    One Step from the Jungle

    I Heard a Rustling

    I was minding my own business, busily dusting the house, when I heard a rustling.  A weird sound was coming from the houseplants sitting on top of antique trunk.  There was a rustle, rustle.  A few leaves were bouncing up and down.  I walked over and found the not-at-all camouflaged cat.

    It looks like she's hiding, doesn't it.  I think she thinks I can't see her.

    Oh Hi!

    The clicking of the camera shutter causes her to peak out.  I still think she thinks she's hidden.  She gets this look on her face when she's half under a blanket, or halfway hidden behind something.  It's a kind of serious, "you can't see me" look.

    One Step from the Jungle

    I think she is reliving the wild jungle days of her ancestors.  Luckily she just hides and plays in the houseplants, she doesn't bother them at all.  No eating or chewing and no using them for a littler box like Coco kitty!

    For my artsy photo, I used Topaz Labs plugin.

      You're such a good looking kitty and it's good to have a place to hide.

      We adore your compositions this week, so moody and evocative of a hunting feline. The dark colours really do shine with a feline camouflaged (or not to the human eye at least) in their midst.

      MOL Luxie hides like Chimera does, she always acts so surprised when Mom takes her picture, she really does believe Mom can't see her

      I like that..."wild jungle days of her ancestors." These moments remind us where they came from. She's adorable. It's so great she doesn't mess with the plants. I could never get a cat that wouldn't so no houseplants for me.

      those are GORGEOUS photos!!!!! You should get the cat tree that I have from Pet Tree Houses.....it is made from real wood and the leaves look real (they can be chewed but do not come apart. ) Cody loves it and he feels like he is in a jungle!

      She has such a sweet expression as much as to say,"If I sit still, no-one will know I am here." I love the artsy effect.

      Oh my goodness! So cute. My cats do the same thing. They try to hide under the covers or the curtains but their bums or tails are sticking out and they really think we can't see them! Ha! Cats.
