I thought I'd share a couple photos of two of our farm kitties. Chief was born this summer, to a wild mama kitty named Damn Cat. (We haven't been able to catch her and have her fixed, so she's named...) Chief is Alan's little buddy. He follows Alan everywhere, always helping (getting in the way), always supervising. The ladies at the vet's office *loved* him... I imagine it's hard to tell he's spoiled rotten. *grin*
This is Shazam, born last fall. Her mama is Damn Cat as well. Notice the trend? Shazam has always been very playful and while she doesn't really "like" the kittens, we catch her playing with them now and then. She's still pretty punchy. I don't think I've ever been able to touch her, but Alan has and just one time is all it takes for a quick visit to the vet. She's never too hip on having her photo taken, and she sure gives me a serious look when the camera is pointed at her! It doesn't look like she's missed a meal -- ever. Fat and happy, just like we like 'um!
LMAO, Anna -- I had a DC growing up. Yes, Damn Cat, but I didn't know what it stood for when I was 6, LOL!!

Your photography is truly breathtaking!

ok, so shazam is pretty much identical to my cat, Wheezy. (she had an upper respitory infection when we found her....) I even had to go and get her to see...yep. That's weird! =) Love the pictures!!!

Awww, Chief looks so regal in that photo. Both are cuties.
...and I have to tell you, I love the name Damn Cat. ROFL..will have to remember that one. I think that's what my DH would love to call ours! :)

Love the kitty cat pics. Chief looks like a couple of kittens I saw for adoption from a cat rescue. Their names were Jennifurrr and Junipurrr. Aren't those cute spellings? Keep sharing the photos of your critters!!

Chief has a sweet little face and Shazam looks serious! They both are precious...you know me and kitties!!

Anna, Your kitties are beautiful. Chief looks a lot like our Harley. Whom I might add is doing great since his surgery. Thanks for sharing your wonderful kitties with everyone. We just returned home from a 5 day trip to CA and boy were our kitties happy to see us again.

Again. I find it amazing that wild animals pose for you! It is a special gift I guess.

I love seeing your 2 beautiful cats. I have 2 of my own and wouldn't trade them for anything. We rescued our 5 year old male at the pound and got our 2 year old female from one of the teachers I work with because she was biting her little girl. She does fine here. I think she just doesn't like little children (or strangers).

Great pictures, as usual! I so enjoy all the farm animals...I keep trying to talk my husband into letting me have chickens (after I saw the ones you have and the ones you ordered) but no such luck!We have the space and no close neighbors, but we do have foxes pass through. Oh well, our seven(yikes!!) kitties keep me busy and broke! What with special foods and needs! Seems the strays find there way here......

What beautiful cats, your photography is just amazing!

Awww. Chief reminds me of our family cat growing up. His name was "Caramel". Great photos, even if the Shazam is a tad bit persnickety!

Darn it, I was experiencing a cat-free moment here at the computer and now I'll bet they all come running in here jealous as all get out! lol!
great stalking of Shazam. :)

Oh, I love the kitty pictures! You are such an amazing photographer...
I would LOVE to pet those kitties! I'm sure Chief is a great help to Alan; as most cats, he's probably "in charge"!!
Have a wonderful day...

What beautiful cats and pictures! I love the color of Chief's fur!

Thanks for the kitty pics. Love how you captured that :loook: Chief reminds me of a stray I looked after years ago, with the same peach nose..
Posted by: CKMom | September 01, 2008 at 07:17 AM
Great photos! I think Chief is definitely a cutie!
Posted by: Cindy H. | September 01, 2008 at 06:52 AM
The way you capture their eyes is so amazing!
ps - I have a note for you on my blog
Posted by: hb | September 01, 2008 at 06:03 AM
It's incredible how one tiny shutter of your magic lens has captured these kitties' personalities. Your photography and stories make your blog one of my very favorites....as do your designs of course.

Shazam gets my vote for best looking! What a beautiful cat, and so nice of him to pose for the camera...
