A Willing Model

I really wanted to get some photos of the birds who are visiting the feeders now but they wouldn't co-operate. I tried hiding behind the wheelie bin but they seemed to sense that I was there. No doubt the fact that Fudge was whimpering in the kitchen, demanding to be taken out for yet another walk, didn't help. As I went back inside I saw Toffee sitting in his favourite spot on the fish tank.

We had a cat once.
This cat used the fish tank as a personal tv and would watch the fish for literally hours, moving only to twitch a bit.

He is a handsome boy! Do I see visions of a fish dinner dancing in his head?

Willing ! I've never owned a cat willing to do anything that didn't involve its comfort or food. Great pic anyway

That's a "Whoops, busted but I don't care" look. Beautiful kitty and portrait. V.

His face almost seems to be spotlit in this one; it really brings the focus onto it.
(And yes, I suspect he's thinking that he also finds the birds uncooperative.)

I think they knew Toffee was on the prowl too.

Ooh, that's a look - should I stay here where it's warm, or go hunting... :o)

A wonderful portrait. He looks like he has fish on his mind, and maybe birds too. :)
