The first photograph I like with my new (second-hand) camera.

*What* a handsome cat!

Don't tell Max I'm faunching after someone else, his bite is worse than his bark.

Ah, but Max brings in Beanie Babies.

Talia, in this picture, is looking for a live mouse. On the duvet. On top of me. She'd come in doing her prey growl - the one that's muffled because it has to go round the body of whatever it is she's got in her mouth.

I was woken out of a doze by this, and called for [livejournal.com profile] bellinghwoman to kindly please come remove the mouse. Talia dropped mouse on duvet, [livejournal.com profile] bellinghwoman caught it (this takes practice, but we've had plenty of practice), and I grabbed the camera from beside the bed and shot this picture down the bed.

(I'd just bought the camera in question from [livejournal.com profile] knell, and was reading the manual in bed. And was referring to the camera itself while doing so. Which is why I had a Nikon D70 on the bedside table.)

Laugh.

Naturally, we'd disagree.

What an absolutely beautiful cat!!!!!!!

Thanks. She's a 9 year old Abyssinian. In this case, she was in fully alert hunting posture, trying to work out where her mouse had gone.

(Said mouse being in [livejournal.com profile] bellinghwoman's hands, some metre above the cat's head. One day, she'll realise than bringing her prey into the bedroom is a sure-fire way to have it taken off her.)

Nice cat! Not as cute as our two, of course...

[identity profile] bellinghman.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Not as cute, no. (Which doesn't exclude being more cute, of course.)

She wasn't trying for cuteness at that point - she was wondering where the mouse was.

(Answer - 3 foot above her head, as it happens.)
