Prowler

My youngest cat, Scrunch. Called that, because I rescued her more or less because I thought that her owner, would never find a home for her when she was born the runt of a large litter, with her head twisted completely backward and facing her tail. I agreed with her owner that she would keep her for an extra week past the time where the litter could leave their mother, because I was off to Thailand for a holiday. I checked in on her every day until I left for Thailand, and her little body struggled to even walk, as she would aimlessly walk around in circles due to her head facing the wrong way. I didn’t expect her to live very long, but was determined to give her a wonderful, if albeit a short life. On my return from Thailand I went straight to collect her and low and behold, her head had straightened while I was away. She is 11 now and still as happy as larry.

    That’s such a wonderful story Julie. You sound very much like me; I too would have adopted her in a heartbeat for the same reasons that you did. She certainly is beautiful (look at those eyes!), and this is a wonderful capture of her. You did a great job with the exposure as well. Nicely done! :)

    (PS my first few photos where I tried to adjust the exposure manually came out totally black as well, lol)

    Thanks Kimberly, she has been a little rat this week LOL. She goes a bit strange during the full moon, and cries to go out all the time, yet when I let her out she ccries to come back in within about two minutes, then repeats the whole let me out, let me in thing, for hours.
