Thank you so much!
1 Sale Framed Print, 2008

This is one of two shots that I humbly submit as my “Meeko series”.
These shots were taken with my Kodak digital camera and are totally “AS IS”.
I have not even made any adjustments for lighting.

Meeko is my parents Persian/Himmy mix, whom they adopted several years ago. Meeko is a very large boy and weighs between 21 and 22 pounds as of his check-up this year.
He isn’t a young man anymore either; having reached the wonderfully healthy age of 11 years.

    persian and himalayan mixed?! wow!!! no wonder he’s soo gorgeous!! look at his mane.. he’s soooo fluffy!!! does he like tummy rubs? ^ _ ^“

  • Terri Chandler replied

    Oh dear friend, you should see him today. He went for his “spring cut” and grooming this week and I’m in tears. he always gets a “Lion Cut” but this groomer didn’t do it right and he looks “terrible”.
    I took some pictures of him and will share the horror later. He’s still my special boy, but no more “glamour shots” till the hair grows out some now. sigh

    Very cute shot of Meeko. You should enter him in the Sitting Pretty Challenge that Cats and Dogs is having. Lynn

  • Terri Chandler replied

    Thanks so much dear friend! I’m sorry I’m just now seeing your compliment. Please forgive me. xo

    What a STUNNINLY FLOOOOOOOFY kitty.
    and a gorgeous shot.
    I missed so many of you images!!!
    And they didn’t turn up on my feeds…. :(

  • Terri Chandler replied

    I’ve had that problem as well Robin. ;o( Today is catch up day for me it looks like. I didn’t know I had so many comments on some of these photos. Please don’t feel like you have to comment on ones you’ve missed dear friend. xo I’m just glad to see you back! ;o)

    Meeko is totally gorgeous. What a beautiful color, too. Before you know it he will be grown out and gorgeous/handsome all over again. Gosh, Lola is only just over 6 lbs. so I can’t really imagine a 21 lb. kitty. I bet she would be charmed by him.

  • Terri Chandler replied

    Thank you so much Gloria! xo I know what you mean about Lola!
    We have a couple cats that break 20 pounds, they are big cats, but I have to admit that they are “fat” (we like to say “under-tall” LOL!)
    which results in a lot of their weight.
    Meeko really isn’t over-weight. He’s just a very large bodied domestic cat.

  • nishagandhi

    he looks so angry:)

  • Terri Chandler replied

    LOL! No, not really anger! That’s “pride” written all over his face. ;o)
    Meeko is very proud of himself, and demands that he get only the best of everything and what he wants! ;o)

    ISMAIL ALAOUI ...

    thats it,
    i wanna kiss that cat
    he looks so clean;

  • Terri Chandler replied

    ...He would probably give you that look if you did try to kiss him (LOL!) but we do it anyway and I think he secretly appreciates the snuggles. He’s just too much of a “tough guy” to be able to let his soft side show! ;o)
    Thank you for the compliment! My mother takes great care of both him and her other cat Rocky. They are certainly greatly loved and cared for!

    UPDATE November, 2009
    For those of you who have followed my Meeko series and left such wonderful comments I thought I’d let you all know that our precious boy has been diagnosed with Feline Diabetes. In part, it’s his age beginning to take it’s toll on his beautiful body. He is on insulin injections twice a day, and special diabetic food for cats, and at his check up this week his insulin levels were good; although the vet has detected some kidney damage.
    I have had a most recent photoshoot with him, and noticed that his energy level and “purr-sonality” is back to the wonderful Meeko that I know. We had a great photoshoot and I hope to share those new shots with you soon!
    Thanks to all again!
    ~Terri xo

    So sorry to hear that Meeko has been ill, but good to know he is responding well to his medications. I’m sure your parents are doing everything they can for him and hopefully he will continue to be his same wonderful self. I know how painful this is to his humans. Will be looking forward to the new photos. Hugs to Meeko. Gloria and Lola
