The Subjectivity of Shame: Butt-Sniffing

I'll let you decide. 













So what is it: shame or proper handshake etiquette? ☺



P.S. Maddox is full of all kinds of wisdom, isn't he?

P.P.S. The "lost" kitty is now called "Bertie" (or more formally, "George Albert"), only he isn't really lost, because he (and his two littermates, who were taken into shelter by another - not me - concerned citizen) was apparently left here-in my neighborhood-on purpose. :-( So, all of my "found kitten" flyers have been taken down, and now we shift to finding a permanent home for Mr. Squirty Bertie (who is, other than the trashcan-diving and counter-surfing, the sweetest little bug ever!). I'll just leave it at that - for now. In other words: I am a MESS, dang it! Humph.

P.P.P.S. Happy hump day. :-)

  2. Bertie was very smart to sniff out your house, firm handshake aside. :)

    He's awfully adorable. Good luck finding him a good home.

  5. The last photo with Maddox reminds me of CSI: Miami.

    Horatio Cane: "Some would call that..." "...a firm handshake."

    YEAHHHHH!

    2. That's great, I can completely picture it! (Except Maddox is much cuter than Horatio Cane)

  7. You should check out a similar sniffing video I put on my dog's blog...you would love it! Hoping the kitty finds a good home (but I really hope that you keep him!)

  8. Love the captions...only you. Yet why do I need Benadryl every time I look at one of your posts? Stupid allergies.

  10. LOL Makes me realize I have no clue about proper cat greeting. But I think we should all embrace the diversity in saying hi.

  11. Proper handshake for a dog, rude invasion of privacy for a cat. Ozzy gets the dogs back by headbutting them hard in the eyes.
