cats: objectively the best cat picture ever taken (& a couple of runnersup)

2025 05 01 15.29.24

[The bottom half of the photo is blurry, mottled grey and black; the top is mostly white, except for a small curled bit sticking up from the center of the bottom half. It’s an extreme closeup of the top of Major Tom’s head, with about the last five inches of his tail showing behind it.]

It’s so bad it went all the way around the circular scale & registered as ‘great’.

So’s this one:

[An extreme closeup of the bottom half of Tom’s face, blurry and elongated, above his chest and front legs. He’s standing on my lap, and I’m sitting in the drivers seat of the van. There’s a lot of whiskers going on.]

& the classic ‘alien’ shot

[Tom’s moved his head down enough to block most of his front, except for his toes. Most of his face is in the shot now; it’s elongated from being too close, again, and also his eyes are very wide, and he looks like the classic grey alien, just with tabby stripes and a pink nose. Also he’s staring directly into your soul.]

The rest are just your run-of-the-mill cute cat pictures, but they’re run-of-the-mill cute cat pictures of my tomcat, & that makes them better than anyone else’s.

[Tom’s sitting fairly comfortably on my lap, looking up at a sliver of something held over his head. I think it was some kind of lunchmeat.]

We were TRYING to get him to do something for the hypothetical hilarious pictures we would hypothetically get, but that didn’t happen, because he’s a cat. But these are pretty cute.

[Tom’s stretching his head up to reach the food item between my fingers, with the result that you can see the entire neck and chin. It’s a little stretched out, not as much as the alien face pic, but okay, it does still look kinda funny.]

Finally, the epitome of dignity.

[Tom’s curled up on top of my purse, between the van’s front seats. His purple bow tie has migrated to the back of his neck, as it often does.]

… that’s my tomcat.
