Headless Cat Picture!
This is a bit of fun, that’s all. It is, obviously, not really a headless cat. Charlie, the black cat (brown cat?) in this picture has three legs. When he is grooming, which he has a habit of doing to a slightly obsessive level, he can look like this:

Headless Cat. Photo by Michael of Charlie a 3 legged black cat.
I have a feeling only a three-legged cat can look like this because the right foreleg would normally be visible in this picture which would have made him look less like a round ball of brown/black fur.
The flash light has shown us how brown a black cat is. It does not take much to show up the dark brown eumelanin pigmentation granules in the fur that makes a cat black. Black fur is almost a visual illusion as the pigment is not black at all.
I am pleased to say that Charlie is pretty flexible and can wash all the usual accessible places of his body.
Here is another excellent headless cat picture:
lol I love the pics and must see if any of mine will pose headless lol
I’d love to a headless cat pic from you. They are hard to get though.
Here is another cute, fluffy headless cat:

Another brilliant body, it seems impossible, bum washing is over by the time we get the camera ready.
I only got the Charlie picture because I have an very good camera on the bed all the time and Charlie spends a lot of time on the bed with me. Even then it was tricky.
You’re joking! TOGETHER in the same photo? It aint going to happen, there would be blood shed, they’re like a pair of teenage hoodlums and would probably literally make each other headless if they had to pose together. And yet strangely, sometimes, like this week when Jo has been poorly, they CAN be nice to each other.Just not very oft.
LOL. I think it is impossible. Getting one is hard enough. The best or only time is when they are grooming their bum 😉 Well actually their rump.
Here is another headless cat picture found by dw. Well there is just glimmer of a head..!
That is my Bigfoot. He cooperated this morning while I was reading this post.
I didn’t realise he was Bigfoot. He is doing what Charlie does. Gorgeous coat.
Three lovely little warm bodies, cats are so photogenic, of course now I want the boys to pose. Michael, Charlie has a lovely shine on him and I love the auburn highlights.
I want to see a couple of headless boys 😉 together in one pic. That would be amazing. Charlie says thanks for the compliment. He is next right now and he has just read your comment.
Sorry I should have replied here, my reply is further down the page
Here is another version of the headless cat. I don’t know the photographer’s name – sorry. If it is you please leave a comment.
I have a photo of an orange and white cat asleep in a ball and she has no head and looks like a football also because of her orange patches. I’ll send it to you Michael – it’s on my cat Lilly’s FB page. Maybe you can all see it – but Michael you will get it via email in case the link doesn’t work.
(Note: Michael used the link to find the picture and then removed the link because external links often end up broken – not working).
I have it, thanks Marc. Love it. Another “headless cat pic”. This is “trending” 😉 Here it is:
Oh Michael, you so and so! You had me there, I couldn’t bear to look when I saw the title until Babz started laughing and said it was a pic of Charlie.
What a contortionist he is lol
Sorry Ruth, when I saw Charlie on the bed next to me I had to photograph him and put the photo on the website. I just thought it looked interesting. Only cats can contort as well as this.
Thats what people are doing on our pictures-of-cats.org group page on Facebook. People can’t help but want to show off their cats. It’s becoming one of the largest groups on Facebook with over 4000 members and I post all of my articles there between photos. You should check it out more often. It gets the PoC website a lot of publicity.
Fantastic. Networking is one of your great skills and it is a skill that I lack. Thanks Elisa.
Sealy and Midnight are both black cats with a lot of reddish brown.
I had a headless cat once. Her name was Smokey and she’d lose her head looking over into the bath tub. Wish I could find the picture.
You have given me an idea again. A headless cat photo competition. The only problem some idiot will do it for real.
