Cat Forum / General Topics / July 2004Mudpie picture ... at last
Black cats are hard to photograph well, and black cats that have their 'place' under the bed even more so. Mudpie is almost all black, about two years and nine months old, and spends his time under the bed, too close (lap) to photograph, or out of the yard hunting. Recently he struck a pose on the ironing board I put under a bedroom window - partly for a place to leave it and partly as a place for the cats to look out the often open window - and held the pose long enough for me to go get my camera and take the picture: <http://gearbox.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/mudpie-at-window.jpg>. I think rehoming Sebastian was the key to having Mudpie make himself more available: he took over the beta cat position and so has no reason to be inconspicuous now (as long as he doesn't challenge Fleagor, nobody will bother him).

Is that his "I vont to be alone" pose? Looks like a great comfy windowseat, too. Sherry >That's a good picture! Is that his "I vont to be alone" pose? >Looks like a great comfy windowseat, too. He wasn't alone when I first noticed him, but he was by the time I got back with the camera. Both of them had been intent on watching something outside, but as usual, I never saw what it was. That window seat *is* very popular: often there are four or more cats there, sometimes, when it's sunny, lying in one or more heaps, all smiling, even the ones on the bottom. T.E.D.

For purposes of photography, he is a black cat, but he really is black and white. T.E.D.

How many pounds is he? -Nicole >>There is some modeling in the picture, and his (small) locket is just >>visible (but not the larger white patch between his hind legs). For [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >He's beautiful! He looks like a half size version of my oldest! How >many pounds is he? I don't know - at least twelve. He's the beta cat - behind Fleagor in size and weight, but he's catching up on weight. (Tigger outweighs both of them, but he's not big enough otherwise to count - he's just fat.) I just noticed yesterday evening that he is really a very dark brown. He was in about the same spot as in the picture and the sun was shining on him. T.E.D.
