Why me

These are my daughter Stacey's cats. Jaffa in the middle often looks at you in a way as to ask why she has to live in a house full of rough males. Top left is Wicki, top right is Arthur, bottom left Bundy, bottom right Bailey. The background is Gracie the dog. BG lens aperture F/3.2, shutter speed 1/97sec, focal length 18mm.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I had to laugh about the background, Susan. Kitty, knowing Stacey she would say yes, I'm so thankful we don't live closer!!! #6863301

This is an AWESOME collage! I thought the BG hair might be YOUR HAIR and I was very envious!!! Ha! Their names are a real hoot and they look just as precious as they could be! All three of ours around here are males. Only ten minutes ago the dominant one tried to spray on the firewood we just brought in! Had to intercept! MALES!!!

I don't envy Jaffa! Ha! xx-Laura #6863408

Excellent cat collage, including your choice of bg, Chris! You did a great job capturing their classic cat expression: "Siiiiiigh..." #7201374

Thanks Mary. At present Bailey is in hospital in Sydney getting treated for Hyperthyroidism, Bundy has gone to keep him company. Also, RM (my eldest daughter's cat)is getting treated for liver trouble & is back in hospital. RM is in my gallery, "OK, scratch my back". #7201787

A quick update, since I last wrote Gracie has passed away, we are not sure why, all we know it was from some kind of plant toxin. #7227822
