at least once a day on my Marcia Leeder Photography page on Facebook i post an image that makes me smile, laugh hysterically or go “awwwwwwwww”. it’s usually from a recent shoot or from the daily adventures of my gang. i thought it would be a fun idea to round-up all the images into one…
Archie loves water. okay wait a minute…that’s an understatement…Archie is obsessed with water! he loves to drink it, play with it and allow it to soak him silly. he could sit for hours in the sink waiting for the next drip to blissfully christen him from the tap. anytime i enter the kitchen to do…
I swear, that I am falling in love with Archie (and I’ve never been a big cat person because I’m a big dog person) because he’s the sweetest, cutest, most amusing little ginger kitty I’ve ever seen! Keep those videos coming!
P.S. I’ve seen other cats who loved running water from the tap too but I’ve never owned my own cat because I’m allergic to them. 
My little orange guy loves water too. He does many of the same things as Archie and also loves when I put ice cubes in his water dish. We did it a few times during the heat wave and he turned the room into a slip and slide! He also has a habit of getting into his fountain water dish, though now that he’s too big to really get in he seems content to just rub up against it. So adorable!
Oy… we’ve got three water kitties at our house!
Ming (a 14 year old black DSH/Siamese mix, who is missing an eye- our pirate kitty!) LOVES all dripping water. He even turns the faucet on in the kitchen, which is why we now have to turn off underneath when we leave the house. *rolls eyes*
Then, because my husband refuses to listen to me & feels sorry for him, he gets catered to every morning when Sam “waters” the cats, and he taught this lovely habit to our two newest additions- Felix, a 2 year old orange & white tabby, and Sawyer a 4 month old tabby & white orphan.
Sawyer likes water enough that she will now climb in the shower with me! So apparently the newer generation will be continuing these habits!
My Sophie used to watch the faucet drip and talk to it. My current “litter” of four adult kittens were raised in my old bathroom with leaky faucets, and MUST drink every day from the bathroom sink: http://portraitsofanimals.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/on-st-patricks-day-drink-straight-from-the-tap/ and http://portraitsofanimals.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/droplets-flying/. They all spend time in the sink, tub and bathroom in general waiting for drops to happen: http://www.bernadette-k.com/photography/photo-bathroomkitties.html, but it’s Jelly Bean who makes a profession of it, coaxing me upstairs after breakfast and being as cute as possible so I can hardly resist (sometimes I make him wait so I can enjoy his cuteness for as long as possible): http://bernadettesmarketplace.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/two-favorite-photos-on-greeting-cards-and-more/ (scroll down)
my last cat titian, also an orange short-haired tabby also loved water; he would drink from and play with the slow stream / dripping faucet … endless enjoyment! during his last year or so, he started playing with the water in his water bowl, slapping at it, making a real mess, and licking the water off his paw instead of drinking straight from the bowl … i have some action shots of him doing that in his final month. : )
my 6-month old purr man just experienced his first Christmas and New Year’s. unfortunately i couldn’t be at home with the cats on Christmas day, so i brought a little of the holidays back to them in two overflowing garbage bags. i emptied the bags onto the living room floor and made a cat’s dream…
OMG these are all priceless. He really does look like he’s off his rocker with excitement.
I absolutely LOVE all of these!!!!
LLLLOOOOOOOVE them ALLLLL!!!! And the commentary- hilarious! Keep ‘em coming!

many of you may already know the story of how i met my hilarious kitten Archie. for those of you who are new to the blog, you can check out the tale of my purr-man along with his litter mates in the Riverdale Gang post. i have been in contact with the family who adopted…
Adorable! I love the light in your photos Marcia!
Actually, on 2nd look, Reggie has a longer face and is distinguishable, but Moose and Archie sure are similar!
How do you know you got the right cat back, they all look so alike!
I love them all, but the last one & the one where he’s looking out the window are perfect!
I once had two of my pitbulls tunnel into a mattress when I left them to their own devices for a half hour! They were both inside it when I arrived home! I’ll never forget the “Look what we did!” looks on their faces! Ha ha!

Oh my goodness Marcia they are so great! I love them all! The last one is so cute how we’re both looking out the window 
And Moose looks so grown up in these pictures
okay…so yes, the title is a play on a popular SNL spoof, but that’s where the similarities end. enjoy a little comic strip of Archie‘s sneak attack on Cameron. Happy Friday!
