One of my favorites...
...both the cat and the picture.
Chauncey was one of the first cats I photographed - way back at the beginning of June - for our FB page at work. He was boarding with us and at the time he was almost a nonentity. He was neither extremely mean nor friendly so no one had strong feelings about him one way or the other. He ate well and had formed stool so he wasn't a worry that we had to monitor closely. He's 14 and so was neither a young cat who wanted to get out of his cage and play nor was he a geriatric cat who needed to be medicated and needed lots of encouragement to eat and to move around. He was pretty much invisible.
He's been back to board with us for a couple days each month since then so I've gotten to know him and he's now one of my favorite cats in the entire practice. He's very cute even though he's not a stand out. He loves attention but doesn't seek it. He loves to get out of his cage and explore and will even follow me around but never asks to be let out. I now take pictures of him almost daily when he's with us and send them to his owners, who it turns out, are completely besotted with him and miss him terribly when they're away.
So in the end, he is cherished at home and adored when he comes to board with us.
I may not be on Flickr much over the weekend because I still have 92% of Tess of the D'Urbervilles to read for book group before Monday evening!
