tuxedo cat

Wednesday September 30, 2020 Pic of the Day.

I took a look back 1 year to see what was going on, and I found this picture of Margarita. She is very hard to photograph, so this is a good one. It came out well considering it was taken on a budget smartphone.
Taken: September 2019.



two cat friends

Tuesday September 29, 2020 Pic of the Day.

For me, it is very hard to believe this was taken more than 8 years ago. I remember taking this picture, and it feels recent in my mind. Andi on the left (tuxedo) and Patty on the right.
Taken: July 2012.



mother and daughter cats

Monday September 28, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Yet another picture of Mumma-Puma and her daughter Andi. I'm really into this theme in the past week or so.
Taken: September 2012.



mother and daughter cats

Sunday September 27, 2020 Pic of the Day.

I was looking at pictures I took from September of 2017. I saw this one of Mumma-Puma (right) and her daughter Daisy. This picture goes well with the pictures from last Sunday to last Wednesday. This picture is taken through my front window.
Taken: September 2017.



cat looking in window

Saturday September 26, 2020 Pic of the Day.

This is a neighbor's cat looking in at Dexter. Dexter and this cat just hate each other and have nasty fights with each other separated by the window. I just happened to walk in the room and saw this. I wanted to be as quiet as possible so Dexter would not know this cat was there.
Taken: September 2020.



seven cats in a cat tree

Friday September 25, 2020 Pic of the Day.

There are seven cats here. Top of the cat tree, picture taken from near the ceiling - I'm standing on a coffee table. I love the "What is that lunatic up to now?" look on the cat's faces.
Taken: February 2018.



tuxedo kitten

Thursday September 24, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Too bad the only camera I had at this time was a very poor quality one. I have a lot of nice pictures like this that are so low quality, that I can't decide whether or not to use them on this site. I really like how Avensby would hold her tail when she was a kitten. She still does this when walking around and playing, but not when she is lying down.
Taken: September 2016.



mother and daughter cats

Wednesday September 23, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Following on the theme of the past few days, here is Mumma-Puma (calico cat looking at camera) with three of her daughters. Andi on the left, Chessie in the same box as Mumma-Puma, and Elly-May on the right. Mumma-Puma would have been 11 here, and the three daughters would have been 7.
Taken: October 2016.



mother and daughter cats

Tuesday September 22, 2020 Pic of the Day.

So, yesterday and the day before were Mumma-Puma and her daughter Andi one year apart - 2013 & 2014. I checked for 2015, and found this one taken at the beginning of October.
Taken: October 2015.



mother and daughter cats

Monday September 21, 2020 Pic of the Day.

This is taken one year later from yesterday's picture. Mumma-Puma and Andi were very, very close. This mother/daughter relationship proved to me that cats do know who their relatives are. When Mumma-Puma got sick, not long before she passed away, all three of her remaining kittens from the last litter stayed close to her and groomed her. After Mumma-Puma did pass away, Andi especially was completely lost for weeks. She would keep wandering around looking for her mom and meowing. Broke my heart. In this picture Andi (tuxedo) would have just turned 6 (fall litter) and Mumma-Puma would have been 10.
Taken: September 2014.



mother and daughter cats

Sunday September 20, 2020 Pic of the Day.

I decided to look back to September of 2013. I found this picture of Andi (tuxedo) and her mom - Mumma-Puma. I have noticed that Andi and Mumma-Puma are virtually identical looking cats except where Andi is black, Mumma-Puma is calico. If they were lying on the same side, even the dividing line from their white to colour areas is just about identical. Even their personalities were just about the same. The other kittens from the litter are not even close looking to Mumma-Puma, just Andi. This picture is taken in low light with a very poor quality camera, but as they say: the best camera is the one you have on hand.
Taken: September 2013.



3 cats under a lamp

Saturday September 19, 2020 Pic of the Day.

I just took this last night. Only one 60 Watt light bulb on in the room.
Taken: September 2020.



silver abyssinian face

Friday September 18, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Patty is quite beautiful. I have been told she is a Silver Abyssinian or Silver Abyssinian & Tabby cross. I'm not well informed regarding cat breeds, but when I found Patty, I had never seen a cat with fur like hers before. In person, she is silver and not grey, though pictures have a hard time capturing the colour correctly. According to a witness, a car on a 2 lane highway stopped, opened the passenger door, and set her in the ditch and drove off. I was called, and I went and got her. That is all I know of her history. She would have been about 6 - 7 months old when I got her. She is about 10 1/2 years old now, but would have been about 7 1/2 in this picture.
Taken: September 2017.



