Can you believe how innocent and pure she can look?

How about demure?

Fine - How about demanding and bossy?

Yes, all of these pictures were taken within minutes of each other. Apparently, the flash disturbed Her Highness and she demanded to go outside for some peace and quiet.

Our weather continues to be unseasonably warm.  In fact, we still have not had any measurable snow fall, very late compared to any year we can remember.  But the gorgeous weather (well, not gorgeous by Siberian standards, but the humans seem to like it) sure makes for a terrific long weekend.  We were running errands and the hu-dad was giving us a water break when Natasha went in to her “I want that right now” stare.

Intensity

That stare is very hard to ignore and she did not move at all despite the offers of water, the hu-dad getting out his camera, and the hu-dad taking pictures of her.  So what had her attention?  The easiest way to figure that out is to use her ears to line up the scene.

Using the ears as a target finder.

Can you see it?  The object of her focus?  Well, let’s zoom in a little and see if we can figure things out.

Bullseye. Or is that Catseye?

Somehow, we do not think that Natasha has the “Zim-like” qualities of, well, Zim.  But the cat sure seemed to understand that The Herd was safely seat belted into the Jeep.
