It just shows how adaptable cats are to technology. They used to just sit on books and papers we were trying to read. Now they have adapted perfectly well to computers, and sit right in front of the monitor we're trying to see.

I don't think they are adaptable to technology. They have just perfected means of staying in the center of our eyesight.

Ah Gizmo and pebbles were born on may 11th, so that would be approaching half a year now. This is the last picture I shot yesterday.

Boy are black cats hard to photograph. Fortunately he has some ten white hairs on his belly.

As can be seen in some earlier pictures, Pebbles loves the vertical.

Good question. Maybe it has to do with retro reflexion of the flash.

It's not here:

but apparently Gizmo is not looking exactly into the lens.
 
  • #44
They look green but they are red eyes.
 
  • #45
I'm familiar with red cat's eye. Are they Borek? You mean the red reflection won't show in the pic? ... Why doesn't that apply to my pics then? I always end up with a red eye in any photo when I look directly into the lens!
 
  • #46
meanwhile they're about 11 month old now.

Gizmo is thanking you for your interest, after the fence walk of course

Pebble's markings are gorgeous. And Gizmo is so shiny, sleek and healthy looking. Great shots, Andre, catching the yellow of their eyes without glare. That's so tough to do with animal eyes.
 
  • #58
I miss Gizmo, no more pics of him :(
 
  • #59
Oh dear, Gizmo is fine, but I'm away from home right now, no access to most pictures. But next week, when back I'll post some.

Good to hear that. Hope you get home safe. :smile:
