Kandy Kit

This is OJ. Alas, no longer with us as he passed away very young. Here his eyes were just changeing color and I thought I’d try to get a pose out of him. Trouble was keeping him awake long enough to get a shot. Seconds after taking this, he slumped down into the jar, deep in little kitty dreamland. It wasn’t even easy getting him out !

    I like the way the background works w/his eye color. The candy coloz add great POP to this image. Sorry to hear he didn’t make it though.

    First Mr Hazelnut Praline Eyes now this little cutie… what are you trying to do to a girl Bill??

    I love how you have captured Oj’s inate kitten cheekiness and curiousness. I can almost here him saying “What?? You leave these brightly coloured goodies just lying around and expect me NOT to jump on in here?” A lovely way to remember this cute little man…

    Very cute shot! I love the colours, and yet the cat is so well placed that he still dominates the photo nonetheless.

  • billyboy

    Thanks guys, there’s some really nice comments here. To answer Santakaoss, yes he was ours and the amazing thing about OJ was that he carried his tail curled over his back like a husky dog. Never seen a cat have that before-and it was constantly like that, never went down. We believe in letting our cats go outside in spite of the obvious dangers-most of ours have always looked well after themselves, but unfortunately OJ was hit by a car after only a couple of years. We was found buy a neighbor who rushed him to the vet and although we were too late too say goodbye, the neighbor told us he survived long enough to hiss at a dog that came into the vet’s after him. We’ve had lots of cats over the years but OJ was by far the most awesome. I still miss the little guy!

    R.I.P OJ – I never knew or met you, but it breaks my heart that we may never know all the ways Bill would’ve been able to capture you had you been given a chance to grow up. Thanks for bringing a smile to our faces, if only for a moment

    How absolutely adorable. His eyes steal your heart! I am sad to hear he passed on. We had a cat given to my daughter for graduation that was one of the sweetest cats we’ve had, that we only had for a year, and was hit by a car. He took in the little gray stray cat we have now like a son. I will post a picture of him. Thank you for sharing this picture!

    Denise, I’ve often thought about that call. It would just pain us too much to keep them from their freedom to experience the outside world. Our cats have always been loved… I’ve never felt an ounce of guilt.

    The added touch of colors in the jar make this just “purr-fect”.

    Terri, some things in life make you feel blessed… though he was only with us a short time, I’ll never forget how he made me feel.

    Classic staging and imagery ! Sorry to hear that you lost your pet !

  • billyboy replied

    Cheers Reflector…
    And not only did we lose him, but he was ripped off by an “artist” on Deviant Art yesterday. No respect for the dead, yeah?!

  • billyboy replied

    And thanks for the fav!!!

    Lindsay Oram

    hey there. Someone has stolen your photo and posted it on deviant art as their own. here is the link

  • billyboy replied

    Hey Lindsay!
    Thanks for that. In fact I got a tip-off yesterday and in addition to reporting this to dA, I posted about it on RB and it`s caused quite noise as lots of other RB artists wre ripped off by the same guy.
    Again, thanks for being vigilant!!

    As you know, this is one of my Fav images of OJ….......so how cool that he’s won the Challenge in ‘For the Love of Cats’..........seems so appropriate to me as there really couldn’t have been much else to over ride that beautiful little soul. With that adorable little face and those beautiful baby blues, this divine image was always gonna hit the # 1 spot…...
    I also know just how much you loved him so that makes this even more special.
    SO awesome, makes me wanna purrrrr
    Hugs
    xoxox

  • billyboy replied

    Tracey, I so love it when you purrrrr…
    And I also love it when you spit coffee through your nose…
    So if this picture brings on both those events, it`s even that much more special to me!!
    Hugs and xoxox right back atcha!!!
