Silky Cat with Beautiful Eyes

This is my Laddie cat - we think his mum had a fling with a border collie, he is huge and very doggyish and even digs up the garden (in search of moles). However he adores me, when he purrs on my lap it pins me down and makes the chair rumble. Today he looked across the garden, straight down my zoomy lens (the one that goes in and out like a trombone) and clearly said 'Mum your 365-er friends will forgive you for not managing a single photo of a morris man on May Day today if you promise to take one next time you see them' And I did.

(It was a beautiful sunny day, too hot already and the schoolkids kept me busy... the morris men did their thing then went to the pub (I think) with no encore aaargh). (And I tried a selfie and just got a sunny blurred shot of an odd grey-haired dame in a white dress which couldn't have been me as I don't look anything like an odd grey-haired dame and besides, my dress was pink. Very odd).

Thank you though, for your sweet and lovely comments on my forget-me-not heart. Bit fiddly but I was pleased with the result and delighted that you liked it too. Have a triffic Tuesday and take care :)

Great capture Phil, sounds like quite a character. Why am I not surprised ??

He does look very debonair1 And those devilish green eyes are seductive! He is indeed a feline to be proud of! Can see why he talked you into taking his photo so easily!

Well we are well pleased with Laddie cat's gorgeous portrait. He is a fine, handsome fellow and that much more attractive for his doggy ways.

Great shot! Love how his colors contrast with the flowers behind him. And he looks like he's posing for you! Job well done, Phil! :)

:o) Your commentary really cheers me up...and after the time I've been having lately I can really do with it!! I can forgive you not getting the Morris men (I think they're a it odd tbh) and I can even forgive you a shot of Laddie (as I'm highly allergic) but he's such a handsome chap and poses beautifully xx

He looks like a cat we had once. Ours would follow us around the block like a dog and chase away neighborhood dogs if they barked at us. Fearless.

Pretty cat and a nice pose he gave you :-)

Much better than Morris dancers and a pink dress!! Great shot of a handsome Laddie
