The Buns is Back!

My new camera arrived in the mail this week! I was so excited, I spent several days wearing it and gathering new pictures. Here is a picture taken by Noe of me wearing my new Kitty Cam:

I spent most of my first day wearing my new camera in the sun room. It's my favorite room in the house, and has the best light for photography (the Kitty Cam does not, unfortunately, have a flash). I had to get the feel of wearing my camera back - I haven't taken any pictures for a long time!

These  were my practice photos to get me back in the swing of things. Good kitty photography takes a lot of practice and you get a lot more bad shots than good ones, so it will probably take a few more tries for my talents to really start to shine through again. In the meantime, enjoy, and check back frequently!

 

Snake Eyes

OK, this is kind of a cheat post because I did not take these photos. But I've been too busy to blog because Ralph and I have been busy with our pet snake! His name is Joban (named by Amy and Noe after the hit comedy I Love You, Man).

Joban!

Noe found Joban in our backyard. He rescued him from the jaws of Big Head and Blackie (two kitties who hang out under our bushes - Ralph and I don't like them very much!) Noe thought it would be funny to bring Joban inside and surprise Amy when she got home from work, because Amy loves snakes in her house (read her blog to find out about our last pet snake).

Ralphie loves snakes.

We put Joban in a tupperware container with holes in the top and had fun pushing him aorund the kitchen. I got bored after awhile, but Ralph kept at it all night, until Amy finally told Noe that Joban had to sleep in the sun room. The next day, Noe let Joban go because he didn't think we could feed him.

I get distracted by the camera.

I hope Blackie and Big Head don't eat our pet! Here's a video of me and Ralph with Joban.

Meet The Buns

Hello. My name is Sunny, but everyone calls me The Buns. Why Buns, you ask? Well, when I was a kitten, I was so soft that my dad (Noe) started calling me "Sunny Bunny", which eventually got shortened to "Bunny" and then my mom (Amy) started calling me "The Buns".

I was rescued as a small orphaned kitten and taken to the Ann Arbor Cat Clinic with my four brothers and sisters. Here we are shortly after our arrival - I am the orange and white one looking at the camera:


One of the girls at the clinic, Kristen, thought we were SO cute that she sent our picture to her sister, Amy, who sent it to her boyfriend, Noe...and within a week of the picture being sent, Noe came and got not only me, but my brother Ralphie (the tan kitten in the front of the basket). Now we live with Amy and Noe in Connecticut.

Even though she doesn't get to see us very often, Kristen still likes to get us fun stuff to play with. This year, she gave us a Pet's Eye View camera! Amy and Noe can put the camera on my collar and set it to take pictures at certain time intervals. I get to wear the camera because I am a good girl and ignore it, while Ralph tries to kick it, bite it, and just mess with it in general. Here is a picture of me wearing my camera:


Because I have already taken so many good pictures with my camera, Amy set me up a website to show off the best ones. We will update it whenever we get good photos.

Get ready to see the Buns-Eye view!

These are some photos from the first night I wore my camera, January 2, 2009.

This is the TV room window as seen from my favorite spot on Noe's lap.

There will be new photos posted tomorrow!
