Master of All He Surveys by Weezilou

Master of All He Surveys

Though in the last two days our backyard has been visited by "our" Mallards, a darling young raccoon, many cats (most our own, feral though they be), doves aplenty, a pair of Hummingbirds and one God-forsaken possum (all photographed, of course), I enjoyed a step away from home in the afternoon and enjoyed a visit with my neighbor, Barbara and her cats, Charlie (above) and Chloe.

What a lovely change of pace, allowing for some quiet time with friends. Thank you, Barb, for the ambiance and a lovely setting in which to photograph your cats!
What a lovely pose he is striking!

@jamibann @allie912 @quietpurplehaze @summerfield Oh thank you all! He's silky soft and a real cuddle bug! (Have a Kleenex, Vikki!) (and Vikki, I DO have an animal "studio"! They follow me everywhere... Ken says it has something to do with "food"... I say I take my direction from St Francis!)

It certainly looks a lovely ambience and this is a gorgeous cat

@Weezilou - whenever there's a dog festival here in toronto (methinks it's called "woof fest", although it includes cats and other pets, except snakes), there's always one or two booth for "professional dog photographers". with long line ups.

Cats certainly know their place!
January 5th, 2016  
Beautiful cat! I like the composition of your shot.
January 5th, 2016  
It all looks beautifully arranged but I know you can't really "arrange" cats.
January 6th, 2016  
Gorgeous, and a fav! Looks very deco.
January 6th, 2016  
A very regal setting.
January 6th, 2016  
A regal looking cat. I like his perch on the mantle!
January 6th, 2016  
@kelly2 I couldn't agree more, Irene! You can see why I was enjoying the visit!
@shepherdmanswife You seem to know all about cats! ha! This is how he handled the command to "Get Down!"!
@kwind Thanks Kim... The decor was set and the cat nestled in...I just lifted the camera!
@tunia Your comment is hysterically funny! Most of the time I will lift my camera and they start licking their butts!
@teiko I hadn't thought that, but it certainly does!
@danette I love my friend's home...so uncluttered and lovely!

Charlie is a beauty! Love your capture, Louise. Congats on the well deserved down time.
January 6th, 2016  
@redy4et @stray_shooter How nice to see my local friends drop by! Thank you both!
January 6th, 2016  
Definitely King of that Castle.
January 6th, 2016  
@golftragic That was my other choice for a title! And yes, he IS!
January 6th, 2016  
@Weezilou Funny, I thought it would've been right in the front of your mind.
January 6th, 2016  
Love the composition
January 6th, 2016  
@deliad Thanks Delia! Obviously, he's a most obliging cat!
January 6th, 2016  
He knows just how to look down on these lesser being! He epitomises everything I love about cats!
January 6th, 2016  
Well, he certainly has "catittude: :)
January 6th, 2016  
keeping my distance.
January 6th, 2016  
oh yes, charlie in charge.
January 6th, 2016  
What a great capture! Looks like he found the sweet spot!
January 6th, 2016  
What a portrait of a cat with attitude!
January 6th, 2016  
You don't own cats they own you and this cat knows it.
January 6th, 2016  
Lovely creature.
January 6th, 2016  
His bright yellow eyes look amazing! Magnificent photograph!
January 7th, 2016  
beautiful cat and your yard sounds like mine, just add a skunk or two!! If you have a Facebook account check out Barley Murray, he was a rescue possum, I have actually grown fond of them, following him. https://www.facebook.com/barley.murray?fref=ts&ref=br_tf

@brillomick Well, I've never seen such pretty possums! LOVED looking at the FB pictures! Ken has the account, so I had him open it. Even he was amazed at how pretty they were! So glad you shared! ...and while skunks are beautiful to look at, I can't say I'd welcome them here...too many ways to go wrong amidst all the critters!
January 7th, 2016  
Fantastic image! Wonderfully composed and captured!
January 7th, 2016  
He's a beauty!! Like he was meant for that life! Lovely composition!
January 7th, 2016  
Lovely picture. Regal pose indeed and a calm change from your animal playground at home. Though I do want to see those pictures.
January 7th, 2016  
This looks like it might be used for an ad for something in a magazine. An awesome shot.... Kitty looks so comfy on the mantle. Love you menagerie photos. You definitely have a "residential zoo" at your home.
