Current Mood: I haz a cold

In the interests of parity.

So both Mooncat and Ish have had their chance to be internet stars this weekend. In the interests of parity, it's only fair that Horus has his moment in the sun, too.
The problem is, he can be rather hard to photograph. He is, as we know, A Scaredy Cat. Cameras make whirs and clicks. Horus is scared of whirs and clicks. They flash. Horus is afraid of things that flash. You are probably getting the idea.
And then there's the question of his spots. Somewhere in this picture is a cat:

You see the ? Sometimes he's just a long way away:

On in something:

And then there's the Ish factor. Horus *loves* his Ish:

But once in a while, you get lucky. This is Horus:

So sorry you have a cold :-(

But thank you for posting pics of my buddy. They are all very special, but I was especially flattered to have been allowed to lavish attention on Horus, who is one of the most handsome cats ever, even if he is a pest to the poor, neglected, and much-put-upon Mooncat.

Once he adopts a visitor, they are his for life: he's very loyal.

Sorry to hear about cold.

It's not too bad a cold -- more a nuisance than anything else.

Jungle Hunter-Cat!

I have a Thing for silver tabbies, I do.

Sorry the cold's not better yet. :-(

Oh, he is another Mighty Hunter, like Ish. Unlike Ish, he still hasn't learnt that if he brings his prey in, the humans take it away. He's not the brightest...
Cold is better than yesterday, at least.

He is beautiful!

Right now, he's also rather damp and very affectionate. He's just come in from the garden...

That is a book called "Moral Disorder" he's reclining against in the last picture? He's not trying to tell you anything, is he?

He is a handsome boy.

It is. If it were Moon, there might be something to the position. Alas, Horus... No.

What a very handsome boy :-)

Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you.

Horus is beautiful!

Sorry you're sick. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, on both fronts.

Oh I cannot express how much I love these pix. Cammo-cat! Cat-in-a-box! And catlove!

He's a very loving cat when he wants to be. But he's short-sighted, so he can also be very jumpy.

Get well soon!

Gorgeous kitties are gorgeous! :o)

Thank you.

Oddly enough, I find Horus the easiest to photograph of your cats... though in this one he is distracted by Draco.

Draco was an excellent distraction. Plus Horus likes you and Ina.

I didn't realise he was that short-sighted. Tequila's a very nervous cat for the same reason. Well, there may be other reasons as well but poor sight is one of them. He and Ish look very beautiful together. Sweet, innocent. And they say the camera doesn't lie...

Oh, they're *very* sweet.... All the way to the widdling.
But yes, we suspect Horus is quite short-sighted.

aw they're lovely squished :) they're very nice big earred cats. im a big fan of big, pullable kitty ears :)

Ish, in particular, is very soppy, and loves his cuddles.

You have the most Splendid, Awesome and Beautiful cats :)

Love love love these photos!

Thank you!

Cat photos are just what I needed, thank you. I never knew Horus was a spotted cat! So handsome.

Aw. He's a handsome boy.

He is. He doesn't know it: he still thinks he's a kitten, which is rather endearing.

He looks like a Horus. He really does. (Such a lovely face.)

He got the name because he sometimes makes a noise that's very like a hawk complaining, too. (We refer to it as 'squonk'.)

Gorgeous cat.

They're all gorgeous.

i hope you feel better soon.

your cats are really cute. :)

They are lovely cats, all three of them, really. Evil, but lovely, and very affectionate.

What pretty kitties. Thanks for the pictures.

Well, you have seen them in the fur, of course. SO you also know teh Evil.

Sweet Kitty! And under the bush in the green . . . what a lovely place to nap.

Feel better. Colds suck.

Thank you: I'm already feeling a lot better.
That bush is popular with all my cats, including the late, great Caspian. Cool and shady and right in the middle of the garden where everything can be observed.

Beautiful babies!

Aren't they lovely? I have very loving cats, which is a great boon.

D'aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

:-)
Horus is Surprised! At Everything! Moon and Ish, however, run the house.

I love the one of Ish and Horus squashed together. I haven't seen them like that.

It's usually an overnight thing: when the weather gets cold, they still sleep all curled up together.

Eek, hope the cold goes away soon. I love the camouflage pic of Horus :-)

The cold is much better: thank you.
