A few new kitty portraits...

[Glacier]

Some of the cats were cooperative models this afternoon, others not so much! Here's some pics of the good models!

Kasha and her very dirty nose. She just won't stop sticking her whole face into the canned food!

Polly Paws agreed to a picture or two without using her many claws.

Even let me get a nice close-up of her. (Polly Paws hates me and has been known to use her 27 claws on me frequently. She is my hubby's cat, despite the fact that I saved her little life!)

Last, but not least by any means...

Beau doing his best "get me some food" scowl!

[Cinder & Smoke]

WOW! :)

Did you really get THAT close to them - or are those close-ups thanks to your
ZOOoom Lense?

Whichever it is - GREAT Shots!!

:D

Beautiful pictures of gorgeous cats. Thanks for sharing them with us.:)

[CatLuvrs]

Great Pics I Just Love Polly Paws!

[CultureJunky]

Polly Paws look so cuddly! But oh beau I just love you, you make my heart skip a beat I just wish I could scoop you up in my arms and give you tons of loves!

[Catty1]

How is Beau? Gaining any weight? (hard to tell from the close-up!) :)

ALL beautiful pics - thanks for sharing!

[Queen of Poop]

They're all lovely. Beau, did you get some food after that scowl?

Exactly what I was thinking as I looked at the portraits! Those are really some good pictures. I can almost feel that fur :) My favorite is Glacier. LOL at Sasha's dirty nose.

[Blue_Frog]

I really like the the picture of Poly Paws sitting up straight -- the light coming in from the side really makes her stand out (that and the indignant look ;) ). I love her eyes too!

[catmandu]

They all certainly look very cooperative, and they look as though they love having thier Photos taken.
They are so Photogenic, and thier Purrsonality really shines through.

Absolutely beautiful portraits!! :)

[Corinna]

Love those kitties

[lvpets2002]

;) How so adorable they all are.. Polly Paws I just love your markings..

:D

Bit of both! Beau and Kasha let me get right in their faces so no zoom with them. I didn't want Glacier to move so I got as close as I could and zoomed the rest. Polly Paws really does hate me so I stayed out of claw range with her and zoomed lots!

[Glacier]

They're all lovely. Beau, did you get some food after that scowl?

I always get food! All I do is scowl or yowl a few times! I have my own foodies and my own special bowl and I get to eat on the kitchen cupboard where cats are not allowed! My new Meowmie was quite easy to train! :p
Purrs

[Prairie Purrs]

Gorgeous portraits!

And I literally feel your pain concerning Polly Paws and her extra claws! :eek: I have four extremely clingy polydactyls, and they use those extra claws to get an extra-tight grip. Gatsby likes to to jump in my lap, hook his front claws into my shirt, and just kinda hang there. :rolleyes:

[Glacier]

How is Beau? Gaining any weight? (hard to tell from the close-up!) :)

ALL beautiful pics - thanks for sharing!

He's doing alright. He seems much happier now, purrs lots, likes to cuddle and he's eating really well. He's not gaining any weight, but he's not loosing any either! He has gained about half a pound back from his lowest, but he seems stuck where he is right now(just under 7 pounds). My vet says it's more important that he's not loosing, gaining would be a bonus.

Lovely pictures, Glacier's is particularly nice. And it IS good of you to provide the kitties with a canine entertainment system!

[Logan]

What great pictures!!!!! :)

[ramanth]

They are all great closeups but I especially love Beau's whiskers! :D

[jenluckenbach]

These babies are gorgeous, and I hate to be picky.....but where is Boots??? ;)

[kimlovescats]

All of your kitties are SO BEAUTIFUL! We really need to see them more often! ;)

[orangemm]

What Jen said!

Gorgeous fuzzbutts and gorgeous pictures!

(love that Beau)

[Bengalz]

I always LOVE your photos - these are exceptional :D Thank you for giving us all some kitty heaven today :) Can't pick a favourite -- am just enjoying them all!!

[Vermontcat]

All of you cats are so unique and all so beautiful too! :D
I agree with Jen too, please post a photo of Boots for us. :)

[rg_girlca]

WOW Glaciers picture is breathtaking. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Kasha, you are such a pretty girl, even with that dirty widdle nose of yours.

Polly Paws is such a gorgeous looking cat, but from what you say about her claws, I think I will just admire you from a distance. :D

Handsome Beau, how happy I am to hear that you are doing so much better. :)

Great pictures.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

GREAT pics Tamara!!!
Wow, I love Beau's white whiskers!!
