Tubby & Peanut's Mom

Ok, now you guys are in trouble. ;) I transferred most of my cat pictures to my computer here at work, so I've got them to share.
I mentioned yesterday that Tubby's eyes really glow when I use the flash. I tried to touch this one up using the "get rid of red eye" part of my picture program. This was my first attempt at getting rid of the red eye, and I don't think it looks *too* bad. :eek: If you don't look at it too closely, it looks pretty good, but then when you take a closer look, he kinda gets that "Scooter" look to his eyes. ;) (sorry Scooter!)
What he's sitting on is a box my dad made for him to make it easier for Tubby to get into bed with us. I've noticed in the last couple of years that his jumping abilities aren't what they used to be, and sometimes he "misses" when he's trying to get in bed with us. I feel so bad for him, that I asked my dad to make him a stool so he wouldn't have to jump so far. Well, my dad, being the creative one, came up with this. It's based on a child's block, with each side having a different cat picture on it. It's all wood with the cat pictures being wood "appliques" - not just painted on. I think he did an amazing job since all I asked for was a plain old stool. :D
I had two practice sessions with Tubby to show him what the block was for and how to use it, and being the fast learner that he is, he caught on right away and uses it every night now. I had taken this picture the night the box was delivered. Tubby was all over it, and I wanted to show my dad that Tubby appreciates his handiwork. :)
Anyway, it was the eyes that got me. :rolleyes:
