PEEK-A-BOO! I SEE YOU!
Greetings, Sparky Tabasco fans. The Word Wench godkitten has been up to her usual tricks, hiding in wastepaper baskets and around corners, the better to leap out at anything or anyone passing by. She's good at drive-by slappings, though she never uses her claws. I find it highly entertaining to see her peeking out from her hiding place, unaware of how adorable she looks.
Most of the pictures I took of Sparky this past week were rather boring, so I thought I'd put together a montage of photos showing Sparky playing peek-a-boo from the age of 6 weeks on up. She started doing this when she was just a little tyke, and though she's now 7 months old, she still plays peek-a-boo. So, without further ado, here is a series of Sparky peek-a-boo pictures. Remember, if you wish to see a larger version of any picture, just click on it. (And apologies if it takes awhile to download the below pictures. TypePad isn't playing nice and won't let me resisize them.) ~ Sherrie
LOVED the montage!! Thanks for the day-brightener!

Pattie, I’m glad the pictures brightened your day. I found myself chuckling as I uploaded them to the blog. I’ve seen them dozens of times, but they still make me laugh.

I loved the peek-a-boo pictures.
On a silly NPR show, I heard that cats think their humans are just different cats. Cats on two legs. Cats who catch good (or not so good) food. How “they” know this I don’t know. Scientists are strange critters. I also heard that dogs see they keepers as alpha males. So I am wondering what Sparky thinks when she sees you peeking behind your camera.

Caption for the 6-weeks picture:
“Kitteh … haz plans to conquer THE EARTH…!!!”
*g* Sorry, couldn’t resist. She has that expression. Thanks for giving me another smile for the week!

LOL, Shannon! Lord only knows what Sparky is thinking. One thing’s for sure: she’s totally familiar with my camera and the often used flash.
My first thought when you mentioned the NPR show was “How do they know that?” Too funny!

You’re welcome, HJ. I’m glad Sparky’s photos give you pleasure. And you’re probably right–Sparky likely does think I’m playing peek-a-boo with her!

Louisa, when I was going through the Sparky pictures, I kept wishing she was still a kitten. Who’d have ever thought she would grow up to be such a character? I should have known, though. Even as a 3-week-old orphaned kitten her adventuresome, demanding, fun-loving, adorable, irascible personality shined through.

Thank you, Jenny. I enjoy sharing Sparky with everyone. And Sparky seems to enjoy being shared, because right this instant she is sitting in front of the monitor, slapping at the cursor!

LOL! Good caption, Lucy! It seems you know Sparky rather well. *g* (Hint: Sparky is certain she has already conquered the earth!)

Late again, but I have a legitimate excuse: my aunt was here from New York last weekend so I was with family and not on the internet.
But I am so glad that I didn’t miss these great pictures! I have enjoyed watching Sparky’s antics as she’s grown and changed over the months. Please keep them coming!
Pierce doesn’t give me “drive-by slappings” but he does follow me and try to grab me around the ankle if he wants me to stop for some reason. (It sounds like I only have one cat, but Pierce is the one who seems to have the most in common with Sparky. Andrew has his own great personality though.)

Kay, that first picture is one of my favorites, too! She makes me laugh every day (as well as steam with frustration!)

Hi, Diane. Definitely cute, even when she’s stealing the pencil right out of my hand, as she just did a few moments ago. *g*

Donna, I hope you had a great visit with your aunt from New York!
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the Sparky pictures. I’m averaging around 150 pictures per month, though most of them end up being discards. I only keep the ones I really like. I currently have over 600 photos in my Sparky file, all taken since I found her as a 3-week-old orphan in July of 2013.
Like your Pierce, Sparky is forever grabbing me around the ankles, especially when I’m in the kitchen. She also likes to sit on a stool in the kitchen and watch me as I cook. No matter what room I’m in, she migrates into that same room. It’s highly flattering, until I discover that she’s actually just a nosy busybody and doesn’t want to miss anything. *g*
Anyway, it does indeed sound like Pierce is Sparky’s soul brother. And I’m certain Andrew has his own wonderful personality. I’m toying with the idea of getting a kitten friend for Sparky in the spring, and if I do, I can only hope the new addition will be as personable as your two.
