A seething cemetery cat?

Due to an allergy, and the fact that cats seem to sense this and sidle up just to set me off, I’m not the world’s biggest fan of felines — far from it in fact.

And somehow, these vindictive little beasts appear fully aware of these feelings too, although invariably the dislike on my part is doubled into what looks like loathing on theirs.

    It looks fierce.
    I bet it can smell fear :D…

    This cat reminds me of the big cat in “What’s Michael”
    (I forgot her name)…

    PS: I prefer dog to cat, but love them both. Too bad you are allergy to cat, Lee. Do you have allergy with dogs, too?

      Luckily no, just cats. But it’s bad one…

      Whoa! Good catch [GM]! I hadn’t thought of “What’s Michael” in years. The cat’s a dead-ringer.

    Dunno if I’d call that ‘seething’… It looks more like a West Side Story-like gang swagger, with a look that says “Don’t fuck with me, buddy”…
    Either way: great pic!

      Cheers.

      Yeah, I think there was a bit of exaggeration there. Mildly pissed off is perhaps more accurate.

    again you managed to capture the look of contempt, that cat looks like a cat who doesn’t want it’s picture taken and it knows you don’t like cats lol

      Yeah, I think so. I interrupted its sleep too, so its anger was probably warranted!

    An apparently well-feed seething cemetery cat.

      Yes, quite the chubby fella isn’t he? Probably due to all the people he has attacked and then devoured!

    “Don’t come near my place,” said the cat.
    Even it’s look fierce (also look like just wake up), it’s so cute!! :).
    Although allergy toward them, you still take a nice shot of this cat.
    Thank you for sharing this cute cat picture!

    I love cats and dogs but my apartment cannot keep Pets!

      Despite my dislike of them, I must admit, they are great to photograph.

      It was. Needless to say I was away as soon as I’d taken the photo!

    Of the last three pictures, the mannequin looks the happiest. The cat and the man in the rain almost have the exact same expression. Maybe they both need some catnip.

    It reminds me of Muta the big grumpy cat from “Whisper of the heart” and “the cat returns”.
    he even has the little spot of colour on his ear
