Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Great capture Andrea looks like he enjoys the occasional stare-down

Looks as if he is in prison but if the road is so dangerous to animals it would be no bad thing for him to stay where he is, hope he doesn't use up his nine lives too quickly.Cute

It must have given your four the real hex, nice looking cat though.

Very intense gaze - great capture. One of our cats has a tendency to follow us when we go down our driveway to the road for a walk, which could be dangerous for him due to cars, so we try to put him in the house before we walk down...

Cats and dogs make for great entertainment together! LOL! My brother has two cats, and the female loves to taunt Mandy when we go over there. I know this look! :P

He a big looking cat and beautiful colours, we used to have a cat that went walks with us It must have been a funny sight with a big Springer crashing through the hedges and a cat walking along side.

A hex means a curse and I'm trying to see the connection. Otherwise, a superlative capture of the gruff, grumpy and definitely obese feline, Andrea, much too wide to fit between those bars. I suppose it could squeeze through if it tried. It looks pampered. I bet Ralphie wanted to make short work of it.

What a wonderful portrait of this fat furry fellow! Brave of him to confront your pack of beasts for as long as he did...

fat cat for sure. cool looking

Lovely portrait. He is alert but knows he is safe behind those bars. When I was in college my roommate and I had a little grey female tabby cat. Our backyard backed up to the neighbor's yard behind us separated by a wooden fence. One day we heard hysterical barking. Our kitchen window looked out over the neighbor's yard. And there was our neighbor's dog, desperately straining against the chain that held him. And sitting in front of this frantic dog, inches away from his face, was our little tabby calmly watching the show. I expect you had a similar experience. Sometimes cats can be such little bastards.

What a beautiful and well fed cat. Well done capturing him with four dogs in the string. !! You are good :)))

To me he looks a bit scared or at least apprehensive.

A fat cat indeed and I had to laugh as I imagined four dogs in one hand and Tizzy 3 in the other. :o)
three_grrr
Oh my, I am giggling. The vision of you with the dogs on leash in one hand and Tizzy in the other ... and the cat just sitting there ... You did get a wonderful shot of this gorgeous fat cat!
