By nature, Rolz is about the laziest cat on the Planet. Garfield is his hero and an occasional bout of bullying his sisters, Mia and Peanut, or the elder cats, Jazz and Harley, is the extent of his exertion. So, you can only imagine his joy at the opportunity to laze in front of the TV all day long for the Super Bowl! There is the early morning pre-game to the afternoon pre-game to the pre-game, pre-game! Then, it’s all the snacks and goodies that magically appear all day long!! What’s a kitty to do but to grab the remote and claim his spot on the couch for an all day meowathon of feline football, Cat-donna, and crazy commercials! Plus, he has the ideal excuse to be lazy… his brother Zeuss lives in Boston, so it would be very rude if he did not root for the Patriots!!

Ugg.... I feel a headache coming on...

Hmmm.... maybe if I apply pressure the headache will go away...

Okay...I think that is helping - now just turn off the lights and I shoud be fine soon!

Poor Zee! Don’t worry – we all have days like this! Just get some rest and before you know it, you’ll be back to watching birds out the window!

Aww... sweet dreams my precious and darling babies...

Do you ever wonder what our kitties think about when they are sleeping? Surely it must be something sweet and precious, I mean, come on, look at how adorable these kitties are… “Hrmmphpf,” says Rolz with total nonchalance and boredom… “What do you think we think about?” “How about world domination, cat treats, mousies, world domination, lizards, birds, wadded paper balls, wiggly toes, and more cat treats…”Beware humans, while you think I am sleeping, I become CATZILLA… heroic cat to make dreams come true for kitties of the world… Don’t let my obvious arrogance, laziness, boredom, and aloofness fool you…  I WILL RULE THE WORLD!! Beware city dwellers… your Temptations Treats will be MINE!!

CAUTION….

SCROLL VERY, VERY SLOWLY…

ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK….

GRRR…. I SAID GRRR…

I hope I did not scare you all too much on this Wordless Wednesday, but I did warn you!! That tough little guy in the above picture was Zeuss Catt at 7 weeks of age!

Sometimes one is invited into the rare and compelling world of an animal caught in their natural habitat, completely unaware they are being watched. I happened upon a chance like this one day and had to grab the camera to capture this stunning creature, much like a photographer for National Geographic would do, if the occasion so presented itself.

You will notice with the advancement of technology, how I was able to capture the visual surroundings and transcribe the exhilarating feeling of the moment with the high speed of the lens shutter. Each image is more amazing than the next and you can just feel the energy of this amazing creature burst off your computer screen. For your sense of time and to see just how incredible this camera is, I have documented the snapshots in real time. I truly think I deserve some sort of award for this rare and extraordinary post!

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 9:46 a.m. The creature is discovered, apparently sleeping atop some sort of domesticated wicker hamper with a padded towel for maximum napping comfort

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 10:14 a.m. The imagery and range of motion is stunning!

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 12:34 p.m. I don't know about you all, but I feel I could faint from the excitement!

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 2:14 p.m. The animal awakens, completely startled and a blur of motion as he rubs the sandman out of his eyes.

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 4:46 p.m. In what is a shocking and stunning turn of events, the creature has rotated itself to now nap in the opposite direction... this is just incredible people, simply incredible...

My special gratitude and acknowledgements to my beloved cat Zee. Turns out this was not some rare creature after all, but just my cat napping for 16 hours a day on the hamper like he does any other day….
