Thank you Mike, Bill, Michael, Jeff, merrytexan, Earnest, HillbillyHiker! Most of these images are the start or end of a roll for other purposes. When you're going to take (and potentially waste) one film frame, it's surprising how many shots are not taken as Gabby looks away from the brief moment I almost had her in perfect focus.

Cats typically sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day. They can spend up to a third of their waking hours grooming.

A house cat’s genome is 95.6% tiger, and they share many behaviors with their jungle ancestors. These behaviors include scent marking by scratching, prey play, prey stalking, pouncing, chinning, and urine marking.

When your cat drapes its tail over another cat, or you, or even your dog, it's a symbol of friendship.

Abraham Lincoln had four cats that lived in the White House.

Male cats are the most sensitive to catnip, while kittens under 3 months old have no response at all.

A group of kittens is called a kindle.

There are roughly 94 million household cats in the US, more than the roughly 90 million dogs. Both are less than the 139 million freshwater fish that swim in American homes.

Paul - great photographs of a cat that clearly loves you as much as you are attached to her. Wonderful facts as well.

But let's be honest - you post these Gabbygraphs to make all us cat lovers jealous. How many P.M.s have you received asking you for her. Pawhaps - she could be a business model. Ya know AirC&C feline rentals. Hmmmm...

All kidding aside she looks like the real deal sweetie. And we haven't heard her talk yet... (unless I missed that post).

Thank you for letting those who want, be a part of your family thru the Gabmeister.

Gabby is a lovely cat, and I especially see her sweetness in #4. My own cat Oliver not only grooms like a fiend, he does it to the point of pulling his hair out and making bald spots in his otherwise beautiful coat, little freak. He's on the kitty version of Prozac.

Thank you Moondoggie, Joe, John, Ernesto, waltnetto, Blair, SWFeral! Gabby has mostly settled in. She was never really afraid of the camera, but now it doesn't make her nervous at all. Initially, she was afraid of the 'other' cat on the computer monitor, but not anymore. She's hopped up onto the desk just a few times, but hasn't decided she wants to take ownership of this area.

Great cat portraits!
I love cats from small domestic to great wild ones. I would absolutely enjoy having a kitty in the house, but I don't like scratched furniture and shredded curtains. So, since declawing a cat is abhorrent to me I can only admire them from afar, or on pictures like yours. . . .

Great photos of a beautiful cat. Also, thanks for the behavior information. BTW, the little spot on the nose of this cat is wonderful.
