This is the second of two shots that I humbly submit as my “Meeko series”.
These shots were taken with my Kodak Easyshare ZD710 digital camera and are totally “AS IS”.
I have not even made any adjustments for lighting.

Meeko is my parents Presian/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.

    There had to have been something under that part of the deck that only he could sense. Two of the days that I baby-sat them Meeko would go to this part of the deck and either set here, or peer through the cracks of the deck. I wasn’t too excited to know what might be under there but figured it was either a mouse, or a snake which of course are quite common in the country. LOL!

  • frozenfa

    frozenfa

    i was wondering what’s he staring at too.. it’s like he’s going to swat the flower… hehehe.. then i saw your comment.. there’s snakes in the neighbourhood? won’t that be dangerous for you and Meeko and all? does Meeko catch rats? XD

  • Terri Chandler replied

    Hey sweetie! Thank you so much for your reply. I’m sorry I haven’t been on top of my thank you’s. ;o( My parents live in the country and yes there are a few “garden type” snakes around. While their bite may be a little nasty they aren’t poisonous. Cats are pretty wise about snakes and will usually avoid them once they figure out what they have before them. Meeko doesn’t catch mice. With the exception of occasional “supervised” walks in the yard he’s totally an inside cat. ;o) xo

    ah a big cat is great to hold, wish I could hold him, he’s gorgeous, a great image – well done!

  • Terri Chandler replied

    Thank you for stopping by Teresa. xo I wish he WAS more of a snuggle bug. He doesn’t mind being petted, and he’ll curl up beside you on the bed, but he puts his paw down at being snuggled too much! LOL! ;o)

    A very beautiful image – it has everything. Well composed. It´s so beautiful with the pink roses and the wooden texture together and this good looking cat. I love this picture.

  • Terri Chandler replied

    Thank you so much Paola. All these wonderful compliments has made me wonder if I shouldn’t have purchased this print for my mother instead of the “Among the Leaves”. ;o) At least you all really have me wishing I could see it as a framed print. Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments.

  • billyboy

    billyboy

    Gorgeous how you managed to catch his eyes glowing with the natural lighting, and a beautiful composition with the roses.
    What a stunning take of an amazing feline!

  • Terri Chandler replied

    Thank you so much for stopping by my gallery and leaving such a nice compliment. I was lucky to have the morning light behind me when Meeko and I were out for our walk this day. The rest of the credit goes to this fantastic feline who is so good around the camera and just turns on the charm. ;o)

    this cat is tottaly awsome, what kind of cat is he,
    wow
    and the shot near the roses is awsome

  • Terri Chandler replied

    It is so kind of you to stop by and leave such nice compliements on the shots of my mother’s cat, Meeko. As far as we’ve been told he is a mix of the Persian, Himalayan breed. My parents adopted him from previous owners who were basically just tired of having a cat around. Bad for them, but so good for us! My whole family adores him! ;o)

    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
