princess cat diva

are diva's made not born?

is gracie a diva because she's such... well, a mama's kitty? have i done this to her? i thought she'd share in my excitement over having a new play toy... but... ummmm... nope... you can see by her face. it went like this:

"gracie... look! mama has a new camera. isn't this the prettiest thing ever? it's super cool and will make you look even more wonderful than you already are..."

look of disdain... eyes half closed...

"don't give me that look - i wanna try a few shots of you - 'cuz you're such a lovely girl... doesn't that sound fun?"

yawn... slight roll of eyes and hunkering of shoulders into blanket...

note: the good news is that she didn't run

"okay, here we go - just relax and look gorgeous..." i get about 5 pics off...

really? are you still there? ...gets up and repositions... (i thought for sure she'd jump down at this point, but this camera is much more quiet so perhaps that's a good thing...)

"you're doing so well, sweetheart..."

blinks... you know that thing is flashing at me, don't you? ...glares at me

i did manage to get off about 10 shots total before grace couldn't tolerate me anymore and had to move... so funny - she is just not one to sit patiently like some other cats i see. i love her all the same, though... divaness, attitude, snarkyness... doesn't matter - guess this is what is meant by unconditional. after all, i think about what she puts up with when it comes to me... wonder what those conversations might be like in her little head - or maybe i really don't want to know... boo!

happy day.....
