FURgie is so cute and sleepy again...

She fell asleep bracing against my leg, but I moved so that her mamma (my wife) could take this shot. The wife is getting really good with this photography stuff. Check out her blog.

Kitten likes grass

We read that cats eat grass to help with digestion, and since no grass grows in our apartment, I bought some. FURgie really liked it and would even push her whole face into it! I just hope she sticks to eating it and not try to smoke the thing...the smoke detector is really annoying! Also realized that my previous series of photos really sucked!

Part 5: Finally - FURgie licker of condensation!

After a long time (the entertainment value of sitting around with a camera waiting for her to do something was quickly diminishing) of checking out the situation from every angle and not surprisingly getting slightly distracted, FURgie the inquisitive decided that she wanted to lick the condensation on the outside of the glass instead of putting her furry head into the glass to drink Coke (she's done that with water already). Now no condensation coated glass is safe in FURgie's presence. Look at those eyes! She is a bit more orange in this photo that her actual color. I think I really have to stick to one setting for the D40 and the SB400 flash when I am taking sequential shots.

Part 4: FURgie checks it out from down low

FURgie remembered the Coke, checked it out from a different angle and started sniffing the Coke. What terrible habbits this kitten is developing! I now have a problem. I have been playing with the Nikon SB400 flash, the Nikon D40 settings and Nikon D-lighting using both the D40's built in D-lighting and also Nikon's Capture NX 2 software D-lighting applied to my RAW images and have been getting some varied results. To see what I mean, look at the other images in this series:

Part 3: FURgie checks it out from another angle

There was a momentary distraction (the internet is so compelling for FURges) then this little 12 month old kitten remembered the Coke! But before making her move she checks it out from another angle!

Part 2: FURgie is temporarily distracted from the glass of Coke...

FURgie the kitten gets temporarily distracted from my glass of Coke by an apparent incoming comment on her laptop by an anonymous poster on her blog! Kittens make great multi-taskers.

Part 1: Hmmmm...whatever will I do with this glass of Coke?!

All of that typing and TV watching makes little FURgie really thirsty! FURgie watched it for a while from every angle as she plotted her next move with my glass of Coke (and for FURgie, the glass is always full). This sequence of shots is hilarious, so stay tuned!
