Vinny, how’bout some photos of your cats?
It’s pretty easy to find pictures of random cats on the Internet. There are 2, maybe even 3 site out there.
Plus, your cats are cool. Have any shots of them interacting with each other?
Also, do you have one of those tubular cities for the mice?

In my binary world, when my camera is out at music events, my softball and basketball games, I'll generally take 150 to 1,000 pictures at each event. At home the camera rarely comes out. I forced myself to finally pull it out to take all those pictures of ALL my pets on January 1, 2020. First time I'd taken any pictures of them in nearly two years, shortly after I acquired all the cats. And, first time for any of the rats or gerbils.

No tubular cities. Those things take absolutely forever to take apart, clean, and put back together. Learned my lesson regarding those years ago. Now it's just straight easy-to-clean aquariums for all the gerbils. Rats are either in a bird cage (easy to clean) or a huge ferret home (not as easy to clean).

I guess that makes the rest of us those non-binary folks the news keeps talking about

*Obv not counting high end DSLR.

I guess I may be a photo snob. I don't see a phone being able to compete with my camera in terms of picture quality and versatility. It's is what I am used to and phone pictures would be quite an inferior experience for me.

That camera is within reach. It comes down to the inertia of putting a card into it, taking the card out to put in a reader in this computer, copying from the reader to this computer. That's all worth it for 150 to 1,000 pictures at a clip. Not for two or three. Which explains why I rarely use my camera at home. No events happening around here!

Black cat on a black cushion = awesome photo. I think I found the cat on it.

Here's one of my cat contemplating the seedlings I'm growing for my community garden plot:
And another one in the "cat in the bag" series!

Very attractive cats.

Totally beautiful face on the bottom one. Kitten-like.

Vinny

Nice pics WiseOne!

My cats would totally say that, MangoMan.

Dualstow don't be in a hurry to get rid of that avatar. Happy kitty position #1, so cute!

She is a cutie, isn't she. And she would totally eat me. ;-)
Well the emergency plan is that Mrs Dualstow gets to eat me, and eventually the cat gets to eat Mrs D.
Got to keep this cat happy.

FINALLY!

You have been holding out on us! Depriving us!

Lily does not look like she misses any meals! What does she eat and how much does she weigh?

VInny

Sorry, Dualstow, could not resist putting THIS one here! It so looks like one of the many black cats that so many of us here seem to own. Or, at least a close relative!

Vinny

Not to be outdone....

"A contented cat"!!!

Vinny

I want to rub that belly!

And, she IS the ONE who has successfully retained her cute kitten face into cat-hood.

Hehehe she definitely doesn't miss any meals.

She eats 3 times a day, and gets a half-half combo of wet and dry food. We typically feed her the Authority brand.

But yeah haha we take her to the vet regularly. I forgot the exact number, but for the last few visits her weight has been "on the upper end" of what is reasonable according to the vet.

Lily is looking like a kitty sausage today.

What would happen if you just walked up to that pack

Could they possibly be thinking, "Here comes breakfast (or lunch)!"

Somebody doesn't look too happy this morning!!
