Debbie's Photoblog
the torty tart
Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 19 September 2008 in Animal & Insect.
This is Kitty who felt the need to diplay herself on Am3 She has been with us for about 6 years and knows how to get what she wants. She used to be a timid little cat until we got a dog which she duly terrorises and has moved right up the food chain to be equal with people now (or as she thinks right at the top) MIAOW says kitty to cats all over the world Hello.
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

kylie from Shanghai, China
Now there is a cat with Attitude! I love the look. Kitty has decided that you are Allowed to take this photo. How adorable. I love the title for this too, classic!
19 Sep 2008 6:07am
@kylie: Thanks Kylie she probably did decide that it was ok to take this photo.However I did forget to ask her permission to post it no doubt at some time in the future she will let a baby water rat go loose in the house agin as revenge. This normally happens once a year I wouldn't mind if she bought them in and they were dead!! Looking forward to Caterday your and Kylie idea come to fruition well done

I love the torty tart, what a cutie...what do you mean she thinks she's human? Cats are way better than humans, geesh
ps i didn't write the last part, it was my oldest Kimmi Karamel
19 Sep 2008 11:41am
@Lorraine: Oh no Kimmi Karamel has it exactly right she thinks that she is way superior to Humans
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
All cats are good cats... this one looks like she is pretty much boss... sassy looking cat if you ask me... give her a pat for me... tell her anytime she wants to visit me she is more then welcome...
19 Sep 2008 12:02pm
@Fliss: thanks Fliss have you heard about Caturday oct 11th Kylie Greenans challenge for a Cat photo Day. Somehow I think Kitty and planes may not be a good mix. Considering that she howls all the way to the vet after being stuffed into the cat box, which isn't easier as all 4 legs go out at angles to increase her size to bigger than the cat box. My son sometimes calls her the Witchy woman
Elisa from Massachusetts, United States
beautiful image, those eyes are intense!!
19 Sep 2008 4:15pm
@Elisa: Thanks Elisa have a good weekend
@Rui: thanks Rui
@Ana Lúcia: with that air of superiority

Cats don't have owners they have servants Great shot, I like the colours textures and details. The cat blends well with your couch. Good work.
