Sakura, newest member of the household

[JeffR]

She waited until I had her nicely in focus, then she moved. Actually might have improved the shot.

1. Hello Sakura

She looks like she's making herself at home. The perfect Grimalkin for a Gothic parlour. Good set up and lighting.

3. Thanks. It took her about 48 hours to decide that it's her house

and the rest of us are here on her sufferance.

2. It's fabulous in the colors and worthy of a submission to Better Homes and Gardens.

Just take out the cat.
:)

Welcome, new family member
I'm sure she looks great, and we'll meet her soon. Right now, she is a perfect color match and that's a nice start.

4. LOL! We were determined never to get another cat.

But here we are.

6. I've said that many times...

We have 4. Sigh.

Those dried flowers will be a favorite plaything if she's anything like my critters. Demolishing flower arrangements is in their DNA.

Enjoy!

8. We were down to our 20-year old Siamese

(who's still going strong) but thought after he goes, we'd be a dog-only household.

DNA is right! She takes minimal interest in the purpose-bought cat toys and spends much more time with dried flowers, mail and wicker furniture.

11. much appreciated

I have a feeling that this picture taking stuff is the beginning of yet another expensive hobby for me. :crazy:

7. Beautiful light in that picture.

I still haven't found the secret to keep a cat still. Congrats on the new kitty.

[JeffR]

10. Thank you. It's baffling that creatures who spend so much time sleeping

decide to get mobile as soon as there's a camera around.

12. An action shot.

Such a pretty kitty.

Last year my sister's cat stayed with me while she was doing pharmacy rotations. So I probably have several hundred photographs of the cat. Including some action shots like this one. I miss the cat so much, my sister took her with her to St. Louis when she was done with school.

13. It's funny

but I've gotten very attached to other people's cats many times.

Our own? Usually not so much.

But they do make good models for photography. I've also been ditzing around with a small stone sculpture of a cat head for about four years now. If I ever finish it, I'll take a bunch of photos. Presto, no more action shots.
