Saturday Snapshots #6

by Jeanne Horak on October 4, 2008 10 Comments in Photography, Saturday Snapshots

Black-Cat

Troy – 2007

Troy arrived in our street as a kitten with no return address back in 2004.  Nobody could figure out if he was lost, abandoned, or just on a feline adventure to meet new people.  What was certain, though, was that he was a heartbreaker:  pick him up and he’ll put his arms around your neck, nuzzle your nose and stare into your eyes in total adoration. In the end our neighbour adopted him, but he’s always known that our house belongs to him too, and that he has me and Nick wrapped around his furry, black little finger.

Saturday Snapshots is a series of non-food photographs published every Saturday on CookSister.  Previously featured photographs can be viewed on the Saturday Snapshots archive pages. Many photos featured in Saturday Snapshots are available to buy as high-quality greeting cards or prints in my RedBubble store.

    This is, undeniably, your best photograph yet! I would really love to have the pic so that I can have it framed for my little niece who adores black “kittie katjies”!

    LOL, I love what Douglas says… I don’t like cats but it would seem my yard is the local community centre for the neighbourhood’s cats. They meet every night right outside my bedroom window to discuss politics and economics!

    Jeanne, he is so adorable! Would love to meet him sometime… Our neighbour friend just got 3 kittens and they are just irresistible (not that we don’t love our cat any more…) Hope you are well, kx
