Alley cat

In an attempt to avoid the match day crowds that descended on Brighton today, my chosen route home from the station went via as many back streets and alleyways as posssible - where I came across this magnificent creature :)

(Those eyes stand out even better on black)

[Drew p Davies]

What a lovely cat 😊

[Pam Knowler]

What a beauty!

[FBailey]

That's a cat and a half!

[Graeme Stevens]

Looks slightly irritated...step away slowly...

[Annie-Sue]

channeling his inner lynx!

[sally agnew]

Puss has an agenda methinks. Great capture :)

[Diana]

Incredible shot of this beauty. Love the eyes and how the tones between the bricks match them. Fav

[Babs]

Wow what an amazing cat. fav.

[JackieR]

Wouldn't want to meet him n a dark night in that alley

[Emma78]

Cool cat!

[Sandy Z W]

I like how its eyes match the brick mortar.

[Ko*]

Looks like an oldtimer 4rky... but i see he have a name canister or something like that...

@graemestevens @30pics4jackiesdiamond
He was fixated on something on the wall opposite....a bug?...a spider?
I couldn't see anything.
He looks pretty fierce and liable to take your arm off with very little provocation. But he didn't seem to mind when I gave his ears a ruffle :)

@madeinnl
He is clearly well cared for by someone - maybe one of the homes that backs on to the alley. He was sat in the alleyway like he owned it!
It was very narrow and he would not move to make room for people to pass :)

I like how the colors in the background are similar to the eye colors. Great capture.

[Mave]

Lovely. But he didn't look too pleased to see you.

[Henri Russell]

He is a real beauty. I love those eyes and perky ears. Well captured.

[tony gig]

Lovely looking cat...fav

[gloria jones]

Wow...What a great find and super capture of this gorgeous cat :).

[Taffy]

Fantastic capture against the background, and with such clarity in its eyes.

[Mike]

This reminds me our own smokey Maine Coon pussy now no longer with us. Fav

[Merrelyn]

Great capture but it doesn't look too friendly !

[Liz Milne]

Looks like he means business!

[Rob Z]

It's uncanny the way his eyes match the colour of the mortar behind him. It makes for quite an unnerving photo!

[DHG]

Wow! He looks fierce.

[haskar]

Wow! Fav!

[Jean]

Great shot of this street wise beauty. Perfect background for him/her.

[Michelle]

Beautiful face 😀

[JoeV]

Awesome capture, very intense look.

[Paul]

Very nice! Looks like he/she is well cared for. I think I can see a collar there around the neck.

[*lynn]

cool cat! I like his/her determined, intent look! fav

[Lesley]

He/she is a striking looking cat.

[CC Folk]

It looks very serious! I thought it has a collar tag on? I wish I could get Katniss to wear a collar but at least she is chipped.

[Suzanne]

What a fabulous looking cat, I wouldn't dare let it out in fear it would get catnapped

[Wylie]

now that's a gorgeous cat! fav

[Stef Neyhart]

Very cool composition and lighting... this cat looks like it has a story to tell.

@stefneyhart
I think the main message is: "Get out of my alley!"

After a day spent taking photos in the nearby town of Lewes, I came across this cat in Brighton, on the way home. This was the last shot of the day and the one I liked the best.
I very much appreciate all the nice comments and favs. It ended up on TP and PP so thanks very much :)

[Vesna]

I like these ears!

[Berni Crumb]

What a gorgeous capture! Congrats on making the TP and PP pages!

@bernicrumb
