I'm counting my Blessings

Uploaded: November 01, 2007

Description

Meet Tuxedo. He wandered in few days before StrayGray passed away, covered in ticks. I had to lock him up so StrayGray could relax in the yard. He obviously took this as an invitation to stay. He has had a visit to see the vet & seems to be well settled in. He's counting his blessing after stumbling on this family of suckers. One day I'll find that sign!!! Lens aperture F/2.8, shutter speed 1/60sec, focal length 6mm, taken today, indoors.

Tuxedo is one handsome guy Chris! I had to laugh at your comments ... Cats don't miss much do they! I'm glad Tuxedo has found himself a good home

So glad to hear you gave him a home, can't say no to a beautiful cat! Great capture and loved the description, made me laugh! #5015285

You could not have picked a better name for him if you tried.. and what a beautiful cat he is.. we have a black fellow and I cannot get a good photo of him as he is so black and shiny the photo will not capture him.. this fellow is georgeous..Laney #5018126

Thank you all. Yesterday I decided I would let him out to walk around while I was working in the yard. He more or less said, "wake up, I'm not going outside, you're not getting rid of me that easy & went back to bed". #5027774

Thanks Ken. Tuxedo is a very affectionate cat, always pleased to see you. Nineteen sure is old, I've never had a cat that long, though I lot of them I don't really know their age. #5428868
