Great cat photos! Thanks for sharing.

Much more entertaining than last night's television! Congrats to all the kitties who won an Oscar. =)

Awwww, cute Frankie picture.

Can i just say that i just listened to your memory lane Lark Songs and they are FANTASTIC! shame he changed careers.

Don't forget to visit one of my other favorite blogs (aside from CAP) gofugyourself.com for the best Oscar style don't around!

Purr-fect!

. . . and the Oscar for "best cinematography" goes to Laurie. ; )

Of course I'm not surprised that your kitties would be Oscar winners! They certainly exude that certain "je ne sais quoi" (4 years of French, and this is all I remember).

HUGE round of applause for the talented cats. Roy is so dramatic.

Yes, that Roy is such a little drama queen. You should see him trying to spit up his medicine. Priceless.

:-)

You have to know that we were just going to EAT UP all your cat pics!

Frankie looks especially glamorous!

awww! Such cute babies!
A tortie has taken up residence on my front porch. She looks like she may have recently had some kitties so I've been feeding her, but she isnt letting me follow her to find out where any babies might be. Any tips on gaining her trust? Shes REALLY skittish.

Gotta love the kitty pics!

"My Left Paw" is my favorite :)

Brilliant photos! I like your Oscars better than the "real" ones.

haha. love it!!!

thanks for the cat pics! I was needing a fix. Hi Roy!

Ahhh, I really needed that today. Thanks for the kittyliciousness!

:) Totally better than the "real" Oscars. I don't have to watch CBS repeats to avoid the kitties.

{{Snicker}} My Left Paw. Too friggin cute.

I watched the oscars last night and I am telling you Laurie..your version is much more entertaining!! :)
Boy they are so pretty...Frankie has the prettiest face.

Moi, j'adore le petit Bob. Tellement mignon...

My God, those pics are GREAT!

Did the cats watch the Oscars with you? Boris and Natasha were only interested in the clip from "King Kong."

Yikes!! That is one giant Bob paw.

So what was Soba's response when the red carpet folks asked who she was wearing?

Okay, this question has consumed me for the past 24 hours. Why is Sobakowa named Sobakowa? She doesn't look like a buckwheat pillow, or any other pillow for that matter! She is very cute...as are the others. And if she controls the weather, really truly, can she send some sunshine over near Pittsburgh?? We're dying in the gloom...

My guess is that Sobakowa is really and angel and all of this is just a bunch of slanderous talk!

How come your cat pictures always come out so good? Do you just take a ton of them? Is the lighting in your house magic so you don't have to use the flash and get scary glow-eyed kitties? Do your cats sit still while you photograph?

i want to stick my face in each of their bellies.

Are you concerned about the fallout of them wearing fur on the red carpet?
;-)

Yay for Bob - what a stellar performance! (applauds) :)

The voices in my head told me that you would do something that combined the Oscar's and the cats. The cats were more interesting. I would also like to know how the Soba got her name.

I would totally be Soba's minion.
But I have to say, Frankie is gorgeous.

Frankie has such a unusual and beautiful face. I especially enjoyed, "My left paw" ;-)

I love your kitties! I need one of my own...

That's just too cute!

Now that you mention it, Bob does look a little alarmed by his paw. Dr Strangebob!

Great kittie pictures!!

Those cats are Hollywood all the way and you are their Frank Capra. Meanwhile Mr. Ex can languish in summer stock in Peoria.

Goooooooo Frankie!!!

I assume the tshirts will be out soon?

what a bunch of cuties!! the academy got it right this year...

heheheh... cats gone hollywood!

soba got her name from some late-night drunken informercial watching. But it's a Great name, befitting a Great Ruler. LOL

Cat picture taking: I always have my camera around as ya'll painfully know by now, and I try to catch the cats when they're still enough. When the sun is coming in the bedroom windows, the cats loooove to lie around doing a whole lot of nothing. So the light is good, and they're basically still.

Try to use no flash if possible -- or use the red eye setting on your flash if you need it. But natural light is best. I have a cheap-o Kodak easy cam, so I think you can get shots no matter what quality the camera. Just be patient, annoy the cats to no end, and take tons of images. At least one will be a winner :)

Reading your previous posts ...

You DESPERATELY need to quit this job at White Guys in Ties and again pursue your dream of writing (for money) ...

You could be a professional reminiscer ..

- chase

Hee. I love your cat pictures and all the commentary that goes with them: "I really am going to get you. Suckers." So funny.

Wow, Laurie, I still adore your cats. The picture with Frankie in the foreground and Roy in the distant background is just brilliant. Frankie Goes To Hollywood? My cats send congratulations.

p.s. My cats now have pictures on my blog. Not as good as your pictures!

I may have to join myspace just so I can become a friend of that Sobakowa! Too funny.

They ARE the A-CAT-O-MY Awards by the way....

You know, I'm not a cat person, but your cat pictures just make my day. Your cats are just so expressive!

Thank You.

Great blog, I love our honesty and the kitties. You will have to check out Jackson on my blog, i think he may be Bob's twin (Jackson is the evil one though)
