Starchy in repose
Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 8 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Went to visit a friend who lives in Nanoose overlooking the ocean. Her home is really a show home and she has five cats. Starchy is the rascal of the bunch but he is so beautiful. Here he is in all his regalness.

What a great portrait, that cat is beautiful - even though I don't care for them. A top class photo Marion.

Ah Cats !! The true "Masters of our world" if you ask me.He looks like a tough old boy though.Great portrait.

@Anthony Lambert: He is a tough old boy. He will give you a smack if you get too close if he doesn't like you. He tolerates me and I can usually get a pat or two in. Is Mom says that he is the cat from hell.

There is something in the way a cat holds itself that is to admire. This one is certainly sure of himself! Great capture of his eyes.

This is one magnificent cat; from those eyes he has the heart of a tiger.

@Viewfinder: He does. He is a real character, but wouldn't think twice about giving you a good swat if you annoy him.
