Photo of the Day: The Melville Cat Returns

by | Dec 7, 2011 | Johannesburg, The Melville/Brixton Cats | 12 comments

I was away from the Lucky 5 Star for most of November. I think the Melville Cat was annoyed by my absence. He hardly gave me the time of day for the first week I was back.

This week he has forgiven me and returned to his usual twice-daily visits.

Smokey-Squeak, the Melville Cat.

Smokey-Squeak interrupted my attempt to photograph a snail in my parsley pot this morning. I didn’t get a single decent shot of the snail, even though I took 100. I shot one frame of the cat and came away with a winner.

Welcome back, my squeaky, furry friend. I missed you.
