Caturday's Cat
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 11 October 2008 in Animal & Insect.
A friendly critter I ran into in Hiroshima. It was a cold winter day but the sun was bright and a bit warm. The cat was so obviously happy I had to take its picture.
I posted this picture only because of Kylie Greenan's challenge. In truth, I'm a dog person.

Most of the cats I've seen so far are enjoying the sun so much, lovely to see and the warm colors enhanced by the sun are great. Lovely shot of a very happy cat ;)

A wonderful shot Steve of a Hiroshima 'Moggy". Your subject is enjoying the peaceful happy life it seems, one wonders about the 'moggy's of the past, and hopes that this feline creature is able to keep enjoying life as it seems here. One could write a story about Hiroshima cats, you have captured the essence of this little fella's life...welldone!

Very cute. Sometimes my cat takes a pose for sleeping which seems not very confortable...

how cute - what a gloriously happy cat! one can almost feel the warm fur and happy purr.
a technically nice shot too - I really like the three textures of wall and sidewalk and fur, a great hard/soft contrast in harmonious tones.
