Tuff Sam

[Marie Hass]

A stray who joined us in April. I had him neutered and vaccinated, and he has been with us ever since. He is starting to enjoy the pleasures of inside life as well, so come winter, I think he will be more in than out.

Isn't it great how animals choose which humans to adopt

And a useful model as well.

Nice angle of view and exposure.

Like the view point and the inscrutable look. I bet he pleases himself quite a bit.

Congratulations to both you and Sam on your partnership. Nice shot of a handsome cat! I had a yellow male tabby that looked a lot like Sam...

[NorthernFocus]

A beautiful animal and nicely captured. Well done.

[Marie Hass]

Grahame, he is a wonderful boy. The vet estimated his age at 1.5 years when he was first seen, so he is almost 2 now. He is super friendly and uses the litter box. I am grateful for that.

Thanks, John.

Lovely

[Marie Hass]

John. He has the run of the property. We have no traffic, and I know he is a good hunter, so he does please himself.

[Cantab]

A nice looking cat. We're you down on the grass with him in order to get this shot?

[Marie Hass]

Bruce, I was sitting in the grass taking Pictures of a dandelion when he laid down to watch me.

[Marie Hass]

Thanks, Binnur!

Hi Marie,

Nice shot of nice cat, even if I do feel like I might roll down the slight hill in your garden
(Which I assume is a real slope, the eyes being almost level)

He is starting to enjoy the pleasures of inside life as well, so come winter, I think he will be more in than out.

Our two (females), which are house cats, 'live out' in the summer months, only coming in for their biscuits, then going straight out again. Come the winter, that ratio of 'out' vs 'in' time will be reversed; only going out when 'nature calls' and staying in all the rest of the time. Often times we encourage nature's calling by insisting they go out regularly each day, since the alternative isn't pleasant.

Hi, Dave!

Thanks for commenting. We live up on the ridge line and our property is quite sloped.

This is a snap from our deck.

[Marie Hass]

Thanks, Richard.

I love using natural daylight for shooting.

Nice photo of a beautiful kitty. Love cat expressions ... he looks like he is unhappily humoring you by allowing his picture to be taken

[Dave Humphries]

Whoa, that's way more sloped than I was imagining!
I said 'slight', I may have underestimated

Start rolling down there and there's only the trees to stop you - ouch!

Nice view for the Lightning shots too.

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks, Sharon!

I am fortunate that he is a Good Boy.
