Cooling off
We are having such a heat wave! It hit 90° (Fahrenheit) over the weekend. This fellow is a frequent visitor and found a cool spot for a nap.
His markings are really interesting. From a distance (and with my glasses off) he looks like a Siamese, but up close, you can see his points are not sable-colored, but grey tabby. He also has those blue Siamese eyes. He’s pretty shy, so I could only shoot him through a window screen, but these photos show the tabby markings:
Tabinese or…
Siatabby?
I think he may be a stray so I’ve been feeding him. Maybe he will become less skittish and let me get a decent photo….

Beautiful and interesting cat. Look like he has a bit of a hidden mean side on the second picture ..

Yes – I think he’s a scrapper. He’s got some notches in both ears and a scar on his nose. My cat seems to like him though, and she’s pretty territorial. And, he has very nice table manners! 😉

better pixures? yours are pretty good already. over the years we’ve inherited some of our herd due to them adopting us. one of my favorites was a kitten abandoned in the field below our house, and my daughter still has her brother — some 13 or so years later. presently not only do we have “our 7” but apparently feed at least a couple others. and just night i chased a raccoon who wasn’t that scared out of our garage ~

There are too many homeless cats. I read an article about a municipality somewhere (California, I think) where animal services neutered stray cats that were brought in and then cut them loose – instead of killing them when the shelter got full. Seems like a good idea, and more humane than just euthanizing them.

THAT is done at a few places in Colorado also

That’s really wonderful! I would never bring an animal to a shelter here. They try to find homes for them, but there are just too many and the shelters do kill them if they can’t home them. So, I just feed them and slap some antibiotic goop on their war wounds.

I think he has a problem with his left eye. I can’t really tell, because he won’t let me get too close yet, but I think it gives him a squint.

Yes, it gives him a constipated look. 🙂
