I use the fact that I can't add photobucket to a work pc as a way of hiding that I don't really have any cats!

Not true! Here are Dawn's cats

Cheese is a 'tiny' - she does seem to have gotten a little bigger over the past year or so, but still smaller than the others

She looks stunned; is that her usual expression? Bless the teeny girl!

Awww I love Maisey - has she got a black nose?

Yes, she is the strangest cat and the strangest colour....When she was young she looked like a grey and white tabby, now her fur is like black smoke and white tabby!

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!

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!

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!

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

3. Remove kitty from bin and brush coffee grounds from muzzle.

4. Choose a suitable background for photo.

5. Mount camera on tripod and focus.

6. Find kitty and take dirty sock from mouth.

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

8. Forget about spot and crawl after kitty on knees.

9. Focus with one hand and fend off kitty with other hand.

10. Get tissue and clean nose print from lens.

11. Put dog outside after disengaging kitty's claws.

12. Put magazines back on coffee table.

13. Try to get kitty's attention by squeaking toy over your head.

14. Replace your glasses and check camera for damage.

15. Jump up in time to grab kitty by scruff of neck and say, "No, not in the potted plants!"

16. Clean up mess.

17. Sit back in chair with lemonade and resolve to take 'candid' shots instead.

Or:

How to Photograph a New Kitty

1. Remove film from box and load camera.

2. Regain control of the camera. Wrap strap so it doesn't dangle.

3. Stop kitty from scratching couch.

4. Choose a suitable background for photo.

5. Mount camera on tripod and focus.

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.

10. Get bandaids for catnip hand.

12. Pick yourself up and check for broken bones.

13. Try to get kitty's attention with fur mousie.

16. Bring kitty back to chosen spot for one more try.

17. Quickly snap shots of blurred fur.

18. Sit back in chair with lemonade and resolve to stick to still life and scenic shots.

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

Yep, the one of Old Mog on the calendar says it all about her.....

Fantastically regal whiskers!! He looks like King Edward (you know - the bloke off the cigar box!!)

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!
