  Hands-down winner for the role of "Mehitabel." If you haven't read the collection of Don Marquis (New Yorker)--circa 1920s-- "essays"-- You must. Archy and Mehitabel. Archy was a cockroach who wrote all the essays by jumping on the keys of a typewriter in a newspaper office. Mehitabel was his best friend--an alley cat. [check this out...Mehitabel isn't in it, but this was my favorite...If you're a cockroach, you cannot hold the shift key down while typing].

  What a wonderful capture! She does not look to happy with you! :) My friend was photographing at a animal "no kill" shelter yesterday. I have to admit I liked playing with the cats more than the dogs :)

  It's another fascinating sight Val, love the colors on this neigborhood cat. It stands out against the almost monochromatic color of the tree and the background. The piercing look seems to challenge anyone that dares to stray into her territory. Excellent work as always.

  Good Lord! You know I am a LOTW's and you would think I'd be used to such a sight but it's not often I see a cat that should win GOLD! Look at that "LOOL!"

WOW!

This image is what story books are written after. She's a beauty and looks so healthy. That odd branched tree really make this a unique sight.

Great job Val!!! 10/10 from me. (I am seeing so many great photos on BP today! It's a pleasure to be in your gallery!)

-Y LOTW :) !

  Thanks to all of you for stopping by and dropping a comment - as always, much appreciated! (And thank you, LOTW - I think if that happened, I would just have to go out and buy the stinkiest and most expensive can of cat food I could find (that only a cat could love!) and sit and hand feed Ms. L'il Bit every morsel myself!!!) :) :)

  Oooo! I feel the first CAT STORY coming on. She is famous and rich and everyone spoon feeds her canned "Mice" The tree she sits in is velvet padded and she wears a little cape and crown!

What do you think??? Best seller? Children swarming "Coles Book Stores" everywhere fighting over signed copies?

:D

  Wellllll...it's possible but think it would take a frontal lobotomy to turn the likes of Ms. L'il Bit into a pampered and petted rich kitty...let's put it this way...if she was a dog, she'd be wearing a spike collar and gnawing on a bone the size of a dinosaur leg! :)
