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:

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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).
