I thought I'd tell her story in this picture, just because we were talking about it today :)
Around Winter - Spring time we began looking for another cat, preferably a rescue. So I took a look at Pets4Homes.co.uk, the UK version of Petfinder. I searched in our area and saw a really beautiful ragdoll cat. I clicked on the link and there were two ragdoll cats needing a new home, both around 10-11 months old.
We love ragdoll cats, so we rang up, asked if they were rehoming them individually, they were. We then went along and met Willow, the only one left. She was shy but so sweet and soft, and we couldn't bear leaving her with 4 boisterous boy cats and 2 Alsatians, she was just too girly! ;) So we adopted her, and we're so glad we did.
She's 2 years old, my sweet princess, Willow xo

Ok, another kitten shot. I almost didn't post it here, I don't think it's that great of a photo. But it's a nice capture of mischief reaching the critical point where it's about to turn into disaster.

Weekly Theme: Macro/Close up
Week 20
Taken May 17, 2014
Title: My Arrow
Notes: This week we got to visit my favorite place on Earth, Block Island. But the theme did not lend itself to showing you all this gorgeous paradise, as I had to look closer... however the setting did allow me to shoot some flowers and other flora and that resulted in my alternate shot for this week, the Dandelion. But my final first choice was this shot of my constant shadow, Arrow. He is a nine year old Seal Point Siamese and the photo above was taken as he lounged in the brilliant sun light coming in through the glass door to the deck with my 105 macro. Such a handsome dude! ;-).
ruim 2,5 jaar oud, hij is een sealpoint siamees.
Wit geboren als alle siameesjes. maar nu alleen nog een blanke borst
A todos los animales. Bah, a todos aquellos que tienen como compañero a un animalito, porque dudo que un perro, gato, erizo, iguana, sea monkeys u otro bicho, pueda leer este mensaje.
Yo no sé cómo seria mi vida sin un gato ahora. Qué embole no tener una mascota! Me divierto con ellos...por ejemplo, ayer mientras hacia una maqueta para la facu, ellos se peleaban por el piso, y Milton, con toda su gordura, iba a refugiarse debajo de mi tablero, encima de los cartones. Cuando fui por un cafe, ya con mi maqueta terminada, super prolijita, pensé en voz alta: "Milton dónde estará? A ver si este gato me parte la maqueta..." Y cuando volví a la habitación, ahi estaba él, paradito, como esos gatos egipcios, super estirado, pegado a mi maqueta, con cara de "juro que yo no fui": me habia sacado una varillita que hacia de árbol. =)
Asi y todo, con un árbol menos en mi maqueta, soy feliz!
Feliz de tenerlos, y que ellos me tengan a mi.
=)
Decime mamita...
Y si, ya esta confirmado: Maia tendrá cachorritos para el 21 de septiembre!!!
Ahh aclaro!
No los pienso regalar! bah, si tiene 2 me los quedo, pero si tiene mas, ufa, ok, tendre que separarme de ellos!!!
This was a very lucky shot, as it was the first day I took any time to learn how to use my camera. Most of them were pretty bad.
The rabbits seemed rather upset and a little worried when it started snowing. They crept around quite carefully and then started to push away the snow with their front paws. It was quite a funny sight! Although the snow was only about 2 inches deep, it's the most snow we've had in over two years!
Kidding, he was just yawning!

Den Haag Tijdens een wandeling stond ik voor een etalage iets te fotograferen. ik mocht ook binnen even komen kijken en zag er een paar leuke dingen waaronder de panorama's ,de bovenste uit 1939.
Thank you so much! These 2 little girls are litter mate sisters. Thier mother was picked up by the pound and scheduled to be fixed/abort the babies. Mama delivered before they got the chance. The pound contacted a local rescue foster group to see if they would foster the mama and newborns. The foster mother was so wonderful and worked everyday with these 2 little girls. Even though their mama isn't fond of people, these 2 kittens are the sweetest most loving things ever! They are 8 months old now. The torti is Mouse and the Siamese is Sparta. I love this photo because how much it shows their personality. Mouse is the mischievous one, always into trouble. Sparta is the angel. hehe
I am so happy we decided to adopt both girls. They have been so much fun for my family.
In 1988 a gamekeeper at Dufftown, North East Scotland, trapped a large black cat in a fox trap. It had a slim muscular body, long legs and a long whip like tail – all typical of a black Oriental domestic cat. Di Francis suggested that in profile, its head looked rabbit-like with a small brain-case and long Roman nose. She convinced herself – and others unfamiliar with domestic breeds -that it was a primitive unknown cat species. In fact, all extant pictures of the Dufftown cat show a triangular face, large ears and long nose. It was apparently extremely ferocious and the gamekeeper had to shoot it from a distance.
In 1993 a similar cat was seen swimming after wildfowl near East Kilbride. The gamekeeper set his two dogs to scare the cat away. He claimed that the cat attacked the dogs so ferociously that he had to shoot the cat to protect his dogs from the assault. Francis referred to this cat as the second rabbit headed cat. Another such cat had apparently been killed by a gamekeeper on the Revack Estate and much earlier, in 1938 near Elgin, a gamekeeper attempted - and failed - to tame a feral kitten which photos showed to be a “rabbit headed “cat.
Although Francis suggests that these are an undiscovered primitive species, it is more than likely that they are hybrids between Scottish Wildcats and Siamese-type domestics. Between 1873 and 1904, the Scottish Wildcat was experimentally crossed with various domestic breeds, including the Siamese, and some of these hybrids were exhibited at early British cat shows. Because they inherited the untameable ("queer-tempered") temperament, domestic x wildcat hybrids often returned to the wild. In an area with few native Scottish Wildcats and a greater number of hybrid cats of Oriental breed type, the Oriental type could come to predominate.
She pointed to the Roman nose, large ears and narrow muzzle as indicating a new species, but all of these traits indicate the wedge-shaped head of a Siamese/oriental cat". Seal-point Siamese cats are genetically black and is a comparable case of Siamese/Wildcat hybridisation at Halle Zoo: a male Steppe cat (F libyca caudata) and black longhaired female domestic cat produced 3 wild-tempered shorthaired offspring. One of those kittens was mated to a male Siamese, producing black offspring (H Petzch, 1958, 1959). Inbreeding among hybrid wildcats with Sealpoint Siamese ancestry would easily produce the type of cats found at Dufftown and Elgin. Such hybridisation may have occurred at a time when gamekeepers routinely shot Wildcats so that surviving Wildcats bred with any domestic cat available. Feral cats and Wildcats are ferocious when trapped, but reports of them being shot purely because of their ferocity endangering man or dog are probably an excuse since gamekeepers generally shoot feral or domestic cats on sight.
