2/10/2006: Rescued cat is pissed - Page 2

Very lucky cat indeed. When our house burned down in 2003 we lost both of our cats. There was a full ambulance crew trying to save them, but the the smoke produced during a house fire is too incredibly toxic, and being little kitties - it was too much for them.

I can see it now...

maybe I should log in as squirell nutkin,

I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but that image reeks of p'shop. I could be wrong, like I was about the turkey nailed to a tree, but something smells fishy to me.

particularly because all of the above comments are so right on re: cats.

Any how.

the eyes and mouth of the cat are exceptionally sharp and crisp, unlike any other area of the image. maybe just tweaked and not made of whole pixel/cloth. [/benefit of the doubt]

I think foot is perhaps right. 1) the guy isn't holding tightly enough to stop an enraged cat from bolting 2) the cat's body is relaxed looking - the legs draped over and against the man's body, not clawing into it to get purchase to run away 3) I think I've seen that cat face somewhere before...

But no matter how it came to be, it is a wonderfully composed picture.

footfootfoot · 02-16-2006, 08:11 PM

here is a rescued cat. That's what I'm talking about...

wolf · 02-16-2006, 10:27 PM

That moves from good picture to great one because of the kitten anxiously watching to see if mom will be able to serve dinner.

seakdivers · 02-16-2006, 11:12 PM

Oh my god that momma cat looks just like one of our kitties that died in the fire.

Echk... that just makes me want to cry - I imagine he looked the same way when they were trying to save him.

calling to mind the scene from Tampopo
where the father rushes home and exhorts his wife on her deathbed to get up and cook dinner...

You must see it.

I saw the noodle western many years ago (probably '86 or '87).

I had a craving for noodles that just wouldn't go away, and we had no noodle shops in the neighborhood at that time. Cup O' Noodles just doesn't satisfy the craving.

I love the scene where the old man is explaining about picking up the slice of pork and pausing before saying (to the pork) "see you soon"

I get hungry just thinking about that movie.
