[NoahsMommy]

I LOVE them Thelmalu!!!!!!!

Danny looks like my Noah and Elvis looks just like Noah's litter mate that was kept by the owners!!! How cute!!!!

Noah wants to know who stole his face! :)

[Pam]

Thelmalu, great pictures!! My kitties have that catnip snake too!! Your little babies are so cute but then I am a sucker for little orange boys. :)

[zippy-kat]

What furry-o-shus felines ya got! I think they might drown someone in the sea of love and head butts!

Cuties!!!

[AdoreMyDogs]

Those are some gorgeous perfection kitties :) I love orange fellas, and they are both stunning. I love the tufts of fur at the tip of Danny's ears.

[AvaJoy]

What handsome fellows they are!!! Elvis has such an interesting face! Jack Daniel is much darker than my Meeshe; a true orange tabby! Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos! :)

Hi thelmalu99 ,
I see you love red-cats... they are so cute. My first 2 cats were just like yours! and now I have 2 red ones in my back yard... :p

[thelmalu99]

Thank you, thank you everybody >gush< I was so happy when I got my pictures back, you would have thought someone had just handed me a million dollars. :D

Pam, Elvis LOVES his nippy snake. He usually won't even let Danny play with it. :rolleyes:

[Logan]

What gorgeous pictures, Thelma!!! :D :D :D I'd love to give both of those precious boys a big hug!!!

Great photos of great kitties, Thelmalu! Its always terrific to see the special pets we know so well in text here at PetTalk.

Here's a note for photographers of cats - notice in the first two pictures of Elvis, the different sizes of his pupils. Most people respond to big eyes (wide open pupils) in a positive loving emotional way. And they perceive the slitted pupils as being more aggressive or less baby-like.

So, when you are taking pictures of your cat, and want a particular mood or emotion conveyed, remember the lighting. A cuddly cat with narrow pupils will look wonderful to its owner, but others will not be as drawn to the cat. Its a body language thing!

And of course, if your cat has wide open pupils, you are more likely to get the red-eye syndrome in your pictures. It sure can be a struggle to get just the right lighting with pet portraits. :eek:

[thelmalu99]

AntiPam,
Lighting, and in Elvis' case, a little catnip. ;)

As much as I love the second pic of El because he looks so sweet and cuddly, I have to say that my fave is the first one because you can see the real color of his eyes. Also because he looks like the bad boy that he really is! http://bbs2.fanforum.com/images/smilies/LOL.gif

[thelmalu99]

Don't mind me, I'm just going to post two more. This is so much fun!

I love picture #2. I have a sofa pillow that is a needlepoint of an old master style painting only instead of a noblewoman it is a cat -- holding a fish. The fine gown, the jewels wrapped around the head with a pendant on the forehead. Hard to describe but the look on Elvis' face in the second photo puts me in mind of it. He looks so noble, so elite, so regal. It is the perfect pose for a portrait of the Duke of Queens!

[thelmalu99]

Duke of Queens, LOL! Don't tell him that! He already thinks he's the king of the castle/apartment, LOL!

[catwoman]

Oooooh, Thelma! Danny and Elvis are so beautiful!

Thank you for pointing me to this thread ... I can't believe I missed it!

I love Elvis' big "bunny ears" in the one picture. So cute! And Danny DOES look like a red Noah! Love those BIG eyes ... :eek:

You are one lucky two-legger, my friend!

[wolflady]

Awwwww...what cuties!!! Give them some big squeezes for me!! :)
Ok, I have to admit that I had a brain fart. Looking at the first 2 pics of Elvis...it almost didn't look like the same cat...and I was thinking...why is that?? It's because his eyes are dilated in the 2nd pic and not in the first!!! LOL LOL Ha ha ha ha ha...Ok, I know I'm dumb, but I thought it was funny how the dilation of the eyes almost make the cat look totally different!!! :rolleyes:

[yorkster]

Those are awesome pictures, and what beautiful cats they are! I really like the last pic of Elvis laying on his back- he looks like quite the little 'poser'

[gini]

Oh, your babies are wonderful. But then my current love is this large orange cat named Rascal. I am glad to see ears intact, Rascal arrived with some battle scars.

Where did you find that cute catnip snake, I think that has to be on my Christmas shopping list.

Again, what wonderful guys, Daniel and Elvis and thanks for sharing.

[thelmalu99]

Gini, Petco has the catnip snake:

It's one of the few toys Elvis will play with. He loooves his crackly nippy snake!

Chuck,
LOL, yeah, that's one of the reasons I decided on the name. I figured a cool cat needs a cool name and one of the options was Fonzie (glad I decided against that one!). I thought to myself, if Lennon had a cat named Elvis, then the name is double-cool! ;)

[NoahsMommy]

thelmalu,

I just ordered Noah his very own snake!! He's going to LOVE it!! Thanks for the link.
