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.
It looks like a pro shot now.
Michael,
You are the cat’s purr in all of us. [kitty emoticon]
Yes, thinking. Poor bred pitbulls. Babies, I’ve never had one, ‘cept in my lap, when I used to go door-to-door on the wknd, seeking my solace. When you go to the shelter, to pet the kitties, giving them all of your love, like THEY DO, unequivocally, you don’t get back out the door without stopping to look into those sad,sad eye. They did not ask to be bred for fighting. They need love. Don’t we all.
Just ask my German Shephardcopy. “Henry Hippolyte Bayerd.”
Have you ever slept in a cemetary? amonsgst those souls that hold our heart? (sometimes the cute, noisy squirrels will HURL nuts, acorns on you) The feral cat pops that hold down that Wyuka, shoot, that cemetary, they ARE the best. Lovwe them. They after me, and many of us, incl. Dr. Becky, look after them. TNR trap(hate it but important!) Neuter/Spay Release–little kitty ear notched. Fed. Loved!
That is why we exist, I believe. Omnivores, carnivy catadores, veggiebytes, we have one common purpose. Endure and endeavor, strive to end as much suffering as we can. Misnomer? I don’t think so. No killing. No kidding. DO! as much as you can for all species that feel pain. I don’t know what else to say
This, my friend, is what we all do. on a local level. and then some?
