This is a popular cat photograph by Finn Frode, a regular visitor and contributor to PoC. He hasn’t been around lately but I remember his love of cats. I am not up-to-date with his current cat companions. He might leave a comment. However, below is one of his photographs of his long haired Abyssinian – a Somali cat – in his garden on a post he has built for their entertainment. The garden looks ideal for cats. She is female and her name is: Dushara Cathal Caithlin (Caithlin for short).
Finn also built a catio. Finn is very involved in making the best out what he has to improve the environment for his cats – called “environmental enrichment” in the cat world! The sign of a cat lover, I guess. He takes a nice photograph too.
Lovely photos of beautiful cats and great to see you back Finn 🙂 I myself haven’t been on as much as I would like as I have to get Jinks out of his pen every evening to spend time with him playing and letting him exercise. The biggest thing is watching him like a hawk so he doesn’t get up to too much mischief! Very difficult now he’s feeling better!
And another portrait of the green eyed beauty. 🙂
Your family of cats reminds me of a lady in Holland (Dani Roseboom) who loves Persians and Maine Coons. A very classy Danish cat family. Your beauty is truly beautiful.
Thank you so much for your comments, you all. Besides being my wife’s cuddle cat and a loyal member of Snow White’s royal household, we also plan on taking her to catshows. Her sister Na Dorsa from the same litter has done so very successfully and both her owner and the breeder agrees that Caithlin is at least as good and maybe better.
The breeder took Caitlin to shows, when she was younger, and she has taken titles in three major federations – FIFe, TICA and CFA. We are probably gonna test her in August to see if she still has the mind for it – and if she hasn’t, then she will of course be allowed to stay home from then on.
I am aware that not all people like cat shows, but believe it or not – many cats do. Rags for instance enjoys the attention on the judge’s table and also seeing all the other cats. He is curious about everything and the shows offers so many new impressions. He is a natural show cat and what he lacks in his looks according to the standard, he makes up for with his personality.
Anyway – here is another pictures of our little group in the garden last night. Snow White resting in front, Rags presiding their meeting to the left and Caitlin looking for birds behind.
I remember going to a cat show in Oklahoma, USA and the best (for me) was a Somali. Regal he was. You can see the video on this page:
