3-D WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: COMING SOON!

DYLAN: HATUS MANUS CANUS IN LATE NOVEMBER

Dylan's still sporting a 'Movember Mustache' except this time he's dyed it red to go with his outfit of the day.

With winter coming, Dylan thought he'd get a 'rust treatment' (rather than an anti-rust treatment, you see).  So, there he is in his rust felt fedora with a rust plaid tie.  And he's put on one of his very best watches, a Roger Dubuis 'La Monegasque' Chronograph.

As usual, Dylan is keeping an eye out for any threats nearby.  He is so intent on looking elsewhere that he hasn't noticed that sneaky little pilFURer at his feet.  By the time he did notice, it was too late because the 'rodent robber' was too far away, already wearing his watch as a belt around its waist!

"Now I gots his booty on MY booty -- snort, snort!" says the pickpocket.

"Yoo ever heer a 'Slim Pickens'? Well, I'm his long lost cousin -- Paunchy."

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY IN LATE NOVEMBER

Domino's feeling a little 'rusty' today, but I'm sure she'll get right back in the swing of things.  After all, she is a PURRo!

On this bright late November day, Domino is wearing a rust-coloured fascinator with sheer, tinted 'rustic' wings.  Her sterling necklace is made of bedazzling fire opals, shell and pearl; her bracelet of Scottish agate.

She has selected an unusually-shaped rust suede and black leather handbag to go with the outfit.  The zigzag design and tassles, along with the alligator clasp make it rather unique.

However, Domino only has eyes for the birdie -- a little chickadee that stopped to admire her attire.

"Yoor a chick-a-D an' so am I!", says Domino.  "'Cept I'm a cat-chick an' yoor a bird-chick.

We 'chicks' gotta stick togeddah."

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DYLAN: "GETTIN' JIGGY WIF IT!"

DOMINO: IT'S A "NO GO"!

Domino likes to take her time doing things.  It can be annoying when you're holding the door waiting for her to go out, or even worse to come back in!

These pictures are shown in the order that they were actually taken.  So you can see that she intended to jump down from the neighbour's porch and then hesitated before lingering even longer.

"Domino, I hate to tell you, but I think this disqualifies you from ever becoming
 a 'Go-Go Girl'.



"Dat's wot YOO fink, Mama -- Groovy!!!"

DANTE AND DYLAN: CROSSING PATHS

Here are Dante and Dylan in the back yard in November of 2010.  I have applied a Watercolour Pencil effect to the photo.  I find that it brings out the finer details, and enhances the light and shadow.

These two try their best not to cross each other, but sometimes it becomes a necessity, especially if you want to get somewhere fast!

"Yoo duzn't hasta lead ME down da garden path", says Dylan to Dante. 

 "I kin get dere all by myself!"

DYLAN: HATUS MANUS CATUS IN MID-NOVEMBER

Dylan's on the PURRowl in the back yard.  He thinks he's sufficiently disguised so that the squirrels won't go nuts when they see him.

For the hunt, Dylan is sporting a yellow/gold woven flatcap, and a brown bowtie with little multi-coloured bowties on it.  Why it's the bowtie of all bowties -- See!

And Dylan is wearing his Radillon watch with a gold face and brown dials, and a brown suede band so he can approach this thing in a timely manner.

However, since spotting the squirrel he is frozen in place, so as not to alert it with the rustling of leaves.  I wonder how long he's going to stand there like that!

It seems to be a "Mexican standoff" because the squirrel is glued to the spot, too.

This thing is going nowhere fast!

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY IN MID-NOVEMBER

Domino is looking very elegant today.  She's waiting for her ride to go off shopping downtown. Gotta find more hats and bags you know!  It's hard to keep up -- or dare I say -- keep ahead of fashion.

For today's shopping sPURRee, Domino has selected an asymmetrical beige woven hat adorned with curved dark brown pheasant feathers.  They almost look like braids, don't they?  Her handbag is a brown leather 'Louis Vuitton' with beige leather handles and trim which she previously got on sale. Domino doesn't like to pay full price for anything.

For her jewellery, Domino picked out this burnished antique gold and pearl necklace with lavaliere pendant. In the center of the pendant is a brilliant red ruby.  Her bracelet is also gold and pearls, and completes her sophistiCATed fashion statement.

I can't wait to see what Domino buys next.  She generally has such good taste, but I must say that ...

... sometimes her fashion choices are downright 'fruity'!

DYLAN: NEVER WEARY OF BEING WARY

It's been a lovely day outside and Dylan is taking full advantage.

