My cat [Wowbagger](http://i.imgur.com/w5kBbPb.jpg), recharging for the coming night.

Some have expressed concern over his charging status when the photo was taken, due to the red and green lights being on simultaneously. But he seems fully charged now.

I have a similar pic of my daughter’s giant orange cat, which I labelled a headshot for its audition for the YouTube production of “Kittens of the Damned.”

Optimistically named, but sadly I really don’t think he will be infinitely prolonged.

I’d never have a cat the same color as the floor. An invitation to disaster.

We had a charging port installed on the roof of our old house.

Solarcat charges his lazers in an environmentally responsible fashion.

For a minute there I thought you might be introducing a new Michael Nesmith album. 😉

Nonagonally-prolonged would be more in-character, and quite sufficient I should think. 😉

Although similarly adorable, I don’t think our [Freya](http://i.imgur.com/LZhdD0Q.jpg) would be friends with Wowbagger. She’s solar-powered. In this photo, she’s actually charging \*my \*phone!

Freya is impressively fluffy.

All the kitties posted in this thread are cuties, and I hope their humans will give them extra cuddles on my behalf. 🙂

Is Wowbagger bellying up to a heating vent, or is there a small rodent in there?

The bicolor eye display is most impressive.

I thought he was below the fridge waiting for scraps to fall.
