Because my cat is gorgeous

[katiefoolery]

Because Pickle is gorgeous.  Because I almost forgot I have a camera.  Because she posed in a perfect patch of sunlight.  Because of that, I bring you picspam of the cat kind.

Sometimes, Pickle just has to escape from the never-ending demands of the camera...

Click on the photos for larger images.

Oh, it’s just so tiring being gorgeous.  Do you know how long it takes to find the perfect angle to hold your head?  Or the perfect slant of sunshine?  It takes a lot of work to look this good all the time.

And sometimes you have to move your entire leg.  Your entire leg.  That takes a lot of effort and no-one ever really appreciates it.

This is my favourite shot of them all.  It’s Pickle’s favourite pose (I swear she was a model in a past life) and I thought it would look perfect in black and white.  I’m so happy with how I did the black and white effect - I think it came up so well!  Oh look, I forgot to try and be modest!  (Please click on this one for the larger image - it looks much, much better full-size.)

Aww Pickle!

*admires from afar*

She does look very pleased with herself doesn't she?

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Oh yes indeed. She knows she's gorgeous and she knows it everywhere.

That cat is the most photogenic in the universe.

And the black and white one is lovely Katie. Did you do the black and white in photoshop or on the camera?

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

She is, isn't she? And she knows it.

Thank-you - I'm so proud of my black and white one! :D I created the black and white effect in PSP by playing around with contrast and blend modes.

I wantssssssss her, precioussssss...

*steals Pickle*

*whistles innocently*

Hey!

Just be careful - she likes to show her affection by biting you. And with claws. Apparently, claws say love to Pickle.

[bethamphetam1ne.livejournal.com]

Claws say love to Basil as well.

They also say "Stop moving around" and "No thanks, I'm quite comfortable on your lap and have no intention of relocating no matter how much you wiggle."

I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering there. :D It's a rare day when I don't have any cat-related scratches on my hands...

[rilla06.livejournal.com]

*returns Pickle gingerly*

Zoe would probably attempt to eat her, anyway :P
(and end up with a ton of scratches for her troubles)

Fluffy!

You have a very gorgeous cat.

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

I do indeed. :D

By the Suspicious Spatula! Pickle is outrageously cute and that last pic is wonderful. She looks so smug.

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

She is, isn't she? And she's not at all modest about it, as you can tell by the smugness.

Lovely pictures and a wonderful looking cat! :D I think every cat seems to have that "I know I'm beautiful" look :P

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Thank-you muchly. :) And you are quite right - all cats do seem to have that innate knowledge of their own beauty. Well, all cats except the Bindi's, which just seems to have an innate knowledge of how stupid it is.

nwyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Pickle is just too cute. I'm sorry, but my fav is the top one where she's hiding away.

Man that cat's gotta have an inflated ego

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Oh, she has a HUGE ego. Very well aware of just how gorgeous she is. She uses it to get stuff.

I don't like the light in the top pic. Stupid flash. But it was the first time I'd had a chance to capture that hiding-behind-the-paw thing that she does. Usually she stops doing it the minute the camera comes out.

[beckyo.livejournal.com]

She's beautiful! And the pics are gorgeous. I love long hair kitties. I have one, too. :)

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Thank-you! :) She has the softest fur, too. It's just a pity it ends up everywhere...

[pitkat.livejournal.com]

Kitty!!!!

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

It is!!!

[meretia]

What a pretty girl! I've never seen that dark of grey with that light fawn on a calico before.

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

She is gorgeous, isn't she? And she does love the camera (even when she's hiding from it...). The rest of her is much more orange - it's only her nose that has the light-coloured patch on it - more picspam (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/40/87245882_5f33ab6b3c_o.jpg).

[murfgirl.livejournal.com]

I want to pet her!

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

She is quite irresistable. :D

[silverwerecat.livejournal.com]

Pickle is gorgeous - but I think you already knew that. ;)

And those photos are awesome.

Kiss her from me.

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Thank-you. :) And I most certainly will.