3 cats in boxes

Thursday September 17, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Taken through the sunroom window. Avensby yawned just as I snapped the picture. I love the pattern her whiskers took. She has whiskers that seem oversized for her body size compared to most cats I've had, and in this pattern, they are remarkable.
Taken: August 2017.



3 cats in boxes

Wednesday September 16, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Taken just over three years ago. The calico is Mumma-Puma, orange tabby is Leon, and the tuxedo is Andi. Andi and Leon are 2 of 5 siblings, and Mumma-Puma is the mom. In 2018 both Leon and Mumma-Puma passed away, so I'm glad I have pictures like this.
Taken: August 2017.



tuxedo cat profile of face

Tuesday September 15, 2020 Pic of the Day.

A nice picture of Dexter.
Taken: January 2020.



cat friends

Monday September 14, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Two close friends. Dexter (tuxedo) and Norton.
Taken: January 2020.



cats in a box

Sunday September 13, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Andi (tuxedo) was in the box on the floor, and Norton - true to his nature - decided he wanted to join in. Much to my surprise, Andi didn't seem to mind.
Taken: August 2020.



tuxedo cat covered in catnip

Saturday September 12, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Avensby rolls and rolls in catnip whenever I put some out for the cats. When she is covered in it, she goes off by herself and licks it off her fur until every last bit is gone. The other cats do roll in it, but they tend to lick it off the floor.
Taken: February 2020.



cats in sunroom

Friday September 11, 2020 Pic of the Day.

I don't know how I missed this picture before. Elly-May in the foreground, and her sister Andi in the background. On a summer's day in the sunroom.
Taken: June 2019.



tuxedo cats in sunroom

Thursday September 10, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Lately, Avensby (left) has been causing trouble for Andi (right). Even though Avensby is being completely innocent here, you can see Andi does not trust her. Andi is a good communicator, and this look on her face really is expressive. And yes, Avensby does have a very long tail for her size. Picture taken through a window.
Taken: August 2020.



tuxedo cat in basket

Wednesday September 09, 2020 Pic of the Day.

The basket Avensby is in is well over my head on the top of the cat tree. I held my camera phone over my head and took this picture. I think because I've done this so many times, Avensby is trying to ignore me.
Taken: August 2020.



cat sleeping in basket

Tuesday September 08, 2020 Pic of the Day.

A basket full of Norton. Norton likes to squeeze himself into tight sleeping spaces, and this is one of his regular spots. I've noticed that camera autofocus has a hard time focusing on long-haired cats.
Taken: August 2020.



tuxedo cat playing in cat tree

Monday September 07, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Avensby full of beans playing in the cat tree.
Taken: January 2020.



bicolor cat on table

Sunday September 06, 2020 Pic of the Day.

This picture captures Dexter's demeanor quite well. In the sunroom on a nice August day.
Taken: August 2018.



forest cat picture of face

Saturday September 05, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Fiona watching the other cats below from one of the basekts on the top of the cat tree.
Taken: December 2019.



tuxedo cat sleeping upside down in basket

Friday September 04, 2020 Pic of the Day.

Not much to say about this picture. Avensby having a comfortable snooze in a basket on the window shelf.
Taken: June 2020.



three cats on picnic table in sunroom

Thursday September 03, 2020 Pic of the Day.

I decided to see what was happening three years ago - September 2017, and found this picture of Norton (left), Chessie (middle) and Leon (right). Nice picture of them, but I didn't know my new phone well enough, and had no idea the HDR was turned on by default giving this picture a photoshopped look. This odd look that my pictures had caused me to look at the settings and that is when I found out HDR was on. I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up. Now I always keep it off.
Taken: September 2017.



tuxedo cat looking out of window with paw on window

Wednesday September 02, 2020 Pic of the Day.

I was cutting the lawn a couple of days ago, and when I looked at the house, I saw this. I was very lucky to have captured his paw on the glass like this. I didn't know if he would still be like this when I got the camera out.
Taken: August 2020.



tuxedo cat in basket

Tuesday September 01, 2020 Pic of the Day.

September is here. Dexter is celebrating with a good snooze on the window shelf in a basket. I was trying out the wide angle lens on my new phone camera.
Taken: August 2020.
