    I love a nice bit of saggy cat skin. Nice use of the negative white space on this one shygrl

    i think “normal” cats look strangely exotic.

    So beautiful. I love the little tufts of hair at the tips of her ears and those gorgeous folds of skin on her chest and those big green eyes… I could carry on for some time!

    Thanks everyone for you great comments. I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy on Maggie’s behalf. (which I suppose is probably the first time she has ever felt warm and fuzzy – being nude and all) I was expecting quite a few exclamations of anguish and horror. Most people who have never seen a Devon are a bit taken aback at first. That is until they get to know one. BEST personalities. Especially when they “ask ” you to please throw ‘Red Mouse’ (may he rest in peace – we suspect eaten accidentally – and repaced by Grey Mouse who is fun, but just not the same) for a game of fetch and retrieve.
    Kalb, they do look just like bats. Kind of a cross between a bat and a monkey :)

    I have a pic of my neighbour’s Rex (it has crinkly hair & wrinkles)....they are an aquired taste

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    Thanks Mel :)
    Ah yes Sharon, Maggies is desperately trying to grow a winter coat, so she has very crinkly hair around her hind legs and tail. It looks like I have permed her. Poor kid lol.

    Little Mag is gonna get a big head after this. Before I know it she will become the diva from hell and demand a trailer stocked with mountain stream water and blue m&m’s…

  • zee1

    zee1

    She will also demand that Bronson brings her Red Mice on demand because thats what Diva’s do, make slaves of others. Then she puts on that cute smile and all is forgiven:)

    If i am anything i am a cat lover, and I think i prove this when i say i am a fan of the Devon Rex; the most ugly and unattractive of cats if you had to chose one. They fascinate me with their wrinkly skin and velvety texture. This shot really captures the extreme characteristics of their person and appearance. What I mean to say is I really love this shot, and I love Devon Rex’s.

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    Haha, so true Emma, they are a bizarre looking animal, that’s for sure. It’s the “ugly” about them that makes them so appealing to me too. The funny thing is, once you have one, they become beautiful and all other cats instead look strangely fluffy with short ears, thick necks and roundy bodies :)

    It’s a wonderful portrait, she’s exquisite.

    Thanks so much Ivy. She’s really done me proud :)

    i am a confirmed dog lover, but this kitty has won my heart. such an intelligent looking feline! yet still she shows curiosity and coyness. lovely shot.

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    Thanks Shazz. You would love these cats… they fetch and retrieve, and wag their tails when they are happy – just like dogs.

    Whoooo Hooooo. Maggie has made it to the top 7 pages of all time in the gallery as of today. A star is born, a cuddly star.

  • shygrrrl

    I am so proud. I have become the stage mother from hell. Tomorrow she gets her hair and make-up done, and next week she starts deportment lessons.

    I’m going to comment, before Maggie eats my mouse…

  • JoLennox

    JoLennox

    Lol. Great photo! Maggies expression is so funny. I suspect she was off like a shot pretty soon after the taking of this? So hard to get that level intense inquisitiveness without them chasing the bait! Well captured.

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    Thanks Jo. She was actually posing all on her own, just happily showing off. One of those unbelievably lucky shots.

    LOL Chris. She WANTS that mouse.

  • AnaBanana

    AnaBanana

    ooohhh so so cute i love it!! poor thing looks cold LOL! it is a beautiful picture and a beautiful cat

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    LOL thanks Ana. She IS cold. She refuses to get out of bed in the mornings, preferring to ignore the Winter by staying well under the covers. Perhaps i will buy her a jumper? I’ll be sure to photograph the indignity though :)

  • PennyEdwardes

    PennyEdwardes

    I would have to say your kitty rocks!!! Awesome photo! Do you have her on your wall?

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    Thanks Penny, no not yet. I do have a card of her on the way though. I am very excited. She’ll be on proud display on my desk at work :)

  • Nicole Goggins

    Nicole Goggins

    I recieved my order of cards from redbubble and just wanted to let you know how fantastic this one looks – the quality of both the card and the image is brilliant! couldn’t be happier…

  • shygrrrl

    OMG you bought my Maggie!!! Thankyou SO much. You rock!!! I just told her and she is stoked. She is purring away. :)

    I love your Maggie!!! She is so adorable without getting too fluffy cute.

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    aw thanks. She is trying to get fluffy for winter… it’s not working out though :)

  • zee1

    Shygrrrl she is so high on the all time favourites list, highest kitty there. You should be so proud Mags is going to be famous.

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    I would be proud Zee, except with all this attention, she has become unbearable. She demands her own trailer now, and it has to be bigger than anyone elses, she only works every second day and only after 11am. All food must be catered especially and sent from Nobu in LA. She will wear nothing nut Prada, and even then, only if it is supplied free for the publicity. Her demands are becoming more ridiculous by the day…

    adorable pic!

    Thanks Rose. :)

  • Sarah Moore

    Sarah Moore

    she’s beautiful…but i like the chinese crested dogs so i may be a little warped!!! no really its a great photo!

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    No, those dogs rock! If i had to get a dog, that is the breed I would choose. There is something so immensely appealing about the funny looking, nudie animals… you kind of expect them to have warped sense of humour to match. If our Devons are anything to by… the theory works.

  • Anne van Alkemade

    Anne van Alkemade

    she looks adorable – cold, but adorable
    do you knit?

  • Anne van Alkemade

    Anne van Alkemade

    I keep looking at this photo again and again. It’s so cool.

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    Yay! Thanks so much Anne. I don’t knit. I wish I did though, because I have all these patterns for little jumpers for her…

  • trickyruby

    its cute looks like its cold, knit it a coat!! great shot

  • Ruben Flanagan aka (Flan)

    I love the photo, and the Devon Rex breed, I have a Sphinx that is 6mths

  • shygrrrl

    shygrrrl

    You have a shpinx??? I am SO jealous. I would have got one but couldn’t find a breeder anywhere near me. The Devons were the closest I could get.
