Domesticated
"Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man" - Paul Gray
Affectionate Bear gives loving nudges and rubs to a roommate's handbag. Being a fully domesticated cat that has spent the most of his life in the second floor condominium apartment he hasn't fully out grown his kitten self and by the amount and type of attention that he receives it's not very likely that he will.
I was trying out a gift from my father, a Nikon DR6 Right Angle Finder to get the height perspective that the cat enjoys. My brain needs some time to adjust my movements to the fact that what I see is actually happening on a perpendicular plane and not straight in front of me.

I'm not a cat lover but I do love that photograph! It's probably one of the only times I've Awww'd a cat!
Thanks for your lovely words on my blog yesterday, much appreciated.

Hey Paul,

I love cats, any size, any shape, any look (well maybe not those hairless ones) and love the green eye... winking, yes.

I love your photos...especially the cat. I miss the stare of my feline friend who passed this past year. One of these days another one will come to live at my house.
