Posted by Michael Skorulski (Cigel, Slovakia) on 11 July 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
This is the beginning of a series of photos about a trip to Bojnice Castle and Spa in Slovakia. The trip got off to a bad start when my wife suddenly screamed as we were heading out the door. She had discovered kitty crushing the blooms in one of her favorite pots of flowers. I snapped a picture, not the most helpful course of action in my wife's opinion.

how darling! i love naughty kitties! but oh dear -- they do love to bat the springy blossoms though... your poor wife! :( there is no wonder he picked this bunch of flowers -- they are brilliant blue, and so captivating! what fun! excellent pic! he does look quite subdued here... he must have heard the scream! :(

@dj.tigersprout: Heard the scream and saw a huge hulking figure snapping a strange device in his face. A delightful comment, Jaycee. thank you.

Magnificent, I love cats, she's soooo adorable, she can eat my flowers anytime, or herbs or spices or anything she pleases...I spoil my 3 cats...tell the Mrs I apologize for my part in it ;)

@Rui Borges: Thank you, Rui.
This is so sweet, a little prince/ss surounded by flowers. A beautiful shot. With that look s/he would have to have been forgiven for squashing the flowers :)

@MaryB: Yes, you are right. Thank you, Mary.
Haha, very cute kitten! Love it!
These poor plants!

@MadScientist: Exactly my wife's reaction. thanks, MS.
So cute, Michael! With the kitten coming out of the flowers like that it certainly feels like he/she is back in the wild, stalking prey! The fact that your wife screamed and they only action you could muster was to take a photo is just icing on the cake :0) Thanks for sharing.

@Tracey: Thanks, Tracey. glad you enjoyed it.
I would tell your wife that I thought you did a good job "capturing" it. The kitty almost seemed to know it would get its picture taken...a great pose with colorful surroundings.

@Steven: Thanks, Steven. Great comment.
Too cure, Michael! An adorable kitten and a great photo... I would have grabbed the camera instead of the kitten, also! :-)

@akarui: Thank you, Akarui.
To the Kitty: "Kitty,Kitty, You're so pretty! Wetty nose and Naughty eyes.... Were you looking for some mice? OR...the flowers smelled so nice You forgot about your size?" I love the Kitty, but.....I'd get as mad if it entered my flower pots!
