A cat can be very still… by maggiemae

A cat can be very still…

When he’s watching for a mouse in the long grass. I was about to leave our place and I spotted tho beautiful cat that I’d never seen before, sitting on a fence post! It is autumn and the fields around harbour mice who are looking for a warm home.

Three good things;
1. Hubby stuck in bed with a lung infection but hopefully will recover - in spite of the groans!
2. Made 4 jars of quince chutney -cost us little, picked some huge apples off a side road in the weekend, as well as the quince. The red pepper camera from my glass house but dates were not grown here - funny that!
3. Defects start from the weakest point - applies to so many conditions but my weakest point is my imagination - no defects have occurred there at the moment other than ‘wringing my hands”! lol!
wonderful capture of your pretty friend.

He looks very beautiful and pretty posed here. Lovely focus and detail of him too. Its quite fascinating how still they are when focused.

what a pretty cat...............

Your no 1 made me giggle, currently husband has a cold.........not bad enough to keep him off the golf course, but wants loads of sympathy.........err NO! when he is too poorly for golf ....maybe LOL!

Such a pretty cat, hope hubby improves (and stops groaning) :)

Wonderful perspective maggiemae.......a beautiful cat but you have given him superstar status! Poor John, he will be feeling pretty miserable & you will be ringing your hands even more! Hopefully doctor is keeping an eye on the patient...do you have home visits in NZ.......we dont tend to do over here unless you are almost dying! Perhaps the Nasters will keep John's mind if his infections....hope he feels better soon.

@happypat Thank you Pat - he may go to the doctor - no home visits here either. I do like things to get better without antibiotic though. Bed rest and I see the Masters is on from 10am. I will watch it but he's not a golf person.

A very contented looking cat.
April 8th, 2015  
ahh the other golf...lol Hope John feels better soon! I love the way you captured this Cat, so still and the whiskers are grand!!

A beautiful cat and a wonderful capture. -- she obviously is hoping for a mouse or insect in the long grass. I hope John feels better soon ! Three very good things there Magiemay --but you make me laugh at you wringing your hands !

Beautiful capture of a cat sitting on his post.

You captured this beautiful cat well. she sure doesn't look like a stray.
lots of fluids and bed rest for John. we also try to avoid antibiotics if we can.
April 8th, 2015  
Nice shot Maggie - love the whiskers and the curled tail!
April 8th, 2015  
Pretty shot! I like the profile pose!
April 8th, 2015  
What a beautiful cat and a lovely capture! Hope John soon feels better! I am doing a bit of the hand wringing myself at the moment and not sure it helps much!
April 8th, 2015  
@pamknowler No I don't think it does - it accentuates the feeling. Probably smiling is the best cure!

It's a fine shot- and what's this about a weak imagination? I don't think so!! Ms. Steampunk Reproduction Ukelele Lady!!
April 9th, 2015  
@olivetreeann No, Ann - its my imagination that makes me wring my hands - visualising things that might never happen!
April 9th, 2015  
Oh, then we would say it's not a weak imagination but an over-active imagination here.
April 9th, 2015  
and then the pounce!
April 9th, 2015  
Great whiskers! Hope the hubby hets well soon!
April 9th, 2015

Cats are wonderful and you've captured their stillness brilliantly.

Cool Cat Shot!
April 9th, 2015  
Very pretty cat and I like how the colours of his fur tone in with the grass seed heads in the foreground.
April 9th, 2015  
Neat image - I gather you didn't get to see the Pork Pie Charity run at Dunedin?
April 9th, 2015  
Classic pose, beautifully captured.
April 9th, 2015  
@dide It seemed to run from Alexandra right through to Invercargill, Dianne - we were missed out!
April 9th, 2015  
@nickspicsnz Thanks Nick - I ddi think of this too! Glad I got the grass seeds in focus actually!
April 9th, 2015

Great portrait of this beauty. Tristan feels it should be a fav, and I agree. Hope John gets well soon.

Such a wonderful shot, Maggiemae. Looks like this cat sees something. I hope John recovers quickly.

It is a beautiful cat and you have captured the patient concentration of the hunter at work.
