Pictures Taken By you...

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

Speaking of cats, I wanted to share a recent picture of Lilly. Lilly is actually an indoor cat due to the predators that roam the creek, primarily Coyotes. We let her out periodically, but I keep her tethered so she won't dart off. She is concentrating on a small toad.



This is a recent photo of an Opossum (the other, other white meat) that wandered up from the creek close to the fenced part of our yard, launching our dogs into a barking fit. I had the fella clamp down on the stick you see, to serve as a handle of sorts in order to carry it further away:



Finally, this is a photo of a Yucca plant in blossom. These plants are located very near the Police project I posted in the Architecture thread. The trees in the background are Juniper:

Olga,
Poppy's were one of my mother's favorite flowers. My childhood cat was named Poppy.

Thank you Gilliatt, your kitty is so adorable!

I think that pictures of animals deserve a separate thread, I might start one.

I have hundreds of pictures of cats I've taken during my trips I will share only three of them now they were taken in Cyprus.

What a sweetheart Lilly is! Love the urban flora and fauna, too. Its nice tomeet other cat lovers. Olga I. Really think you could write/publish your own cat book, you have so many lovely pictures of them.

Claes don't you think that you need to ask for an appointment at pedicure for your neighbour's cat?
He is so lovely and he looks like mine.

I am not sure I can write a book of cats but I definitely can make an photo album of them. :-)

We all have our likes and dislikes but it totally defeats me that anyone cannot like cats. As kittens they must surely be the most attractive creatures on earth, but as cats they are the aristocrats of the animal kingdom; suave, lithe and athletic, whilst being mysterious and enigmatic.
I don't look upom my cat as being an animal but as a creature beyond human comprehension, that casts a spell over her human servant. Which doesn't mean that I don't have to chastise her sometimes for killing birds.

Which is what I meant!

Claes, your neighbors cat looks like mine, too!

Agreed, Brian Bean, except for the last part. Although if I was rich I would love to spend some money putting little cat runs up on the walls of my house. How much fun they would have.

Looking through my stack of photos I found these which you may find interesting.

Brian I absolutely agree with you and feel puzzled when I meet people who don't like cats. Maybe somebody will laugh at me but I talk to my cats regularly and I am likely to believe that they understand me. Don't chastise your cat for hunting - try to talk to her eye-to-eye seriously it might help. On the other hand hunting is the main instinct in her life - she is a female and all female cats are much better hunters.

Brian your pictures look like professional! I see you travelled the world. I am a bit envy. LOL

[Emil Miller]

Well olga, I admit that I also talk to my cat frequently. I don't think that they uderstand exactly what is being said but they do pick up inflections in the voice that tells them whether we are pleased or angry etc. I don't hit my cat but I will shout to stop her catching a bird or a squirell. I know that they are instinctive hunters and are not fully in control of their actions when small creatures come into sight but I feel that I have some responsiblitey to protect them. I regularly put out food for the many birds that come into the garden so I am directly responsible for seeing that they don't come to harm.

I haven't travelled the world but I have been around Europe quite a lot over the years and also visited China a couple of times although I'm afraid I haven't been to Hungary. These days, it has become increasingly difficult travelling abroad on account of the anti-terrorist procedures at airports, so I haven't been anywhere for a couple of years.

Claes, your neighbour's cat is beautiful!

Brian, I have to agree with Olga and admit to being very envious as well!!

I'm glad to hear there's so many cat lovers on Litnet! I love them too, but I am surrounded by dog-only people most of the time

[Snowqueen]

Brian Bean your pictures are very interesting indeed. I hope we will get to see more photos like these in the future.

Olga and Claes thanks for sharing these are wonderful pictures.
