Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Picture of Siegmund
I finally got an acceptable picture of one of the grown up Walsung cats - it's not great, or even particularly good, but it will have to do. The other two (Brunhilda and Sieglinde) look much the same. <http://67.54.246.139:9000/tdavis/cats/red_tabby/siegmund_1.jpg> I do like the expression on his face - he's not used to having a camera shoved in his face. He's about 29 inches / 74 cm. All three of them grew up to be big cats. -- T.E.D.

He looks wonderful -- you'd never *know* he's not used to a camera.

I put them all together as <http://67.54.246.139:9000/tdavis/cats/red_tabby/walsung.html>. The last picture is of Siegmund's most distintive feature: the tightly curled tail. Sieglinde has a slight kink at the end of hers, but it doesn't show. The picture of Sieglinde is almost a miracle: she went into a panic when I brought the camera into the mud room - in the picture she looks relaxed, but she was just changing escape modes. Brunhilda is the largest - she's bigger than all but a couple of my males.  SignatureT.E.D.

I think that photo of Siegmund in front of the computer is the best one. You'd never know he wasn't used to people getting in his face with a camera. Your color-coding is very patriotic. :) I actually can't see the collars at all in the photos, I just read about it on the site. Great shots!

He was being very demanding and outgoing at that time - when I got up to get the camera, he did the weaving in and out of my feet business going and coming (and got kicked a few times). He's also very vocal, and like all my vocal cats, a licker. > Your color-coding is very patriotic. :) I actually can't see the collars > at all in the photos, I just read about it on the site. > > Great shots! The colors were supposed to be red, green, and blue (the additive primary colors), but then I realized that I really only needed to color two of them, and put *any* color on the third to distinguish him/her from the unrelated red tabby (Dandy) and to provide redundency in case one of the colored ones was lost - loss of any two colors, regardless of how many colors were used would still present a problem, but Brunhilda is larger and darker than the other two, and those are of different sexes as well as having distinct tails. Loss of two colors, as happened a couple of times, would require distinguishing between two females, one of whom has a kink in her tail, or between a male and a female - easy enough. SignatureT.E.D.

I've never seen anything like it, though Nikki used to hold her tail in some very excentric poses. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > They're all beautiful.

I have a couple of cats that hold their tails almost parallel with their backs when happy - when most cats hold theirs straight up. Siegmund can hold his tail straight - it's not deformed or anything. It's almost like he rolls it up to keep it out of the way. SignatureT.E.D.

She would also hold it upright with a hook at the top, or with the tip pointing forward. It was very funny and expressive, but I never quite figured out what she was trying to say. Sometimes she would walk side by side with Frank and curl her tail around his back. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.
