Today at the Heartland Humane Society in Corvallis, Oregon, USA
(6639blackcattabby&whitebookends)...
On Friday the 13th, 2006 I decided to add one of my responses to
comments down below and then send this picture to the "Pictures
with Stories Group (Pool)"
This is a story about some cats at the Heartland Humane Society in
Corvallis, Oregon, USA. It is about how I took this particular
picture, and in particular about the striking black cat with the tight
red collar. The black cat has spied that I have a camera strap on a
stick that they could all try to get. He is in sort of a kangaroo
position, sitting up very upright, with paws down by his sides, but
ready to bat at the toy. I think he is being a combination of
competitive (by rising taller and being older) and protectiveness
(also for the same reasons). The younger kittens are kind of taking
his lead.
As to the collar, it is tape, somehow sticking to itself on the ends,
but not sticking to the hair all around the cat's neck. Lately, it
does seem the collars are a bit tight, especially the red ones, but
they don't want them to slip off either, as that is their ID. I don't
work there, nor am I an official volunteer there; so I don't think it
my place to tell them how tight their collars should be. I am sort of
an unofficial volunteer there, doing lots of photographs and donating
blankets and towels when I can. Kind of like an unpaid and unofficial
ambassador, but I have no say in how they run it.
