Leo, you are getting sleepy, sleeepy, sleeeeeepy. When you wake up you'll be in a photo posted by Cathy :0) #52592

Thank you, Kathleen, Conrad, Jeannie, Lorraine, Carolyn and Murry! I was teasing Leo so I could get this shot. I opened the back door a crack, and he was thinking, "Okay, just a little wider, and I'll make a run for it!" At least that's what I think he was thinking! He's an inside kitty, but spent three years as a full time outside Tom before being rescued, so he still has those male urges.

Great shot, Cathy! If only my camera would take lessons from a cat on how to focus :-) #52623

Thank you, Gary, Shirley and Jill!

Shirley: He is a gorgeous cat, and so fluffy! He's kind of skittish, though, because he was abused as a kitten. At least he doesn't run when I come downstairs in the morning now. He would always cuddle with me before bedtime, but then it was like the night would wipe away his good memories, and he was terrified in the morning. It was like that for about six months, then he learned to trust me, and realized I wasn't going to hurt him. Now he's so affectionate!

Your cat is indeed beautiful,but you have captured her expression so well that you deserve my compliments on your skills as a photographer. She looks more inqusitive than mesmirized to me. Nice shot. #81506