For most of us when we take a bit of rest and relaxation, we let our guard down.  But Dylan's attentive stare shows that even in this compromising position, he's ready to leap into action at a moment's notice.

Nothing can get in the way of Dylan's PURRpetual vigilence!

"I gots my eye on yoo day an' nite" says he.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DOMINO: ABSOLUTELY UNBE-LEAF-ABLE!!!

DOMINO: BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL GREEN EYES!

Domino's eyes, especially at the center, are the most vivid green.

She can't help but make anyone else green, too (with envy, that is).

"Jus' keepin' my eyes on da PURRize!" says she.

DYLAN IS HATUS MANUS CATUS FOR 'MOVEMBER'

'Movember' is all about men promoting men's health issues and awareness by growing mustaches in the month of November.

Dylan is doing his part on behalf of mancats, as well.

So today, Dylan's most important accessory is his awesome mustache.  He has used his 'Mr. Bear" mustache wax to exPURRtly curl the ends of it.  He looks quite dashing with a mustache, n'est-ce-PAW?

His dark brown straw fedora and brown paisley bowtie are fitting accompaniments to his mustachioed countenance.  His classy Longines watch with dark brown leather band adds the final finishing touch.

So men get checked out with your doctors, and mancats with your vets, to ensure a long and healthy lifetime.

And Dylan waxes not only his mustache, but also waxes poetic when he says:

"Once yoor mustache-full

You'll feel much less bashful

So don't hem an' haw

Go see yoor doctah!"

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY'S BELEAF SYSTEM

Domino's style sense knows no bounds!

Here she is in a brown straw cloche hat with red band decorated with rust-coloured feathers.  Her silver necklace is 'charming' indeed adorned with both plain and patterned red-glass beads; the red bracelet is an acrylic creation.

Once again she has made an unusual choice for her handbag which is a rucksack-style patchwork in grays, browns and reds.  It 'ties' everything together, don't you think?

If you don't have fashion sense, but want to make sense out of fashion, just 'leaf' it up to Domino to show you the way.

"Beleaf it or not!"

DANTE AND DOMINO: KEEPING A SECRET

Here's a shot of Dante and Domino from November of 2009.  What a beautiful day!  The sun is shining, but there's an air of mystery about.

Can you spot the ... 

... "Secret Squirrel" ???

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DANTE & DYLAN: LOOK BOTH WAYS!

DYLAN: HATUS MANUS CATUS IN EARLY NOVEMBER

Dylan has been asking why I haven't been posting pictures of him in hats lately.  I didn't really have a good answer, so here he is in all his hatted glory!  After all mancats deserve hats, too.

Dylan is wearing a tan and white-striped flatcap.  The warm tones meld well with his fur coat.  And his bowtie, in earthtones, really adds to the whole effect.

Show-off that he is, Dylan is wearing his gold Rolex with rust-brown leather strap.  It's usually something he saves for special occasions, but then I guess this is one, as it represents the rebirth of his modelling career.

Looking on is a sweet little chickadee.  The cooler tempurratures don't seem to deter them from making friendly visits.

"I like Dylan cuz he's a D an' so is me -- a chicka-D dat is!"

DOMINO: HATTY CATTY IN EARLY NOVEMBER

Domino's out front enjoying a beautiful sunny November day.  These are fairly rare where we live, so eking out every drop of sunshine is a necessity at this time of year.

Domino is wearing a black linen wide-brimmed hat with leopard-print band to shield her eyes from the sun.  And her leopard satchel with black leather trim is a perfect match to her hapurrdashery.

In keeping with the 'big cat' theme, Domino's necklace is gold with a black-and-gold lion pendant studded with three diamonds.  Her gold lion cuff bracelet only reinforces her genetic link to the Family Felidae.

Domino is an example of how felines have evolved over the years into the very sophisticated animals they are today.  She has taken the best of her domesticated attributes (i.e., her modelling abilities) and combined them with her basic familial instincts.  As they say:

 

DANTE AND DOMINO ON A BUSHWHACKING EXPEDITION!

Dante and Domino are out in the 'bush'.

They have spied some prey and are keen to 'whack' it!

DYLAN ON DEFENCE

As you will know if you follow this blog, Dylan is constantly on the defensive.

Being 'on the fence' doesn't just mean you're indecisive.  It can also be a defensive PAWSture taken while sitting on 'de fence'!  At least Dylan likes to look at it (and you) this way.

"Doan come any closah!" commands he or ...

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: THE 3-Ds FALL FOR STEAMPUNK!
