Well here's my kat. He's a cantankerous, lazy, overweight, always hungry, fraidy-cat but I guess that's why I like him. Not an easy client to photograph though. And here's my pet Parrot. I like him a lot! He always talks to me. His favorite phrase is "It's hot". and "What's up". He's my pal.

My Bella is 18 years old and deaf. She YOWLS really loudly and loves to get into my knitting.

Not really a pet but the photo-op was there and I took the shot. Canon kit lens EF 75-300mm f/4.8-5.6 III. This shot was from approx. 15ft wide open RAW. It has decent reach but shows horrendous Chromatic Aberrations (CA) and fringing that is hard to remove in post processing. I guess that's why canon gives them away with the camera purchase. But even with all that the lens does capture nice pictures on a tripod and timer. We call these birds Morning Doves or Grey Doves. They're to the neighborhood what pigeons are to the city...no car is safe.

We have a lot of doves also. Ring-necked ones on the Central Coast. Had a lot of Morning doves where I lived in L.A.

He thinks he's a lion but really he's just a dandelion.

Not mine, but I could visit... as long as I brought treats for hand feeding

You got to have some real brass ones and be awfully familiar with that tiger to do something like that John. I'll bet he cost a small fortune to up keep. When your tiger starts eating better than you do something has got to change.

Pic is from about 20 years ago, Kulia (her name) has now passed from old age

She was raised indoors until about 6 months old and getting big enough that she was destroying furniture... never doing anything to harm her owners, but simply too large to keep inside a house

I met her when she was about 8 months old (in the picture) and she really liked visitors, especially with treats

I only ever visited with her owner, and she was always very friendly... especially when I had treats (see the trend here?)

I did, of course, listen to her owner about those things NOT to do... such as turning my back, because a Tiger's natural hunting instinct (or even when playing with another Tiger) is to go for the back of the neck

Wife said no animal larger than she is... so we had the Serval

Look at the excitement on his face.     He looks like a youngster on his way to the ice-cream parlour by way of McDonalds.

jane-e​  Thanks for your thoughts re Billy.  He was a dear wee thing, and I really loved him.  After the vet had prodded his tummy and said it was not looking good, he wriggled away and climbed up on me and clung on with his head in my face.  I am not embarrassed to say that I lost it at that point.  Ruby is timid and shy, and we have several gangs of tradespeople coming and going for the next few months, so probably not a good time to be getting a kitten.

Can I see you for a few tips on keeping these guys in the house when I get the all clear?  It would be a shame to have your expert knowledge go untapped.

I do sympathize about Billie. Cats are never with us long enough. At least she knew she had a good home and was loved.

Now everyone else is gone and the 18-year-old cat is the only one left, and I don't know how much longer even she will be here. It was endless amusement having three cats, even if they didn't all like each other.

If you don't want the three in your photo, send them to me—they should make nice pets for at least a year! Or maybe less.

If a cat could be a big cat and be domestic, that's what I would like to have, is what I always said when we walked around the big cat enclosures at the National Zoo.
