Black Cat Pumpkin
Hard to get a photo of a black cat, so I was happy he happened to be sitting by one of the giant pumpkins I have out for seasonal decoration. He's waiting by the front door in case cobalt here decides to quite snapping photos and get to what is IMPORTANT, like his breakfast. The next image shows his buddy Hurry, also waiting for breakfast.

Yummy pumpkin. Please do post this to the Somebody else's seasonal cat group, we could do with some orange squash.

Oh, that sounds like a fun theme thread in that group, Dr. Loplop. I belong to the group, but I know that you can't post your own cat's photo there, ha ha! But if you would like to post a version of this image there in the thread, please do go for it.
Thanks all for your kind comments.

Oh, what a shame! The best cats are always people's own ones. Still, rules are rules... *sigh*

I am laughing at my flickr photo stream reality. Here I post 2 images that are "arty" and get few looks, but then I post my cat online and voila, lots of visitors, ha ha! Glad to see others like this image.

The same thing happens to me, Cobalt! Flickrfolk sure do love cats.
This is a marvelous shot for October!

Dontcha know it's because cats threaten people if they DON'T comment? Danged cats and their quest for world domination!! ;-)
Love the color contrast between puddy and pumpkin!

Holy smokes, I posted this Wednesday and go away for a while and come back to find scads of visits. Thank you all for your visits and comments. It's really far from a perfect shot, ha ha, for cobalt here still needs to learn alot about manual settings on her camera.

Beautiful. Reminds me of my Kitters - she too was a black cat. Had her to love for 13 years. Still miss her at times, even though she's been gone for many years.
pocotheeskimo (68 months ago | reply)
what was the camera & film (if non-digital) used for this shot?
btw, it's featured on the yahoo homepage
cobalt123 (68 months ago | reply)
Oh good heavens! I don't know where it is, as I looked all over yahoo for it, but that explains the huge jump in views, eh? Well, to all who come by to see this one
Happy Halloween!
The Grand Duchess (68 months ago | reply)
Yup! www.yahoo.com and there it is!! ;-)
....course when I click on the link it disappears! Spoooooky!!

The Grand Duchess (68 months ago | reply)
Yahoo must rotate topics....if you come back and keep clicking on the main page it will come round to your photo again;-)

Looks like our late, great Tilly. Thanks

Everyone is right Cobalt, this is a GREAT shot. My son has a black cat named Midnight (appropriate, ay?) and this gives me a great idea; I'll get a shot of her tonight in front of the punkin and get it on here for tomorrow. Better late than never I always say.
I absolutely ADORE black cats.

Congrats for making it to Yahoo's front page! This is such an adorable capture. The classic black cat and pumpkin! I love it!!!
mischievous_pussycat (68 months ago | reply)
I love your picture. I too have two lovely black cats.
Happy Halloween! :)
cobalt123 (68 months ago | reply)
Thank you all for commenting and for helping figure out why I could not see the photos when I looked on yahoo. Funny thing is that my family could not see the photos on yahoo either, so I finally keep going to it and voila, there it was, finally. Grabbed a screenshot and emailed that to my folks and oldest son. This is truly a fluke to receive so many views. But I am glad that my cat Prince has had his day in the sun. Usually it is my striped tiger cat Hurry that obliges for fun photos. Oh, and fame has not gotten to Prince's head. Just feed him, talk to him, and let him hang about with you and he's a happy guy.
The Grand Duchess (68 months ago | reply)
OMG...I just saw how many views this photo got!!!
Amazing!
