Ohhhh such a face! I can almost hear the purring!

What a sweet face!! You take some awesome photos.

What a cutie. Must find a cat now to hug.

so cute! do you ever go on thecatsite.com? its a great site for fellow kitty addicts like ourselves ^.^

Laurie . . thank you so much for sharing your lovely feline friends with all of us. Would I be out of line for requesting a retrospective of Sir Roy? I have photos of my fur-persons that go back 20+ years, and they always give me a feeling of love and many smiles. Have you ever checked out the web site of Powell's Bookstores in Portland, OR? They carry the ongoing tale of their recently departed store cat, Fup, and the memories of her feline and canine companions, plus some great book reviews.

"Cutiecat" is exactly right. Such a sweetheart!

I have to admit that I am a total sucker for Frankie. Bob is so cute and Soba is so deliciously wicked, but Frankie is my favorite.

Just don't tell Soba!!

There's nothing that a purr can't cure!

Awww!!!! sigh (with much love) :)

As a mathematician, I have to admire the 50/50 symmetry of that face. Nature doesn't often make straight lines.

The half-n-half face gets me everytime...gorgeous!!!

Awwww. Frank Gorshin would be so jealous.

Now that's a sweet face! And I'd love to see the rest of that blanket that's in the background. It's crocheted...could it be a Drew creation?

That is by far the most interesting cat face, EVER. Even her ears are two-tone!

What a great photo!!!

I love the ears!

Frankie is cuter than Hello Kitty.

Love the nose freckles!
What pretty green eyes.

I love torties and Frankie is one of my favorites ever. Her face is amazing.

Frankie Fancy-face!

Had to come back and look at that face again. I love her ear hair tufts. My cat has ear hair tufts. :)

What a cutiecat. My girl kitty has a line down the middle of her nose just like that.

Seriously the prettiest cat ever. Frankie's coloring is just gorgeous.

I came back for another look, and I detect the presence of crochet. Is that yours? I'm bisticksual myself.

Sooo cute! Make sure and give some ear scritches for me!

Cutie? Frankie is gorgeous! I love to read all about your life and everyday stuff, but your post just makes my day if you have a cat photo. I don't care if it has anything to do with your post or not, it just puts a smile on my face.

Awwww!

What a poser!!!! Great photo :-)

I wuv her little nose freckles the BEST.

What a calendar-cutie-cat. You are quite the photographer as well!!

awwwwwwwwww!

she also looked very comfortable on the new coffee table in yesterday's post.

the evil soba must be getting VERY annoyed - first bob, now frankie....you must appease the evil one!

Now see -- I'm about chins. That chin wants little rubbings and smoochings, what can I say? Is that your new camera? These are top-drawer pix, without a doubt. Besides which, Franklin just has such a perfect face....Thanks for these.

Great picture of Frankie! I second the request for a closer look at the afghan behind him, though!

You have the best cat pictures! You know that don't you.

My own Frankie went by various names, from Franklin to Frankenstein! Love your Frankie!

Love the two little black freckles on the pink side of Frankie's nose.

Yin Yang, Baby, Yin Yang. Gotta' love that face!

Wasn't there a batman villain named Two-Face? With half his face one color and half his face another? Now I'm not saying Frankie's a villain, I'm just sayin'. :)

Hi Laurie! I love this picture of Frankie. I emailed you two .wmv files of Frankie 'talking'. (It's what I do for a living when not reading your blog!) Please enjoy them.

So who's on the coffee table? I can't believe it's unoccupied.

So very, very Cute!

I particularly enjoy the teeny tufts at the tops of her ears.

Wow, great photo of a very photogenic puss! The first reaction is "Awwww", and then a second look reveals the neatly bisected face and the blocks of crocheted color in the background that are oh so nearly lined up with that line down her face. Nice job!

Now I'm going to have to get out my electric cat that purrs when I pet it. Not nearly as cute as Frankie but it's all I've got.
.

what a beautiful baby

Wow. All your cats are so amazingly beautiful and photoenic. Way to pick 'em! ;-)

She is SOOOOOOOO beautiful!

What an awesome picture . . . . .

Well now that Frankie is a politician, he represents the two sides of politics.

The light airy everything is going to be OK side and the dark brooding this place is going to hell in a handbasket side.

So, no matter his mood, he's covered....;)

I agree with the mathematician about the gorgeous symmetry. And with the colors in the background -- seriously, Frankie belongs in Cat Fancy!

how do you get them to hold still for a picture? everytime a get my camera out, my cats stop doing what cuteness they are doing and rush toward the camera! Maybe because they are still teenagers.

Your cats are adorable! They look so well-loved and happy - you're a good cat mom.

That is one gorgeous cat!

Gosh, CAP, I know Soba is the Great Leader, yet Frankie is such a beauty, one can't help but be drawn to her! I hope Soba doesn't get jealous! Bob is a lucky kitty, to live with TWO pretty kitties (and an awesome human, too)!

So Gorgeous!

I reread your book last week, and was really struck by the part where you and Frankie spent the first night in X's empty office when he moved out.

It was bad enough that he abandoned you; but hey, people have Issues. But to totally abandon that poor, uncomprehending creature who had bonded with him, without even a backward glance; THAT takes a truly heartless, soulless hunk of wasted protoplasm!

You, Frankie, and the whole gang aren't just doing well without him - you're thriving. And getting cool new furniture; and starring in some great photo layouts. LIFE IS GOOD - ENJOY IT - YOU ALL DESERVE IT!!

Such a little cutie! I have a tortie cat myself (but she has a lot of white as well) but Frankie seems to be a lot more calm and nice than my Josephine is. I love her, of course, but she can be a real pita sometimes.

Laurie, I really want to know all about the awesome looking crocheted piece I see peaking from behind adorable Franklin Delano Cutiecat

Laurie, you've been somewhat "quiet" lately? Whatever "project" you are working on, I hope all goes well. :-)

that is a great picture!

Wow, I am not a cat person but that is one cute kitty. All of your cats are so adorable.

What a pretty face. You have such a great blog. I love to read.

booteeful cat! reminds me of a star trek episode.

Such an ADORABLE face!!

can you send a pic of Frankie to Cute with Chris (dot com). People don't believe markings like hers are real.

I am reading up on your blog (I'm at dec. 2005 now) and am just wondering: how compolsary are you when it comes to CatPics?
Do you perhaps have a file with photo's and when you have used one on your blog you move it to another file (labelled 'used catpics' perhaps)? So as not to repeat a picture already used once.
I am really wondering... it would suit the image of you that is starting to form in my head... (you are by no means obliged to fit this image in real life, I'm just saying)

also.... I am afraid your weirdness/colourfullness is contagious...through these, the tubes of internet.

Is that a hexigon crochet afgan behind his head?? :)

My cat has almost the same face!! Her name is Ruthie, but I often call wild-thing...

And he is so named because of... his striking resemblance to our 30-something president? The one with the two-tone face?
