Domestic cats are valued by humans for companionship and their ability to hunt rodents. About 60 cat breeds are recognized by various cat registries.

A predator that is most active at dawn and dusk, the cat is a solitary hunter but a social species.
Gabby portrait Failure to control breeding of pet cats by spaying and neutering, as well as abandonment of pets, has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, contributing to the extinction of entire bird, mammal, and reptile species, and evoking population control.
Gabby on film Gabby came from PAWS Chicago in January 2021. She's now about 4-years old and missing one of her paws. None of the paperwork was sure of where she came from or what has happened in her past. I selected her as part of the clear the older cats program.

I enjoyed Gabby's portraits. We have two cats to enjoy, they are spayed and neutered.

Nice shots Paul, and thanks for adopting this sweet girl - you now belong to her.
Paul, thanks for adopting this beautiful kitty! I’m sure she will remain your devoted companion for many years to come. Nice photos.

Great photos of that beautiful girl!! I have 18 and all are rescues. Recently, I adopted 2 from the local pound and one of them is a 7 year old male whose owner had to surrender him because the owner has stomach cancer. He is the sweetest boy.
Please give Gabby hugs and kisses from me and my crew!!

Thanks for sharing your love affair with Gabby, Paul!
Thank you Bill, Karin, Flyguy, Chris, NMGal, Goober, Dodie, Mike! I feel like I haven't been shooting in 2022. My schedule is about to change as well as a package of film is due to be sent off for developing. Glad you enjoyed these older images.
Gabby looks like good company
Wonderful set, Paul. Especially love the B&W.

CHG_CANON, nice Kitty. It seems that when I photograph my Missy, I get "Green Eye" more than I would like. You don't seem to have that problem. Any tips?
