Scaredy Cats


Is the flashy box gone yet?

Hi kitties, Traveler here. I'm representing both of us, since Sherlock was too scared to even come out and do this. You'll find out in just a minute why. But I'll give you a hint: it has to do with flashy boxes. Do you want to know what I am really afraid of? I think it's something all cats have in common. I don't really like to say the word, but,... it gives me the chills just to say it you know. The human follows me around every where with it... okay okay, you've probably guessed it by now: The flashy box.
She follows me around every where with it, documenting my every move. A cat could use some privacy around here, you know. But apparently the human doesn't get it. She still will follow me around the house and the flash a bright light and next thing I know my picture was taken. I don't like it, not one bit.
Any way, I'm scared beyond reason. I just don't like it and I do everything to avoid it.
I hope this face is convincing enough, and maybe, just maybe, the human will reconsider using the flashy box on me ever again. Please?



There's always hope for next time.
 Luckily for Sherlock, he was able to avoid the flashy box. But me, well, that's another story. There's always hope for next time, right? I hope so.

  2. Well, part of the problem is your face. It's so cute that your mom can't resist following you around with the flashy box. I hate the camera too, though, and can completely relate!

  3. Traveler, the stalking problem is something that goes with being well-loved. Humans who care so much tend to go a bit too far, especially with those flashy boxes. Your human appears to have taken those two cute pictures of you without flash, and that wasn't so bad, was it?

  7. Maxwell: Traveler, DOOD. There's always one in the bunch. None of us like the F.B. either but Faraday's WAAAY too much of a Scaredy Cat to stand up to it like you did in those photos here. Way ta go!

  8. It's a crime to steal a photo like that. Maybe you if you put the bitey on the human she will leave you alone!

  9. We are so used to the Flashy Box we usually ignore it. And we frustrate Mommy by looking cute and then closing our eyes or looking away just as the Flashy Box goes "click". MOL.

  10. We really don't like that flashy box either and try our hardest to avoid it, but it seems to always catch up to us. But that is a cute picture of you. Have a great day.

  12. *sigh* Alas, the flashy thing is what we media-famous kitties must endure! Our public would be the poorer for NOT seeing us, yes?

  15. I think you are out of luck. You are waaaay too cute for her not to use the "flashy box" again.....I'm not afraid of it, I just HATE IT! do what I do, turn your back and break the pose that she found so endearing that she must photograph it....that's PAYBACK!

  17. Hey Sherlock, Hey Ash, Hey Traveler, Jet here.

    Sorry you're afraid of the flashy box... perhaps you can meow to your human that you prefer the box when the sun is out!

    See, the thing is, we really love seeing great photos you and the box is a necessary evil!
