I just checked in for a few moments before leaving for an Easter vacation and the first thing I saw was this. Mere words cannot express how sorry I am. We lost our beloved Levi last October 31. He had just turned 19 in September. Although he had a good run, it was no less devastating when we finally had to have him put down. Please know my heart goes out to you for the loss of your precious and beloved Asia. Charlotte

Again, I did a bit of messing with the eyes. Benjamin has natural deep blue eyes, but sometimes they come out very pale in a photo...sometimes they come out just right. Of course I was going for a more "natural" blue than this!

Again, she looks almost black in this photo.

chulas8 says:
This is closest to Maggie's natural colouring.

chulas8 says:
Maggie looks almost black in this one...as she also does in a few of her other photos. It must have been the lighting or my camera setting, because I assure you I haven't messed with her colouring.

chulas8 says:
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that I messed with the eyes on this one!

Rocky wore himself out playing with a paper towel roll...of all things!

I'm betting there are (or were!) Goldfish or Koi in that pond. Rosi is just TOO interested. Lovely Shangrila!

chulas8 says:
Welcome Avante. Very happy to meet you!

Hi Sandy. Now your mom's joining in on the 'effects' game, huh? You're a pretty baby with or without effects!

My mom has to take his food bowl away after meals. The vet put him on a diet.

I've been having the same problem with my cats lately. They don't want to stay put for any photo sessions. I think they're getting burned out with this posing stuff.

chulas8 says:
Your choice of location and background for this photo gives this image a wonderful warmth. Uhhh, on second thought...I'm pretty certain that Shadow made the "location choice." (0;

Happy Easter Sweet One!

Thank you, merimouse! I saved this one to my PC. Happy Easter to you and your family...Cats, humans, etc... (0:

I just saw your post on one of Maggie's older pics. Yes, there is an amazing resemblance! I think Russians are among the most beautiful cats around! Also have a wonderful, lovable and sweet nature. I also love that they "softly squeak" rather than loudly meow. (^:

Bello! Bell'in rosa. Happy Easter to you, too, and your wonderful family, merimouse!

Paper bags...they love 'em, don't they?! We buy our cats something new to play with just about every time we shop (their toy boxes are better stocked than my kid's were!) And what do they do? Play joyfully in the bags and the boxes! *Sheesh!*

chulas8 says:
Shadow, I love your expression in this one! this is the way my cats are beginning to look at me whenever I aim my cam at them! Either that, or I get that bored, ho-hum expression! *Sigh...*
