Are you sure?



Your video of her tells another story! :smile:
:smile:
If it were another cat trying to attack her she would just roll over on her back an tap her front paws at them.

Pictures that you took
So a tripod doesn't count then?
did you post that picture before
yes, but removed it, since it wasn't part of the dog pic thread.

Yes, it does count. That's why I needed clarification.

This is Scooter, who is very fascinated by the TV screen showing birds feeding at bird feeders.

That is cute! My kitty loves the Animal Planet channel. She is facinated by dogs on the screen.

:smile: Are you serious. I thought that was the nature channel or something. My cat was somewhat unamused by the TV. She would ignore it.

This is kinda funny for my first post. I joined the site to learn all I can about physics and math as I have decided to go back to school. My first post I reply to is for a picture contest. My day job...photography. Old habits die hard. Will I ever learn...
Anyways, this is my cat princess staring down her next victim, a fake mouse.(1 of 4 cats I have!)

You have my vote!

awww.. Zapper.. is that your feline? I love how gracefully cats can navigate through complicated territory like bookshelves and entertainment centers without disturbing any ornamental objects (for the most part, anyway. The rare "oops" moments are pretty funny as long as nothing valuable is destroyed.)

R Metzel that is a very beautiful photo. Is she a Russian Blue?

No, that isn't my cat (I have no cat in the house since Chuck is allergic to cats). That cat lives in Chuck's mom's house in Iowa City.

[re Chuck: the same "Chuck" as in the old Disney thread]

Gee, and I thought the absence of anything Disney-related in the photo was a clear give-away that it wasn't your house. :biggrin:

You'd think they would have caught on by now, no?

Wow, that's a fantastic photo! I think nobody else will have a chance with something that stunning.

Don't worry, General Discussion is where you get to see that people who love science can still enjoy other things in life too, and don't waste away chained to a lab bench (well, except Gagan A who seems to prefer starving to death over parting from his cherished electronic gadgets long enough to take a lunch break).

The cat doesn't look too thrilled, Integral! :)

This reminds me of a t-shirt that I have. It has a picture of a very grumpy looking cat, with a mug of coffee in one of its paw. The t-shirt reads

"Before my morning coffee, I might as well be a dog!"

:)

That's a near perfect realisation of the classic Garfield-Odie dynamic : the smug and cynical cat looking in disdain at the vapidly cheerful tongue-lolling dog. :smile:

Here is Simon lounging by my cousin's pool - a pretty good-natured fellow. A couple of weeks after I did some Simon-portraits for her, she heard him screech and ran out the front door only to see him being killed by a neighbor's Rottweiler. :cry:

Simon looks like the long lost brother to my two guys. I think the Siamese/Tonkanese are just gorgeous cats. It's a shame he met an untimely end.

I'm glad I took the series of Simon portraits for her, although it's been two years, I don't know if she can bear to keep them out. He was a pretty cool cat and she loved him dearly.
