Post by: Mark on March 22, 2009, 00:23:18 AM: I don't even remember taking this but it is recent - it really is how Kylie looks to me in reality if that makes sense?

Edit - I do remember taking it now :evillaugh: - Kylie is a sultry girl :Luv2:

Oh James - Mog's a laydee doncha know! ;) (It's alright, I won't tell her!) She does have awesome whiskers; they've been dubbed fairy whiskers at our house after a friend called them that and it stuck.

Rosella, must be something about white smudges under noses - Old Mog's like that too. Leigh, love the picture and the slogan!

Post by: Wibblechick on March 23, 2009, 12:09:05 PM: Lucky RIP (my daughters cat) - King of all he surveyed - lying on the sofa where I used to live

He was top cat, pampered to within and inch of his life towards the end and he deserved every bit of it. A truly sweet natured cat, he would make all our "fosters" feel at home - im sure he showed them around, just as if he was Lord of the Manor, and helped them settle in :Luv2:

How to Photograph a New Kitty

4. Choose a suitable background for photo.

6. Spend 1/2 hour finding kitty, who says this is taking too long & he's bored.

7. Place kitty in pre-focused spot and return to camera.

8. Observe lovely shot of kitty washing own posterior. Restore kitty to sitting position.

9. Focus with one hand and toss catnip with the other hand.

Post by: Liz on March 23, 2009, 21:36:46 PM: Just a couple of the Clan Cats

Nothing unusual this is a kitten photograph of Miss Nortie Tortie Beijing who was the soul survivor of Gems litter - Gem died from FIP and Beijing is a Corona virus carrier - Archie the little white and black soul was used as a football and has some brain damage but together they are our youngest feline members of the Clan cats, much loved and wanted and for all the picture shows just a couple of cute kittens as they were meant to be - they are also the saucer terrorists in the morning nicking anything their paws can aquire of the older cats! :Luv:

The second photo is one of my Black hand rears Cougar he is now nearly 4 and thinks I am his mother totally he is always by my side and only tolerates his daddy! :shocked: :Luv2:

Also showing is Blue a feral I named whilst waiting to hand him over for his op at the vets - he had never had human interaction and ended up with major surgery after finding a major hernia and one ball up inside he has now been inside thanks to my soft touch of a husband so much for TNR and loves the cats and the dogs, the breakfast saucer in the morning, cat milk its just the humans that pander to him that are the issue! :Crazy:

The pohoto's show Blue coming home after surgery and then 2 months in to lfe at the Clan Cats homestead :shocked:

Title: Re: Have you got a photo that catches the essence of a cat?
Post by: Janeyk on March 25, 2009, 21:23:53 PM: awwww Tibby :Luv: he/she? was a fantastic age! We've only had Byron 3 years this year Mary, her owners thought she was the boy and her brother the girl so they kept the wrong names, she has a cauliflower ear from ear problems in the past.
Byron says thanks for the lovely comments, I keep asking what her secret is Gillian but she's not letting on ;)
Title: Re: Have you got a photo that catches the essence of a cat?
Post by: maryas on March 25, 2009, 21:28:35 PM: Bet you wish you'd had her longer. My mum and dad got Tibby from the RSPCA when I was 2 months old and she was probably about the same. Wish I had more photos of her but no digital cameras in them days.

Hope you have her for many more happy years.

Aww both Stars are gorgeous :Luv: :Luv:

:Luv: Byron little face, i love her nose and her ear :Luv2: She is so sweet. Janey you never said why she ended up in wood green, did some thing happen to her owners?

Thanks Pav :) from what I remember her elderly owner(s) went into hospital/rented accommodation and her and her brother were taken to Wood Green, her brother died shortly after and Byron was there about 4 years until we adopted her. She slept nearly the whole 3 and half hours home and settled in as if she'd always lived here :Luv:

When I asked they said that both Byron and Jim weren't that bothered with the other cats, just sort of did their own thing, I don't think they shared the same hut either. We had to go and sort of give Byron a nudge, she was in her bed and I can still remember now Jim walking towards the kitchen area :Luv2:

One of the few pictures of Chilli that actually look like her, if you get my meaning. The stretching in an "I own you" sort of way is her all over!

Dave the rave has two sides that are his essence. First is the smoochy mummy's boy, he just loves his Meowmy :Luv: Second is his naughty, motivated by food at all times side, seen here breaking into the treat cupboard and stuffing his face!
