Saturday Silliness – Wild Eyed Crazy Cat
Time for some more Saturday Silliness. (: To see the previous silly posts/ images, please click here.

Today my British Shorthair kitty makes another appearance on my blog (shhh, don’t tell my Boxer dog 🙂 ). If you’d like to see other photos of my kitty (which have been some of the most popular images on my blog), you can click here, here, and here.
For this image, I had my camera in my hand and my cat was facing the sun, so I decided to snap some photos of his head. Luckily enough I caught this one with his tongue. It was the only photo I took that day, but it was enough.
Wild Eyed Crazy Cat…. (:

And I am so honored — the award-winning artist, Carolee Clark, does abstract paintings, and she has used several of my photos as inspiration for her art. Today, she is featuring a painting of this photo, and I am simply thrilled. I love my kitty and I think this painting is wonderful. You can see it here: “That Was Tasty.” And if you’re interested, she does sell these, so you can have it for yourself. My kitty would be proud. 🙂
Hope there is some silliness to your Saturday!

Yikes. This image scared my wireless mouse. Now I gotta replace it’s battery. 😉
Very fun.
Have a great silly weekend.
LOL! Mobius. That’s the funniest comment yet. 🙂 Thank you!
lol!
Thanks so much!
Being a cat person (with two of my own) I just love this photo. Don’t you feel fortunate when you are able to snap the camera just at the right moment?! Now on to see the painting…
Thanks! 🙂
awesomely silly !
Thank you so much!
Hilarious!
🙂
Awesome shot, like the painting but LOVE the photo. . . maybe because it reminds me so of my Leo, a shor haired Burmeese, but with those same extra special eyes.
Oh, Burmese are great too! 🙂 Love them. And thanks so much and also thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂
Good catch! I love the expression and the tongue.
Thanks, Bongo!
Katie! What a gorgeous shot you got here of your lovely crazy cat! I love it – AND I loved the painting too 🙂
Thanks, Truels! And I love reading your comment on the Carolee’s page. 🙂
Great shot, Katie. The detail in the eyes is wonderful and the color really stands out against the black. Having the sunlight on the face really creates a nice lighting for the shot.
Thanks! I really don’t take a photo of my cat, unless there’s sunlight on his face. Otherwise, it’s too dark. 🙂
I love it! Love it! Love it! 🙂
Thank, thank, thank you, Bob! 🙂
LOL what a great shot 🙂
Thanks, Eden!
Brilliant cat portrait. Nice, sharp eyes and some movement with the licking tongue!
My kitty was nice enough to need to lick at that moment. 🙂
Wow! That is a winner! I love this and is fantastic capture. I just keep staring at it and feel so in touch with that cat of yours. Magnificent work, Katie.
Peace
Wow, thank you so much, Suzanne! 🙂
Great photo! Clicked the shutter at just the right instant! I like the painting too. Fwiw, one of your photos inspired one of my paintings too, but it’s not done yet… I was saving mention of that for the blog post when and if I ever get it done. 🙂 You’ve already seen it in progress though…
Thanks, Zorgor. It’s my camera that can take fast multiple photos that got me this shot. 🙂 And what image are you using for mine? I don’t remember being told about it before. Thanks!
awesome catch!! I am definitely wowed!
Thanks, Tisha! 🙂
Great capture of your kitty’s tongue. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an animal’s tongue that close up before. LOL.
LOL! Thanks, Victoria! 🙂
Wow! This is an amazing photo!
Thank you, Bonnie! 🙂
lol lol lol
Llove this! 🙂
Wonderful! Thanks so much, Sophia! 🙂
Good capture. I love her eyes.
My Kitty appreciates it! 🙂
Look at those eyes! I love your cat, Katie. Excellent shot – a great cat moment. 🙂
Thanks, Jenna! You would love my kitty. 🙂
pretty and what a lick of the chops!
Thanks, Jane. 🙂
What an honor to have your photograph chosen by a painter. I was shocked one time when an artist friend wanted to use my photo for inspiration. It was an aerial shot of Japan with Fuji-san at the center. Couldn’t have asked for a better flight path. I hope you get many future requests.
Yes, it is an honor. I have had a good number of people wanting to paint my photos. I’m sure more have not asked though. They should ask first, and of course, I would be so honored. 🙂 So glad you had an artist wanting to paint one of your images also. 🙂
My God! I am not cat lover,but I like this!
Now that says so much about this image! Thank yous, Sonali! 🙂
ahhahh brilliant 😀 I have to say your cat is amazing, I remember those yellow eyes from your Halloween post 😀
Thanks, Kristina! 🙂 Glad you remember those eyes from the evil Halloween image. My cat is just so much fun to photograph. That face is amazing. 🙂

I agree taht animals make great photo subjects. Thanks so much for your comment and visiting my blog. 🙂
Love this kitty. I have two wonderful black cats.
Oh and I forgot to add, I know exactly how hard it is to get a good shot of a cat! I’ve yet to capture mine in a cooperative mood.
Hi thank you for sharing your work, it is very captivating. Thank you for the comment on my blog and looking forward to seeing more of your work in a couple of weeks, will continue to visit while your away. =)) Thank you for liking my gentle giants. =)) This cat photograph reminds me of my part Simense black cat who often looks like this, to capture it is fantastic! It is great to openly share you art work, thank you for doing so with all of us. =))
hehehe… Cats make some pretty funny expressions. You just have to know when to snap! Which you obviously do =) Thanks for sharing this one with me! I can’t believe how busy it’s been since break’s been over. But I’ve thought of you and am so glad I had the chance tonight to see all your new photographs!
