This is Sully, looks like he is cracking up laughing but he was actually just on the end of a yawn! I like the way his paw his lifted up, almost as if part of the laughing. This was taken in July 2007, using Nikon D70. This is not photoshop’d, apart from the logo being inserted. Basically is as it is!! As Sully is!!
Please contact me via my Bubblesite or Bubblemail
If anyone would like any text added to this image i.e.
Happy Birthday, Invite for a laugh, etc!

Thank you WayoftheWarrior! Very kind! Vicki :)
Paul Thompson ...
great capture, not easy, did you tell him a joke?
Vicki Ferrari replied
I wish! It was when I first got my DSLR and was so busy working it out (like WB? What was that salesman talking about with WB?! What’s that?! Ohhhh…. filters….. I was used to SLR’s) that I had the camera in my hand ALL the time and Sully yawned! Thanks for your kind comments! Vicki :)))
Tibby Steedly
This is a GREAT picture! I’m cracking up at Sully! Maybe it was a yawn and laugh at the same time!

Yes, he is a bit of a dag! Keeps me amused when he is keeping himself amused – except for when he eats the corners of the bentwood rocking chair… the one with DARK stain on that shows up teethmarks REALLY WELL!! Thanks for looking MDossat! VIcki :))) and Sully says thanks too! I couldn’t have done it without him!

So sweet!
MILAN :)
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Milan! He really is, except for when he’s not!! Sometimes I call him Termite.... when he chews the skirting boards and the back legs of the rocking chair…. not happy jan!!! :))
Wendy Slee
LOL….this is fabulous Vicki….
Your Sully is gorgeous and that’s one wicked laugh…..
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Wendy, he is a character! And, yes, he can be quite wicked, his other name is Termite, because he chews wood….rocking chairs, doorstops, shoes racks, skirting birds, ornament ears & noses! And then he moves onto photo paper, photo albums and I think you get the picture!! (Yes, I do feed him, and well!! :)))
Wendy Slee
in other words, he is part goat/part paper shredder/part termite/part feline lol….
Vicki Ferrari replied
LOL something like that! The rocking chair lacquer didn’t agree with him, and ultimately didn’t agree with me….. that came back up – always wear slippers or shoes around the house first thing in the morning!!
Vicki Ferrari replied
(his other nick name is Chukky Uppa, amongst many others that I won;t mention here! LOL)

Grant Middleditch
Hey Vicki, Cats are so interesting to photograph. So much personality and so hard to keep still. I had a close connection with mine and wished i had taken many more photo’s of them. Chuckles appears to be expressing his thoughts of being photographed.
Regards Grant.
Vicki Ferrari replied
Hey Grant! I sometimes think he wishes I would just go away (with the camera)!! He was young here, and I was still learning about digital SLR’s…. His name is Sully, short for Sullivan, after Monsters Inc, I think it is! He is adorable but I am biased! :)) It is sad when they pass on, my Yiddie was my first baby and I never thought I would ever get another cat, and I still miss him! And then someone gave me Sully…. he has been a godsend…. except for when he eats the furniture and the ears of ornaments!! LOL
Sorry, I wrote a novel! :)) (am good at that!)
Barbara Brown
Oh my!! That look is classic!! Looks like he just heard a really good joke!!
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Barbara! He is a bit of a dag!!! A real character! Vicki :))
adgray
WHAT A CRACK UP!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did you show him the coffee machine? lol
Awesome capture! lol :O)
Yawning yeah right you just don’t wanna admit that the cat even thinks you’re hilarious! lol
Chookas! X♥X
Vicki Ferrari replied
Got to have your camera attached to your hand at all times!!!! LOL!
Rhenastarr
Charming and you can’t help but smile. Adorable capture, well done!
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Rhena, glad to hear he made you smile! He still makes me smile!! :))
Sheila Simpson
With his paw raised, he looks as though he’s laughingly saying, “Oh come on, no, I can’t believe it.” I had to chuckle myself when I saw this! Great shot!
Vicki Ferrari replied
That is what it looks like, aye? Or he might be saying “what a crack up”!! Thanks Pathfinder!! :)) This still makes me smile!
Shanna S.

Vicki Ferrari replied

Ingz
wonderful capture of Sully! picture perfect…..not easy to catch Vicki, you have done a lovely job here xxxx
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Ingrid! I sat there with the camera beside me, watching tv and just waiting for a photo opportunity and da-dah! It happened! LOL! I was playing with shutter speed, and flash on manual… learning the digital camera, only knew normal SLR’s before that! At least it doesn’t cost anything to take digital photos!! (thank god!)
Ingz
you’re right Vicki, at least we can practise on digital cameras, if it wasn’t for digital i could not afford to take pictures as i take so many to just get the ‘one’ and so many times i don’t even get that!! i’m also using the manual now and experimenting, I have so much to learn but so little time and patiences though, but the love i have found in taking pictures makes it all worth while. xxx
Vicki Ferrari replied
Reading the book is SO important! And then playing with the camera! That is what I was doing when I shot this photo of Sully! The only problem is you end up with one million and 2 photos and dilemma as to which one to do something with! If you know what I mean?! :)))
Paola Svensson
Ha, ha… How cute!
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thank you so much Paola!! He is… but I am biased!!! :)))
