Tia take 3
1/2 face challenge
My very old long hair feline “Tia” patiently watching yet another snow storm thru our mutual window. Although she is well over 15 yrs old she still has the inquisitiveness of a young cat. She is still fairly playful & active with a love for slow running water from any faucet or bucket & running up trees no matter thier size. Her whiskers are amazingly long and thick. I think she was wishing for spring time to hurry up & arrive. Like me.. I like this portrait of her in the larger view for a closer look at her. She is ultra feminine and a very pretty cat. Thanks for giving a look here

Great shot, bit of a sore point in our house. Our family cat is mercyless. I have been desperately trying to attract birds to my garden, but she hunts them down and to add insult to injury wont sit still for long enough to take a picture of her. Never-the-less great image
LjMaxx replied
Hi Mike. Tia watches them but never goes after anything but frogs even thse she just gently paws.. then runs off. I am glad you took a look here and commented.. T.Y.. :)
