[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I don’t photograph cats.

I don’t even comment on cat images.

Because I know nothing about cats.

As I returned home yesterday this fellow came up to me, probably a stray cat left behind by someone…

I’m not sure if he was hungry or wanted his image taken…

Since I don’t know what cats eat (fish?), I took his photograph. My first cat photograph ever.

Here it is.

I’ll probably delete later.

Hello Pablo, I know each of us tries to keep the quality of the gallery high. But I think if you allow the viewer to insight into your private life, it is very refreshing:-) And I am sure this is very nice picture, little bit fuzzy, but your cat has wonderful eyes and she is looking at you with hope you will feet her:-)
Say hi to her:-)
Best regards

il ne demandait peut etre qu'une caresse amicale !!
il est joli de couleur avec des yeux doux !!!!

Fabulosa mirada la de este minino, esperando con curiosidad cualquier cosa.
Muy buenos detalles y muy buen trabajo Pablo.
Hasta pronto, JL.

Hi Pablo,

Well if he came to you, I'll say adopt him! And soon you'll figure out their eating habbits, likes, dislikes etc.

Its sharp photo. Seems she is curious while looking at you. Nice expressions. TFS

Vandana

Bonjour Pablo,
Great picture and POV. I love the eye of the cat, he is very sweet..nice shot Pablo..
Michel

No, Pablo. Dont delete it. Such a lovely little pussycat.
He sure will tell you what he like for dinner.!
Jan

Hi Pablo. We have four cats all of which by rights belong to the one person but if they relied on her to feed them then we would probably have none. A different POV than most cat images and lovely colour and detail. TFS,
David

Wonderfull direct eye contact. Cats often are like women.. the make you melt inside with there looks *__* In Spain there is a proverb:
**La mujer y el oro - lo peuden todo**
(The woman and the gold can get anything) The Cat would also fit in this proverb ...looking to your very nice photo.
Keep this Cat ..it will bring you luck! A cat chooses you, not the other way around. TFS

Hi Pablo.
Very Lovely your first cat. I find it pretty nice.Good portrait and photo.well done.TFS.
Greetings.

Hi Pablo,
I love this cat, look at the wonderful eyes, they tell you so much - of course first that she wants something to eat. They love fish, meat or ham - open a can with tuna and you will see her happy ;-)
But than it's possible she likes to stay at your home ;-)
I love cats and have one - as you perhaps know.
And this one has the same nice eyes than mine.
Thanks and many greetings

The cats are indeed not my choice as a subject either, tough I have given saveral comments on cats. Because a I enjoy watching cats, their different expressions and assorted hues of their coats. I have seen most variety of cats is in the portfolio of Liliana. However, this cat is different and it has something in its eyes, an anxiety or may be a curiosity. Nice capture of an expression, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Hallo pablo..

Hi Pablo,
Congratulations on your first cat photo. Your pov is effective, and the cat seems to be quizzing you. Good details on his eyes and fur. Best regards, Danilo

Excellent POV, colors and details. I like its curious golden eyes and its velvety pink fur.

Hello Pablo,

Congratulations with your Tiger! :)
Very nice cat you have, and very kind photo!

The cats eats a almost everything! For example, an Markus (British cat our) eats olives, Yoghurt, and .... chocolate! :) Please, don't give him a chocolate - it's a very dangerous. However, a turkey and shrimps are more preffer(fresh or prepared).

P.S. Try the "Eucanuba" dry eating for the all cases for him ;)

Hi Pablo,
Please do not delete this photo...the cat's eyes are beautiful as well as the expression.
If you need any advice on cats, don't hesitate to ask...I'm VERY experienced in that field...their habits, personalities, tantrums, diet, toilet habits (using my couch, for example :O )...
Great shot.

Hello Pablo,
please do not!
I love cats, I almost lived with them all my life, and I cannot do without them. So I tell you that this little fellow is really wonderful. Cats eat meat and also fish (but they can hurt with fish-bones), they like milk and sometimes cheese and eggs. Please help him, if you see him again. He has a touching expression...
Wishes,
Violetta

Hi Pablo,
Glad you did not delete this one before uploading. I love the look in his eyes. My husband does not love cats, but when we got a little one to take care of who's mother died, he was the one to take care of the baby-cat all night (something he did not do for our children I might add) so you never know...

Hi Pablo,
It sounds like you will have one moving in with you soon.
You certainly did a marvelous job of cathing this little feline's lush shinny coat and beautfiful expressive yellow eyes.
What I know about cats is the males are much friendlier than the females.
Regards, Tom

he is lovely, Pablo.. just look at the eyes looking at you.. just melt my heart.. probably he is saying please adopt me.. i like the colour pale brown as i once had cat this colour but he died last month.. i still cannot look at monte's picture.. to painful i guess..
