Some days I am lucky to get photos of either kitty because they are hiding in the dark. Dougy chose by the front door. Andy, who was hiding from his daily dose of medicine, hid under the computer desk. Grrr! I don’t have time today to play black-cats-in-dark-places games, but the kitties are doing their best to be difficult!
Here are my heavily Photoshopped results:
Dougy in the dark. No idea why.
Andy in the dark, hiding from his daily medicine dose….
I’ll catch you boys yet! And you, Andy, if I can take my medicine like a big boy, so can you!
Here’s an Andy photo from another day, one when he was enjoying the sun coming in through the back door.
I’m just curious. The boys don’t look too large (taking into account all that fur), but they look like they have pretty good size paws. How big are they?
First, I’ve only recently started following your blog, and I love the humor, photography, and the subhead about it being possibly the only WordPress blog being hosted by mice. Great line, that! Here’s a link to your delightful blog:

Now, to your questions. Yes, they have huge paws, but Andy is only 10 pounds 5 ounces (4,7 kilos) and Dougy is a bit heavier at 10 pounds 12 ounces (4,8 kilos). I think that makes them about average sized for tomcats. Their predecessor, Louie the ginger cat, weighed 23 pounds 12 ounces (10,8 kilos), so the kitty brothers together actually weigh less than their tabby predecessor! You are correct about their size being deceptive because they are long-haired cats. When they get their grooming, they look really tiny in comparison.
I love that sunbeam photo. Nothing like a cat in a sunspot!
Hey! They have to recharge those laser eyes somehow! LOL!
Great photos. Take your meds Andy!
He’s still resisting. Darn kitty!
They are not helping you, I know what you mean. Our Princess, she doesn’t like my camera and she hides from the camera. Not easy for me to take her pictures. But you know I take other cats’ photographs 🙂 Thank you dear WB, Andy and Doughy are so lovely, Blessing and Happiness to you all. Love, nia
Hearing that from one of my favorite photographers makes me feel a bit better! Of course, most of your cat photos are taken outdoors, which helps, though they still are wonderful portraits of this charming animal!
Thank you, cats are so beautiful, and they find me 🙂 Thank you, have a nice weekend, Love, nia
You, too, Nia! I am amazed at how many cats you find to photograph. Is Istanbul one of those places where there are lots of feral kitties?
yes exactly dear WB, we have just came from walking at the Baghdad street and you can’t believe I took so many cat photographs on the way. Later I will share with you all. Thank you, have a nice day, Love, nia
I look forward to them!
But I am still posting from September 🙂 it will take for them. Love, nia
You do take lots of photos!
It makes me happy, it makes me busy… I love to take photograph… 🙂
It shows in you art! And I do regard your photography efforts as art!
