Saffy in the Box

My British blue shorthair cat called Sapphire Blue or Saffy, for short. She just loves getting into boxes, sleeping on top of boxes etc. She is great company even when she is sleeping.

    Saffy is a beauty …..great shot !!! Bravo Elena !

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Many thanks indeed.

    A British Blue! yay! Mu mum has two British short hairs, a blue like yours named Frizbee and a white teal point named Boomerang (yes, my mother often names animals in strange ways!) Our blue is also a bit stand offish and un-friendly with new people, and spends more time asleep than any cat (possibly except Boomer) I’ve known! Boomer, our teal point on the other hand, is the complete oppostie of Frizbee, and at times it seems not as bright!

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Allen, how very funny indeed. I think that one of their personality traits is being very loyal to only one person. Thanks again.

    Beautiful image of a very beautiful puss, love the look of concentration on the face.

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Indeed, she does look like she is concentrating. Cheers very much.

  • Peter Hill

    Peter Hill

    Seriously cool expression. Looks like she is actually sitting for you.

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Peter, sitting for me for 1 second more like it. She moves whenever I have a camera in front of my face, like all cats. Many thanks for stopping by.

    keep up the portraits. you is talent.

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Many thanks for such a fine compliment. I will indeed. Cheers very much.

  • Glenn Tuazon

    oh saffy!.. an oldie but a goodie.. I see many like it here in this place as well. Strong lines and a well built head it has. Well, that is one way to contain the cat without it running away.

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Glenn, it is indeed. She loves boxes though. To sit on, sit in etc. Hope all is well with you. Sent you a bubblemail the other day. Did you get it? Cheers for stopping by.

    Ha ha, your Cat looks to be in a bad mood to me, what a face! :-)

  • Elana Bailey replied

    David, that’s one of her expressions. She isn’t a fan of having her photo taken, which is a pity, as she is such a beautiful subject. Many thanks indeed.

    I love how british blues look so serious all the time. They are so cuddly and hard to read. I love em.

    Great shot.

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Andrew, you have summed up Saffy. Do you have a BB? Many thanks.

  • ein22

    ein22

    No I wish I did. I plan on having a whole collection of different animals. An Irish Wolfhound, a Blue Cat, Turtles, Birds, Lizards, Guniea Pigs, Ducks, Geese, Cows… I suppose I will be needing a farm for all of this. Not that much room in Trott park where I am from. LOL.

  • Elana Bailey replied

    A farm will be needed. Sounded like you really love animals. Cheers.

  • Victoria Rusnac
  • Elana Bailey replied

    Many thanks indeed.

  • ein22

    ein22

    Yeah I do, great and small. I think I will need a farm too, unless I want to see myself on Today Tonight for animal cruelty.

    I like animals and plants, lots of them. I need to be able to be among a thick set of trees.

    Awwwwwwwwwwwww I dont think my British Blue (“Winston”) is anywhere near as cute – but he is 16 now :) – i’ll try and take an old cat image to post on here one day :)
    I had a british white too – but he looked more like a bulldog hehe!
    Lovely cats, and lovely image :)

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Greg, do you have any shots of Winston on red bubble? 16 years old is wonderful. Saffy will be 10 yrs old in a few weeks. Can you have British Whites? Many thanks indeed and also for adding this one to your favs. Cheers Elana.

  • Greg Roberts

    Greg Roberts

    Good point – i’ll ask my bro what type of cat he was but definitley wasnt a russian one!
    None on Redbubble yet – will try and get a good one this week :) – he’s still plodding along if a bit senile at times :) – love british blue’s! They have so much personality – winston was always a terror when he was younger! hehe

  • whisperjo

    Good to see him again Elana! He is soo beautiful! Great image!

    Wonderful photograph of a beautiful Saffy! Unusual lighting here Elana! Well done!

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Many thanks so very much, Vicki. I used a flashgun. Cheers Elana.

  • Vicki Ferrari

    Vicki Ferrari

    You’re lucky he kept his eyes open then! Whenever I get my camera, when it is obvious I am going to use the flash, Sully squints and looks away! Maybe I should fool him with the Sunpak flash gun – but I think he would clue on fairly quickly! :))

  • Elana Bailey replied

    Vicki, this was a one off. She was cornered in the box. Otherwise, she just walks away and doesn’t keep still. Cheers Elana.
