himself on this move. Notice his rear feet and stomach pointing right while his chest and head point left. I think he was going for a 360 and just couldn't pull it off.

Wally says, "Louie Rocks....." Note his enthusiasm. =^..^= Wally's just jealous because he's too fluffy to pull a Louie twist.

LOL...Louie looks like he wants to play Twister! He's really cute too!

Murphy is just to relaxed to care though:

Hermione is also to laidback to play Twister (although I think she'd have a good chance of winning)...

They do things that seem to be cute to draw your attention while their accomplices are up to no good.

Check the stock market. It's probably down.

You mean they're not supposed to be weird?

Here are a few more of our beasts...

Left to right: Four year old, overweight Harry, Arthur who you may remember cost me an arm and a leg at the vet a short while back and Ginger. We're not sure what happened to her before we got her, but some of her whiskers were frazzled like they had been burnt. She's a real sweetheart. Arthur is a big lummox about a year old and acts like a little kid. He likes to play with Ginger and use her for a chew toy. She evidently isn't real bright because she loves to hang around with him. Those two are both rescues.

This is Lily, another rescue. We got her and Ginger about a month ago. Lily is the more adventurous of the two, and only gets chewed on by Arthur when Ginger isn't available. She has a great personality.

And let's not forget Frank, a three year old Female. We thought she was a male when we named her. She answers to anything as long as there is food involved. She is Harry's daughter/sister. Don't ask. What can I say, their mother is a tramp.

Love them all!! The are beautiful--I've got a tiny tortie curled into a ball in my left arm right now. Often her back feet are stretched out over her head.

Interesting concept.

Harry and Frank's mother is a tortie. She's 5 years old and still seems about half feral even though we've had her since she was less than 6 weeks old.

My cat Mauser does that all the time, not sure why. Lately he has taken to sleeping under my desk with his front paws sticking out. I have to be careful not to back the chair over them or step on them when I'm getting up.

OH...Ginger is SO cute! They all look like spoiled happy kitties.

Harry...that cat looks like my Hermione.

Here are the rest of mine:

Norah, a rescue from our vet's office. She's a real sweetie:

Noelle, another rescue from the vet's office. She's also a sweetheart:

Harley, a rescue from a local feral cat group. He chose to be a barn cat when we moved to the farm. He's our oldest cat (eight years old):

Kearie, our "demon" kitty. Hubby brought her home from work one cold March day. She was only a few days old and I had to bottle feed her. You can probably tell that one of her pupils is odd. We think the mother cat abandoned her, possibly she was the runt of the litter. She's very small and mean as can be:
