The nose!

such lip control ! Usyaka is a real “string artist”
Hehe, that sounds funny
That last should be in an illustration of Dante’s Inferno, or a woodcut in a vampire story.
Wow! Thank you!
This cat is ‘OMG’ gorgeous
WOW! Give him/her a big purrrrry hug from me and my 2
she is so compelling, Alexandra! and a little funny, that nose-sharpener. did you laugh the first time you saw her doing that?!
Hi, Laurel! The first time I saw it, I thought her paw got stuck, so I “helicoptered” to help her but then I noticed she was, in fact, operating the string to wash herself or scratch her nose. I was shocked. Soviet school taught us that only humans were able to use objects as tools. Of course, I discovered later it wasn’t so, but still, I have lots of respect for animals who can use tools to get something for themselves. I think I felt very proud of her at that moment
Oh I know what you mean, I think, about helicoptering to help. !!
Isn’t that a bit of a surprise to discover that our teachers maybe were makin’ stuff up instead of making wider observations about the world?!
From time to time, I reread your description of the characteristics of the oriental cat and so am not surprised at her antics, just delighted! What a SMART cat! Watch out or she’ll be running the household! Hmmm…. they’re very good at **making us** give them treats… >:-D
Close nose. My favorite!
Yay, then I’m even happier I took this photo
Hee hee, I love it! The last picture made me bounce around a little at the sheer cuteness of it all! I could never tire of looking at these beautiful photos you take of her
Thank you, Anna! I really appreciate you like the photos so much. It inspires
Sweetheart!
I just fell in love. Again. Again with oriental cats.
I’ve saved in favorites a lot of Usyaka’s faces to answer on some questions in skype chats. For example:
- Hey, what do you listen to me?
- Yes. Very interesting. http://usyaka.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/usyaka_funny_face_in_camera.jpg?w=640&h=426 Very.
