now here's a cool video--quality isn't great, it's from
a security video--but a hero cat is for sure--Tara won the
Hero Dog award for 2015 for her courage. . .[Click to View YouTube Video]

'Harri Dun'
We've been up and down this lonely road,
For days now we have searched for her,
We once felt how she sat and graced us,
We knew back when,
Where she was at,
So soon before I wrote this ode,
This country road it's got no love,
For little girl cats,
Cats with names like little boy cats,
No cat gods looking down on her,
With mercy looking from above,
There our kitty roamed at night,
She stayed out late,
No love for home when hunting calls,
Our Harri Dun,
Our cat with 20/20 laser sight,
She's our cat and Harri Dun's her name,
Her hunting prowess legendary,
Her claws and teeth,
And coat of grey,
Most deadly once her claim to fame,
Her voice a silent purr was less whispery than her fur,
No sound like any other cat,
Her annoyance at our dallying,
So obvious and comical,
Instructed daily were we by her,
For four long days she has not come,
Four times longer for Pete's sakes,
It's longer than she's ever been,
I cannot bear the thought of it to miss her more than some.
My two dogs Luke and Emma shrugged,
They haven't seen her since that day,
Where she departed?
It's still not known,
My grieving heart like absinth drugged,
She bit those unaware that petting was prerequisite,
She always took begrudgingly the holding and the hugging,
Until she purred in warm vibration,
Our universe was for a moment timeless and was most exquisite,
We've been up and down this lonely road before,
Not knowing so much worse than knowing,
With family and departed friends,
And dogs and cats we've loved no less,
We never know how things might go,
When each of us walks through that door.

Bushman,
Having had one of my cats disappear without a trace I can feel your pain.

Bushman, I love your composition though not what it conveys. Maybe she wandered further than usual and will return.

Yes, it's been over two weeks now...
No trace of our girl, Harri Dun.
Checked the shelters and put out flyers and posters.
Still looking...
Really tough with my dog Emma sick now too.

Harley thought he had a great idea on how to ambush our hummingbirds.
After I started photographing him, he got a little bit "catish" about it and soon left the tree.

Lisa :-) On a sun dappled day, Daisy would blend in completely.
Wow Steve. It's not everyone who gets their cat photographed by BrassNuts, but I'm sorry for the loss.

Thanks, Darwin.
Lily was the best friend I ever had--a gorgeous chocolate
calico. She had more personality than some people I know.
And Lily is missed every single day.

Daphne:
With kittens as cute as yours, you don't need much to take wonderful photos, like those you posted.
However, if you have some dolls, teddy bears, or other props (backpacks, purses, bags, etc----- to pose the kittens with, that is great fun too.
Harley (the cat) was not cute as a kitten when we adopted him in 2012, but with the proper props, he looked pretty cute.
