Weekly Photo Challenge, “Photo Story a Single Subject”
the subject from me, PhotoGraphics is:
“Photo Story a Single Subject”
Having something new around to photograph is always nice. Our newest subject matter is a cat who wandered into our lives. It, (a male we discovered finally) has proved to be a willing subject for the camera. So,
My Photo Story,
“The Cat”
“the CAT” showed up at the end of our drive when my sisters were visiting in June. It sat for hours watching us work, fixing a garden spot. It left for short periods but always came back to give us “the look”.
My pre-potted tomatoes had small fruit on them and the cat licked its lips attempting a show of vegetarianism but we knew different and finally gave in and purchased cat food which it turned its nose up/down at. I’m not sure if it was disdain at the dog bowl it was being fed in or the food.
“The CAT” finally became more comfortable with its surroundings, ate the food offered and after eating its meals it did some fastidious cleaning of itself. When tired, our birdbath became the resting place of choice.
In its sparkling white and black coat it began moving about much more confident of a meal on our doorstep and as our reward, it began posing in its strong, catlike poses to impress us.
As we were duly impressed with its deliberate cuteness it noticed and proceeded to take over the outdoors knowing it had us hooked with its sly picturesque peeks.
And then, in cat-like fashion, it got pushy and brought friends. I believe there may be close to a dozen strays plus a Racoon or two eating the leftover tidbits from its bowl. I’m keeping records, taking photos and wondering, “just who, me or it, will make the next move”.
Have a fun week and keep on taking those photos,

hahah…i love this post! the story is lovely and the cat is cute! sooner or later it will probably take over your garden of course! hahaha…my dad always says the real home owner is a cat not human because they live and spend most of its time in our house and we gotta feed it too! so who’s real master? xD
So, I am guessing if we set this to music it would be….ready for this? ……”I’m too Sexy for my Fur.”?
This is a great entry for the Challenge.
This is great I also love the idea—-will deffinately participate
The birdbath shot is priceless!
The shot of the birdbath makes me want to take a nap!
Lovely story Becca , great photo of the cat in the bird bath.
Well that is a lovely story Becca and beautifully illustrated. I expect to see it asleep on your couch next.
Hi Becca!
I just messaged you about… the party!
Your story is so nice… And do you feed the 12 cats and the 2 raccoons?
Let us see them all! Please!
“Cat” is so cute, with his little black nose…
Have a wonderful week!

lovely story! The one of the bench is my favorite!
Great story and I love the cat in the bird bath. Obviously the cat has scared off any potention birds. The cat has great eyes as well.
That was glorious! I think your next move should be to give one of the other cats unnecessary amounts of attention right in front of Mr. Black&White, and see if he gets jealous and tries to earn your affection by bringing you flowers and chocolates… or dead mice. That tends to be their way… Maybe it’s not such a great idea.
Anywho, I always look for your post to the challenge first, so it’s really helpful when it’s so close to the top all the time. Don’t be shy. =P
@closethippie - I had to laugh at your comment “too sexy for my fur”. It fits this cat, it’s getting more like the owner than the cat every day.
@Sezwick - You called it about right. The cat brought us a mouse just this week. I have pictures. Hope you are doing well.
