Burning Bright
Here is Jackie, my cat who loves to pose for the camera. I have a few other photos of him in my profile.
Jackie was recently very sick. He was diagnosed with chronic renal failure and hospitalized for a week. The prognosis when he left the hospital was not very good. He’s home now, getting subcutaneous fluids every day, antibiotics for a kidney infection and a special low-protein diet that is definitely not appetizing.
Despite all of that, Jackie is getting better every day. He is getting his energy and personality back and slowly gaining weight. Recently he has rediscovered how much he likes to ham it up for the camera.

I love that thick deep fur on this kitty…but it looks like it might want a wee snack
Pardus replied
His fur is very dense! When he was in the hospital, they did an ultrasound of his kidneys and shaved the fur from his belly and his chest. He looks so odd with bald patches. Hopefully it will grow back soon!

Terrific kitty-capture here! I have a whole GANG of cats, most of whom despise the camera and just REFUSE to do something cute if they see me coming… more like, “There’s that camera. STOP doing cute, right now!” LOL ! GREAT timing, and a wonderful expression – glad Jackie is recovering. Congratulations on the Features!

Thank-you so much! I have 3 cats and they all have their own personalities. Jackie is the only one who is in love with the camera.
