Nine tenths is possession ask any Cat…it is the law…what a fantastic portrait of the cattitude attributes of feline possession…no subtle at all…”Margot my throne is mine and mine alone.”
mmargot replied
sigh Yes; I only pay the rent.
Arlene Zapata
wonderful story telling image Margot!
mmargot replied
Thank you, Arlene!
Selket is now a beautiful Dowager who loves jewelry and has no bad habits whatsoever…
David Robinson
Gorgeous image! Wonderful light, colour and narrative!! The wicker still looks good … piercing blue eyes and the claws are still working well!!
mmargot replied
Yes, the shredder and the victim are still going strong! And she can still give the evil eye.
Zolton
Great picture! I love it. Neat how the blue eyes are the only contrasting color. Cute kitten.
mmargot replied
Other than sizing, it is basically “as is”...eyes and all.
Thanks, Z !

next time Georgiana is around she is going to favourite this!
mmargot replied
Awww…rewarding a bad kitty…! Thank you!
Smudger

mmargot replied
Selket thinks so!

What a brooding kitty portrait, half-faced in shadow – I think what kitty wants, kitty gets! (judging by expression). The wicker looks well, hasn’t doubled as a cat-scratching post then?
mmargot replied
Busted! One arm is creatively hidden by a well-placed pillow… :-)

Beautiful use of dark space. Lovely tones of brown, with that one bit o’ blue.
mmargot replied
Thank you for coming by!
Glad you like it; I only recently got a scanner and only
recently found this to copy…serendipity.

the blue eye against the dark neutral (is is neutral?) space. stunning work!
mmargot replied
I will tell Selket you approve, Nikolay; yes, she is neutral!
And still wickedly charming. Thank you!

Paws n Claws is great!
I am glad I found this old photo, because Selket died from a rapid cancer growth shortly after I posted this. Lovely for her to be seen and remembered as we remember her.
Susanne Correa
oh, I am so sorry to hear that.

YaY! Sorry to be late in commenting and thanking you and Paws N Claws… had a bit of a family crisis and have not been online.
This would have pleased Selket no end!

You’ve let a kitten loose on wicker furniture!!! Great photo.
mmargot replied
Not the brightest move, eh? She was the only “shredder” in a long line of cats, but it’s their house, isn’t it?!
Thank you for knowing cats!

This is such a beautiful portrait. I am sorry that your lovely Selket has passed on but I am glad you have created what is now a memorable tribute to her.
mmargot replied
Oooh, thank you. You held her own during the era when very elongated neo-Siamese were the rage. Funny pic to me because she was the ultimate gentle empath. well, we do all have our moments...

Sorry to read that Selket died. Such a lovely kitty and photo, and cancer is such an ugly disease.
mmargot replied 26 days ago
Thank you, Jan. The fur ones are the souls of our homes and she loved and was much loved.
