caturday

whbeebe




A Saturday without cats is an empty day; I suppose I could say that about every day. The two top photos are of Zoë and momma Joan Jett. They’re dilute Torties, a variant of Calico. If you look closely you can see black, white, gray and touches of ginger in their coats. They both share the same green eye color, but Zoë’s is more intense than mom’s. Of course Lil’ Danï is also Joan’s offspring, and she’s all Ginger. And everybody in this group is polydactyl. It would have been interesting to know who the male was that sired them.

The last two are Luke and Beau in various napping positions. Although the last photo might be of Luke as well; who can tell all curled up like that.

Cameras were all Olympus; Pen F with the Leica 25mm for all except Joan, OM-D E-M1.2 with the 2.8/12-40mm PRO for her’s.

another kitten anniversary

While the kittens may have been born on, or around, St. Patrick’s Day, they were born in the wild. This photo is of the kittens from a year ago, right after being rescued over in the Tampa area by The Runaways Animal Rescue ( https://www.runawaysanimalrescue.org/ ). The head of the organization sent me this photo today, along with several others that were taken when the kittens were rescued.

Zoë is second from the left and Danï is far right. Both are vocalizing. Nothing’s changed much. I’m sure they were calling for momma Joan who was still out there. They picked up Joan the next day. Once everyone was back together momma Joan was an excellent mother to all four, nursing them until they were old enough to be weaned and then adopted by my wife and I.
