Hello Hollywood! Think it's time for my Close-up?
No? Didn't think so. Me neither...at least not yet, anyway ;-D
Every night, since I can remember...and I'm almost 12 years old, I've greeted Daddy at the door upon his return from work, and often from any other outside excursion he takes, even if it's just to the mailbox.
It's a joyous occasion, with me purring, Daddy saying sweet nothings, and me dashing over to the bed, and rolling over, as Daddy comes over for a couple of minutes of belly rubbing, chin scratching, and general, gentle, loving, and tussling. ;-D
One recent October day was different, from the moment he opened the door, and caught me a bit by surprise.
Daddy was pointing that new toy of his, a Flip Camcorder, at me, and talking to me a little less sillier than usual, in his greeting.
This was so odd that I was a bit unsure what to do next, but finally settled on heading to the bed.
Things only got stranger from there as Daddy just kept pointing the Flip at me, and talking.
I finally figured out that the Flip was still a camera, even if it didn't flash, so realized that he was engaging in picture taking of a sort, which is something I enjoy imensely, so got into the spirit of the moment.
This finally got Daddy to give me some chin, and head rubbing, and that made all the fuss worth it.
Then I got a look at the video...
I don't know who comes across sillier in this thing, me or Daddy!
At least I look cute.
Not dignified, mind you, just cute. ;-D
Watch the video, rate it, and leave comments here, or on YouTube:
Nikita Cat's First Encounter With Camcorder Wielding Daddy
The follow-up went much better!
Upon my return from my Annual Physical, in November, Daddy immediately got the Flip Cam out.
I played along, and strutted my stuff around for a few minutes, and Daddy was happy.
I was really happy, though, to discover a treat of a portion of canned 100% Quail meat next to my water bowl!
He bought it at a really cool new Pet Shop he found in Belmont Shores, called Pussy and Pooch!
It was delicious!

Now that I understand what this YouTube stuff is all about, I'm going to work with Daddy, very closely, over the year, to bring the same combination of fun, seriousness, and dignity that I've always brought to my blogging to videos I appear in. ;-D
Looking good Nikita!
