#fessermakesfaces

by Kaylah Stroup

Something that has been missing from the blog for a while is pet photos. I used to post them constantly. While there is still a fair share of them on my instagram account, most of them never make their way to the blog. I recently created a hashtag for Professor Stingray because I tend to post a certain kind of photo of him quite often. It’s #fessermakesfaces, and it’s full of the ridiculous faces he makes. Most are post yawn, or mid chirp but some are just plain silly faces I happen to catch with the camera. He’s the most expressive little critter I’ve ever met. At the risk of sounding like a total cat lady (which I am, it’s literally tattooed on my knuckles) he’s the funniest “person” I know. Not a day goes by that this little dude doesn’t make me laugh.

In the nearly six years this little rascal has been in my life not too much other than his fur color has changed with him. He’s always been this rambunctious little cat that’s just full of personality. While browsing for old photos of him, I found the diptych below from 2010. Apparently I’ve always thought his yawn face was hilarious.

Even though it’s easy enough to browse his hashtag over on instagram I thought this little dude needed his own blog post. These photos crack me up, I hope they brighten your day as well.

from 2010. Those tiny teeth!!!

PS. If you need more cuteness in your life, here’s the very first time I posted about him – “a new addition” I can’t even handle the cuteness!

Hooray for Professor: he's the best 🙂

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:30 am

He certainly is! 😀

I love cats and I know their behaviour well. But the moments you took photos of his face, makes him look like he's mostly smiling or laughing 😀

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:30 am

Haha! If it's laughing, it's definitely evil laughter.

The one of him sitting on the couch is so perfect. Cat yawns crack me up 🙂

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:31 am

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is one of my all time favorite photos ever!

Wow! Those beautiful fangs 😀
a dandy vampire …but maybe sometimes he smiles when you are not with a camera in your hand?

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:32 am

Clearly he smiles when I have a camera in my hand too! 😛

My cat Uzi has some great vampire "toofs" (as we call them) as well. Ha ha!

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:33 am

Hehe!

Oh my god, this is the most adorable thing I've seen all day! Professor is so expressive :p

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:33 am

He really is! I wish everyone could get to meet him. He's seriously so so so funny.

Laura March 31, 2016 - 2:55 pm

Wow, I never realized how much siamese cats change color as they grow until you got Professor Stingray!

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:34 am

Yeah, I had no idea either! I probably wouldn't even believe it if I didn't have so many photos of him throughout his life. It seems like he's still getting darker too!

Libby March 31, 2016 - 4:54 pm

Loved this post! The professor is way too adorable and the photos are all great!

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:35 am

Hehe, thanks! 😀

Izzy March 31, 2016 - 5:42 pm

He looks so grumpy in a lot of the photos, super cute though <3

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:35 am

Right? He reminds me of a grumpy old man!

Love these photos. Your cat is adorable 🙂 I saw this today and immediately thought of you (you've probably already seen it):

Hah! That's awesome.

Katy Coffee March 31, 2016 - 7:24 pm

The cutest! My favorite 'faces' that Steel makes are those in which he's upside down cause his big ol' great dane lips just hang all floopy!!!

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:36 am

Oh geez, I know that face! Love those big dane lips! 😀

Sammi April 1, 2016 - 12:29 am

Aww, I love these (and have always really enjoyed your pet photos)! Cats have so much personality, don't they? They really are like little furry people. I think those who have never been around cats tend to think of them as very aloof and devoid of personality, but my cat's a total clown! I adore the hashtag, too!

Exactly, and I can understand it to an extent. My cats aren't too big on company. When people are over, they hide but when it's just me and Jeff or my family they're just little balls of personality! I wish everyone could get to see what I see in my cats (and then everyone would want cats and there would be no more in shelters! woooo! 😛 )

emmi / emerentus April 1, 2016 - 9:26 am

He's so precious! 😀 Pets are the greatest<3 My bunny cracks me up daily too. You wouldn't necessarily think so but he has a very expressive face.

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:42 am

I can believe it! 🙂

heidigraceblogs April 1, 2016 - 10:49 am

he's adorable!! is he a seal point Siamese or a chocolate Siamese?
I have a blue point and a lilac Siamese and they are the most talkative cats I've ever met haha

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:43 am

No idea! He was a stray that my parents found in their driveway (which is in the middle of the woods)

Kaylah April 1, 2016 - 11:43 am

But yes, this little dude NEVER shuts up!

Adrienne Woods April 1, 2016 - 6:40 pm

This literally just made my day better. Haha thank you

Jess Cohen April 2, 2016 - 1:21 am

Oh man, I can't believe how darker he has gotten in comparison to when he was a kitty. He's super cute and I need something like him in my life. <3
