Very interesting how the white fur streaks into the black. Never seen that before.
He is a weird "Tuxedo" cat- Also- he won't eat "people" food and is very fussy about HIS brand of cat food! He shot hair on his back and kinda long hair on his chest (???)

Since our cat owns our humble abode and we are mere servants, I deced to make his "executive portrait".
You had better pay close attention. That is a very serious look!

My wife and I love all animals. We had a dog for 14 years and 2 cats athe same time. One car was with us for 24 years and the otere for 18.
Our choice of pet this time around was a cat. We are older now, empty nest, and still running out of photography business, full time! Dog walkings inall kinds of weather, several a day, and somets in the middle of the night is not on the agenda. cats, of course, are more independent.
Not that our car does not require (demand) love, affection, his meals on time, and some interactive playtime. He does, however, look after his toilet (as they say in the UK), groom himself fastidiously and is content to observe any and all goings-on from many elevated locations in the house. After all, he IS the boss and master and has a maid, butler and playmates at his disposal.
We miss our big dog to this day. He was 90 lb. Ogar Polski (a Polish hinting dog) is a breed well-known in Europe- here is the pedigree: The Polish Hound, commonly known as Ogar Polski, is a breed of hunting dog indigenous to Poland. The Polish Hound has a keen sense of smell. This heightened sense combined with the endurance needed to hunt in harsh environments led to its use in hunting, while its stature made it popular with Polish nobility.
Some folks imported these dogs to raise them for hunters. The problem with old Chuck was he was gun shy and would freak out athe sound of a discharging firearm. So, the poor guy wound up at the S.P.C.A. I rescued him with a $100. donation and he was with us for 14 years. He was a bundle of fun and love and a great protector. We just avoided backfiring cars and firearms. is portrait still hand in our living room 30x40 in a very impressive frame. See attached image
