This is the classic tabby cat that I feed. I can’t help it. He hisses like hell at me but he doesn’t mean it. It is just programmed behavior. Defensive. He wants to be loved…and fed. At the moment his “owner” is not feeding him because I am 😉 I know it is wrong in so many ways but I can’t say No to a cat who asks for anything. The cat’s owner should realise that and take charge.
I think it is a good picture. The camera was a Sony Cyber-shot G. The “classic” refers to the blotched tabby pattern as opposed to the mackerel and spotted. He has a superb pattern. I feed his sibling as well who is a spotted tabby with an equally beautiful coat.

Note: I have photoshopped the picture in responding to Marc’s comment below about the bird shit and the bell on the collar. Both have been removed.

You motiv moved me. My All Animals “Great and Small” is now flying outside the front door. Below all of our critters, flying high, is the word, that we all take into our heart, “Peace.”

Ok, I’m –no–my Shrimptaro is purring on me despite all of the loud bangs noise outside. This will continue for another week. i’,m afraid.
Why are you sure this cat is female? Please reexplain yourself 😉
i’m going to turn up the Bose now. Not too loud. Respect!
You go right ahead and cry, M. We all do, don’t we? Cry for me, and mine. I’m too cautious, not calloused. -cal
That IS a female. Our frreckle-faced kittens are usually male. Darn it. Silver/grey? Female, usually. might be an exception. Exceptional.
