1. aaawww sweet

Maine Coon?

[Blue in a Red State]

6. Balinese

We think. The shelter pegged her as a Siamese mix, but she has all the traits of a Balinese, including the magnificent plume of a tail.

4. Oh, gosh, if that thing goes off.....

7. I disabled the ringer

But it still kinda "chirrups" softly. She might be kinda interested with that sound. ;-)

[MsAnthropy]

15. Gots her winter coat on

She just "puffed out" in autumn. I think she's part arctic fox. :-)

14. Absolutely gorgeous!

Her markings on her face are very unusual. Me thinks some Maine coon too. She looks like an abstact painting in that light. Beautiful photo.

16. Thanks

I liked the sepia look of it. Too bad, though. She's sitting in front of some stereographs from the 1800's that would've looked most excellent in the photo...

18. kids and cats just don't ever cooperate in a photo:)

I still think it is a beautiful photo, almost dali-esque. Or whatever the word would be. What strikes me most about the photo is the number of frames... the pic looks like it is mulitiple pics overlaid on one another, ie. the depthness of the pic.. her tail, her body, her head, the background ...it is very surreal...great job.!

19. Maybe a Dutch old master still life?

With electronics and gel pens, LOL! It's the bad lighting here in the den, mostly. :D

20. On a lark

I ran the watercolor filter in Photoshop on the image. Interesting, but I think I like the original better.

17. What a cutie!

She looks absolutely soft and cuddly!

[Sanity Claws]

21. I needed this picture after

seeing Bush naked in that other thread.

[Lorien]

22. That's a big cat! Is she

part ragdoll? She's a beauty!

Come, be friends. Corral my kitties, and they will become popular and beloved! ;-)

[Blue in a Red State]

23. Nah.

She only weighs 6 pounds, but she's really long/tall. You have some really nice looking kitties, too. Sorry about Peewee. He looked a lot like my dearest old Volker (but was about 4 times his size) who passed away in 2000. :-(

[Lorien]

24. Is that Volker in your avatar?

He does look like Wee. it's one of the cruelest facts of life; that our fur kids don't live as long as we do. :-(

[Blue in a Red State]

26. That's Alyssa.

The girl in the first pic. All I have on this computer is a couple of bad shots of Volker. Like this one:



But Wee also reminds me of Admiral (adopted after 9/11, died this July as did Volker's twin sister, Xerox---it was a really bad month):



All we have now is Alyssa, adopted in August. Couldn't stand being catless after 18 years of constant companionship...
