Probably not a Chartreux…

Portrait of Widget

Portrait of Widget

My little Widget was the spawn of a feral cat that a neighbor was caring for, and almost certainly has no "breeding" whatsoever, but I couldn't help being struck by his similarity to this breed-- especially the short legs, solid body, woolly blue coat, large jowls, and the "late" maturity (Widget is now 8, and still crazy as a kitten). This is a portrait I did of Widget, with his favorite fetch toy.

I'd be happy to send a full size version, but not sure where to send it...?

Yes, Widget is a lovely boy. And this is actually a painting, not a photo--I do digital portraits with a Wacom tablet & Painter software.

Whatever it is, it is an exquisite cat. And you seem to be a really fine photographer.

Not a Chartreux unless there were two feral Chartreux mating nearby!

But a really lovely photograph - well done - and a fine looking cat. You should send me the photo in an email (large format) and I'll publish a large format version of it.

Thanks for showing us your cat.
