Cats

A picture of my cat. He's always willing to pose for my camera(s). Taken for the Saturday Self-Challenge group, who's theme this week was "Animal Portraits."

My cat sleeping on the steps leading to the second floor. He likes hanging out with me - you can tell he gets totally relaxed. Taken on April 17th, 2015.

I was out in my yard today shooting some new film I got recently and you might know who was with me every step of the way. Yes, my cat had to follow me everywhere I went. And in some cases, he proceeded to lay right where I was about to take a picture.

My cat, taken on April 3rd, 2018 with a little Kodak Easy Share C433 digital point and shoot camera.

My cat seems to yawn every time I aim my camera at him. He's not a very good model, and gets bored easily, apparently.

This is the last picture I took of my cat. I haven't seen him in a month, so I guess he finally got killed in another cat fight. Cats around the neighborhood were always coming up to his space and fighting with him. Stupid neighbor cats. This was taken on June 29th, 2020, and as you can see, he liked to sleep on his back. I guess I'm alone again.

I had a surprise, unannounced visitor last night. I looked at the screen door and this face was looking in.

This kitten stops by and visits me every now and then.

Stubby really liked me and loved having her picture taken. Late at night while I would work on my computer, she would sleep near me and feel safe. She'd look up every now and then just to make sure I was still there. When I'd be out photographing butterflies, she would follow me around like a dog. She was always curious about what I was doing and sometimes would chase the butterflies away that I was trying to shoot! I would scold her, but not too severely.

There are a lot of kitten and sunset pictures in Explore. I figure, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I photographed this cat in 1987 with my Minolta XD11
