All it took was a bird landing on the fence to go from peaceful angel-like cat dozing in the sun to a cat with possible evil intent in her heart... :) Miss Jess, one of our three cats.

I have 3 ferrel outdoor cats that come to be fed. (I'm allegic so I pet them with my feet!) One hisses at me and looks appealing in between,lol. It's so funny to watch them with the birds in my backyard. This sweetie is adorable! #8924174Pamela Shane September 22, 2010

A wonderful portrait of Miss Jess, from the beautiful lighting to the great detail and pose - great work as always my friend! #8924852Marty Straub September 23, 2010
Ah, she's not capable of evil intent. She's so cute I'd go off into the woods and bring her back a canary in my mouth as a present. I'm sure you spoil her, too, Valarie. And she rewards you with a majestic pose, and you accomodate it with outstanding camera craftsmanship. Beautifful black and white with incredible details. #8925592Candice C. Calhoun September 23, 2010
Miss Jess had her hunting instinct awakened for sure! Fantastic portrait of your gorgeous cat!ccc #8925751

3 kitties? Did I hear you say 3 kitties???Guess how many we have? :))) Same as YOU! Not many people have 3 kitties.
Well, okay, okay. Our neighbors across the alley do, too, but who's counting?
What a darling baby. So precious and I love the treatment you chose, Val!

Cute portrait of Miss Jess, great expression. My cats all live indoors now, so they can only watch the birds outside. My first cat was an indoor/outdoor cat. She was always bringing presents to my door! #8930039Dianna Murphy September 30, 2010
Well why haven't we met her before! What a little dolly. Great tones. #8939806Nancy (Peaches) Harker October 07, 2010
