Well, I have to be honest: Wasabi *always* looks that way (and he's almost always sitting just like this) unless you're dangling raw meat in front of him. Then he tries very hard to look cute; he fails epically, but gets the meat anyway.
I think Carlito and Easter see the camera and just let all their natural kitty contempt bleed out through their expressions, although 'lito has had a pretty badass cranky expression ever since he was a kitten. Easter, otoh, is the biggest ball of cute and adorable until there's a camera around.
Lol!!! Your description cracked me up. Cats love books, right?! For some reason, posing for their humans and silly snaps is just not their thing. Archie refuses to cooperate for pics, almost the same as if I'd put him in a dress.
lol, thanks! He actually has a stupidly huge full-on lion's mane that's utterly gorgeous for about 5 seconds, until he tries to clean it, it gets stuck in his mouth, and then he drools all over it. For this reason, we have to keep the mane trimmed way back and he ends up with the biker beard instead. :)
Most days he acts like one too... for example, he prefers his water 'on draft'. He goes and sits by the sink and howls - loudly - until someone goes in there to turn on the tap for him. He's going to be demanding we pick out the green bits from his cat treats next. :P
Maybe http://www.petfountain.com ? (One f mine must be part raccoon, we have to keep an extra bowl of water out for him to splash paws around in or he spoils the other cats' drinking water; he wn't drink until finishes attacking whatever imaginary terrors he thinks are in the water -- yes, a rescue.)
We've tried the fountains before with varying degrees of success; they're just a pain to keep clean. I have found one recently that's all stainless steel and looks quite simple with four little fountains of water spouting out, but man! was it expensive!
If I'm outside watering the garden, the Ginger Ninja will come and pester me until I let him drink from the hose pipe. And if I'm using the watering-can he'll drink from that as well. I think he gets more water than the plants.
:D - they are all three complete fluff balls, I swear. Easter would very much like for everyone to think she's a badass, and if Wasabi gets too close she proclaims her badassery loudly at excruciatingly high pitch, but as soon as anyone knocks on the door, they all run and hide under the furniture.
Awwww. Finally getting a chance to come & check out the kittehs. Your cat (upper corner) has a heart shaped nose!! Too cute. And I finally get to see your Ragdoll, Carlito. He does look like an old softy. We have four rulers of the realm. One day I'll get around to posting. You've got great kitties. I lerv cats!!
