Art Imitating Life Imitating Art

Last August and September, when I was unemployed and trying to find ways not to accidentally fall wrist-first on a set of steak knives, I drew a lot of MS Paint pictures of my cat.  I was especially proud of this one, because it so perfectly captured the essence of Ajax.

 

Thursday morning as I was eating breakfast, I happened to have my phone in my hand when I noticed Ajax in this very compromising position.  He's not always easy to photograph, because he's kind of extremely skittish and usually runs away if he notices you approaching him with a foreign object.  But he was pretty enraptured with his nether-regions so I made some photographic magic happen.  I feel like I just captured a photo of Sasquatch or the Loch Ness Monster.  What has been legend is now indisputable fact:

He glanced up just as I took the picture, but I think it's perfectly clear what was going on here just moments earlier.

Have a great weekend, internet friends!  We are considering going down to the Utah State Fair tonight, because the rodeo is free with admission, and there's a traveling sea lion show (in the middle of the desert, which isn't weird and doesn't smack of animal cruelty at all).  So if that happens, expect a glorious post to follow in which I reveal how shameless and insensitive I am by displaying photos I took of the human spectacle.
