Inspiring Photo: Tommy and the Tractor #13565732

Tommy and the Tractor

Uploaded: November 27, 2012

Description

Meet Tommy, my brother's cat and no, the tractor was not running when I snapped this shot - If it was, Tommy would be nothing more than a fast moving streak of spiked-out cat fur heading for the safety of the house pet door. Smart kitty...and a real ham for the camera. :)

Have a great Tuesday!

Hi Tommy you are a cute kitty. Nice capture Val. #10445052

Laura E. Swan December 01, 2012

We had 3 kitties, Val, and only one of them was like Tommy. Wanting to hang out with us and watch us do things. His name was "Lucky" and he was black and white. The smartest cat I ever saw. He loved to hang out with me as I'd garden. Digging holes along side his "mommy" who was digging holes, too! Lol...Often times he was such a brat trying to distract me from my yard work to vie for my attention. That is until he saw the lawn mower coming out of the garage! Hahahahaha! (BOLT!)

This photo of Tommy on the tractor brings back great memories and is so pretty, colorful and sweet.

I hope we see more of him soon!
