Jasper meets blanket

After playing himself out, Jasper curled up with one of his favorite blankets.

I tucked him in and he just fell asleep that way, so I managed to grab my camera and get some pics.

He loves anything crocheted or terricloth (a.k.a. towels).

Hide and Seek (3 months old)

Sunday afternoon: A perfect time for hide and seek. And for looking out the windows. Why not combine the activities?

Jasper found a kitten sized crevice behind the couch/in the window sill.

The furtive beast evades his seeker...

Take that camera!

Discovery of the lens...

He likes to flirt with the camera.

I love the way that these photos in the sill have the reflection in the glass. In this one he's making his "tiger stance" with a touch of roar.

In the past few weeks he's gotten a lot bigger, his fur is filling in and getting darker, he still has his baby fur and fangs, so cute/soft, and his eyes are getting darker. We're speculating as to the final color. I think that they may be amber... but we'll see.

Jasper: at 9 weeks old

Here are some pics that I took of Jasper during his first week with us.

He located a convenient sunbeam.

Elegant pose.

His fur practically works like a flash. Very white.

I love this pic. This is the one that sold us all on this kitten.
He is 4 weeks old in these pictures.

He came from Orange City, Iowa/from the Big Dutch Cattery. He is a purebred Maine Coon.
