Thomas likes to hide amongst the shadows and blend in with the porch railing for optimal hunting at the bird bath in the flower bed. We're pretty sure most of the birds know he's there and torment him on purpose, as his attempt-to-catch ratio isn't too high. He's not deterred though, and spends quite some time hunkered down in the sun half snoozing, half watching.
That Thomas is too cute!
ReplyDeleteHe looks to me like he's retired...ha!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I was just thinking the same thing as Sweet Repose! Thomas does indeed look like he's retired!! Terrific shadow shot of the gentleman! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and here's wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year! Enjoy!

Beautiful shot! My cat loves to sit in the sunshine too and the birds aren't afraid of him either. The birds do flee from me even though I feed them.
ReplyDeleteThe kitty looks winsome as it enjoys the sun. The pupils closed and the eyelids offer protection. Not blinded by the light but luxuriating in the heat, the cat ear is apparent on the shadow. What a fine looking feline!
ReplyDeleteaw, what a great photo. Thomas looks like he's ready for a nap- what a cute cat!
ReplyDeleteThere is a cat and shadow too. Thanks for visiting at my site Kuusela. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSweet kitty and a nice shot!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a lot in common with cats, but agree with Repose and Sylvia. I'd say he's retired - like me!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Cute Thomas! Try as he does to blend in, he kind of is fairly obvious. Funny that the birds torment him. I'm sure he secretly enjoys the attention :)
ReplyDeleteCats are masters of the half snooze. I like the ss!
ReplyDeletevery funny...i have a kitty like that as well...she thinks in sitting out in the open...she won't be noticed. cool shadow shot!!
ReplyDeletehappy new year!!!
He is really cute! Nice shadows :)
ReplyDeleteI think much of the fun is often found in the trying...so I can relate to Thomas:D Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteThomas is a handsome fellow. And I think he knows it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNeat shadows you've captured.
I think Ms. Kitty there is getting curious about those shadows.
ReplyDeleteMy Season's Shadows. May you have a prosperous new year!
Nice pattern of sunlight and shadow, and an adorably sleepy-looking cat.
ReplyDeleteMethinks Thomas is too well fed to bother chasing mere birds. I don't think I've seen a more contented cat!
ReplyDeleteGuess kitty feels cold too. I need your sunshine...
ReplyDeleteCool shot!
Happy SSS---
