The Cat sat on the Mat by maggiemae

The Cat sat on the Mat

She was in the sun too which was indicated by the white patch on her jaw. You can see by her eyes that she knows my camera is focused on her. I’m not worried - I’m the one that feeds her and she knows that!



Three good things;

1. Its too cold for night parties across the road from us!
2. John encouraged me not to stop and ask this rather active and young lady why she parked in a restricted park for disabilities at the supermarket!
3. Cats don’t need to use showers - perhaps I should start licking myself!
Great shot and processing, love those eyes

She doesn't look overly happy ..... bit like our Willow when she sees the camera!
Nice processing ..... I like the bright green eye :)

Excellent capture and use of SC

OK why is this spooking me out. fav.
August 8th, 2015  
@sailingmusic Does she look like a witch's cat, Myrna?
August 8th, 2015  
Lovely cat portrait and use of selective color for her green eye.
August 8th, 2015  
Great capture!! She does look a bit spooky with those green eyes!!
August 8th, 2015  
@pamknowler Now Pam - if I tell her she is spooky looking, she may hide behind the couch for the rest of the day!
August 8th, 2015  
Wonderful presentation.
August 8th, 2015  
Great shot fav
August 8th, 2015  
Beautiful portrait of your gorgeous cat, nice use of sc, fav for me.
August 8th, 2015  
That is one scary green eye. Nice SC.
August 9th, 2015  
And absolutely perfect portrait of your cat! Terrific pose composition and editing!

After the mud picture I want one of you licking yourself clean!
August 9th, 2015  
@grammyn Oh, Katy you are not going to be appeased are you!
August 9th, 2015  
@maggiemae LOL! I am nothing if I am not tenacious! (YOU may call me stubborn!)
August 9th, 2015  
@grammyn ....and with a good memory!
August 9th, 2015  
@maggiemae I'm not so sure about that any more but thanks! ;~}
August 9th, 2015  
Oh, such an interesting image.
August 9th, 2015  
The green SC in her eyes is very fascinating... the rest of the shot has a historic feel, but the green eyes really pops. At least your model has the proper respect for her photographer. :)
August 9th, 2015  
Great capture of your cat and love the selective coloring you used also!! Beautiful green eyes!!! FAV!

I am also one that will jump all over someone parked in a handicapped space. Nothing makes me madder!!! My husband is handicapped and there are not enough parking spaces for us as it is, but when someone who is obviously not handicapped I just go off on them!!! So inconsiderate!!!

@cashew I did read that you could have printed cards to put on their windscreens with a great message - have to find the right one!
August 9th, 2015  
@rosiekerr She responds to a growly voice very well, Rosie! I wish more people did!
August 9th, 2015  
superb fav ...
August 9th, 2015  
Wonderful shot. Love that green eye.
August 9th, 2015  
Love your commentaries! This is a beautifully processed shot
August 9th, 2015  
Great focus and processing. Love the green of her eyes.
August 9th, 2015  
Great capture and processing Maggie. There is something about that look in her eye..... Fav
August 9th, 2015  
@thistle You are quite right, Joyce -like "I'll get my own back on you, just you wait"?
August 9th, 2015  
Superbly done. Love her expression and the green eye too. I'm with you on the Parking, so selfish.
August 9th, 2015  
beautiful! love the pop of the green eye!
August 9th, 2015  
Love it
August 9th, 2015  
Very cool. I like the processing.
August 9th, 2015  
Are those the actual colours of her eyes - wow! Fantastic capture and use of sc. Fav.
August 9th, 2015  
Love the processing and what amazing eyes. Y husband has MS but it's relapsing remitting so often he is well and we don't use the disabled space then, we use it just when he needs it so like you I get very angry at the selfishness of others
August 9th, 2015  
@sangwann They are sort of greeny yellow Dione - depends on the light but I did enhance them a little!
August 9th, 2015  
She does not look very happy about having her picture taken.
August 9th, 2015  
i suppose licking would be better exercise than showering.
August 9th, 2015  
Your POV made me laugh, nice capture and processing, Maggie!
August 9th, 2015  
That's quite the expression! Love your editing
August 9th, 2015  
A striking portrait. I like the sc which really accentuates those amazing feline eyes.
August 9th, 2015  
Just love that green eye....he looks very inscrutable!
August 9th, 2015  
Nice job Maggiemae, it does her justice.
August 9th, 2015  
Lovely portrait and colour selection of the eye.
August 9th, 2015  
clever clever cat capture
August 9th, 2015  
Cool processing!
August 9th, 2015  
LOVE that green eye and the lighting. They do just KNOW about cameras don't they?
August 9th, 2015  
you kill me, maggiemae! you are so funny!
August 10th, 2015  
Neat processing! That green eye looks a wee bit sinister.
August 10th, 2015  
Excellent! :)
August 10th, 2015  
She's giving you the evils ... did you forget her breakfast?
August 10th, 2015  
Love the green eye!
August 10th, 2015  
You may feed her but she's still giving you the "I am completely annoyed with you" look anyway!
August 12th, 2015  
I like the light rings around the cat and her green eyes. Make it appear as though the cat is hypnotizing.
August 15th, 2015  
Oh, yes, the hand that feeds them.....they seem to be partial to it, and don't seem to mind when it is wielding a camera! Beautiful cat....gorgeous eyes! And, I have managed to train my cat to lick my face when I scratch her back.....I call her my "feline exfoliator".....that tongue is rough!!
August 15th, 2015  
@panthora - it is surprisingly rough - good for grooming probably!
August 15th, 2015  
Sweetie!
