My Black Cat Turns Evil on Halloween

My kitty is the most docile cat in the world. He has the cutest Cheshire Cat Smile, but on Halloween, and this might have something to do with the witch sightings, he just doesn’t have patience for such things. (:

Not evil – gorgeous! The slow blending into the different shaded of black is remarkable.

OH. MY. I LOVE 🙂 I have a new favorite!!!!!! I too have a black cat, he is 16 years old, his name is Vader (lol) but I should have named him Salem!!

JuanitasPhotoBox said this on October 31, 2011 at 10:47 am | Reply
- LOL, Juanita! My kitty’s name is Grimm (Grimoire); i thought hard about naming him when I got him. 🙂 Vader is great name for a black kitty! Salem is great too. I may steal that for my next black kitty. 😉 Glad you liked the photo! 🙂

Great shot!!!!!! It is amazing that how well you captured the yellow eyes and the evil look. But I am sure your kitty is very sweet.
My neighbor has a black cat too. That cat is very friendly and always wants to be petted. There is definitely no bad luck for me. 🙂

COOL SHOT!! i like seeing pic where nice pets turn bad (just for the pic)

How did you shoot it?? From close range and the cat just stand still or from a bit distance?

Novroz said this on October 31, 2011 at 4:37 pm | Reply
- Hi there, Thanks for visiting my blog! 🙂 I shot this with a telephoto lens (300mm) so not close up. He’s kind of looking down at me, so I’m going to guess he was sitting on his perch above my fireplace. Sorry I can’t be more specific, but it was taken in January, amongst a whole bunch of shots I was taking of him at the time. 🙂
