Here’s the third installment of readers’ cats. Readers who submitted photos: please be patient! Your cat will appear, but I have many.
First up is a pair of moggies from Southampton, UK, sent by Rich Edwards:
Here are our two cats, Mia and Arthur, for World Cat Day. (There are two other cat beds in the house but this one is best, apparently!)

From Reader Simon Hayward, a professor of Urologic Surgery at Vanderbilt University (he previously contributed a photo of his ten-legged cat Titan):
One of our cats, Titan, achieved fame on your site back in March (or so) by presenting his ten legged form. So this is the other cat – Pachacca – she is much less outdoorsy, the odd evening constitutional being about her limit. She has spent her whole life eating anything that comes within range. Hence she’s the small overweight cat while he’s the big normal weight one.
Finally, reader Keira contributes an artistic photo of her black cat:
Plushie: a portrait in darkness
the eyes say it all


I love that photo of Plushie.
A black cat in a coal mine at night is often used in photography texts as an example of when your camera’s light meter probably isn’t going to do you much good. Plushie’s portrait is a good example of the right way to make that kind of photograph.

Pachacca looks well contented!
I think my white cat has a touch of Pica…he sometimes eats plastic bags and toilet paper.
I have a garbage guts cat too, he is currently chewing on the remains of my breakfast toast!
Eek! Plushie looks like a grue!
Mate, you’ve the best blog!

Pachacca is so pretty. Van-pattern cats are very unusual in our local feline population, so to me they always look exotic and striking.
Awwwww @ Mia, Arthur, and Pachacca, and WOW at Plushie!
So cute how M & A manage to tuck themselves into that little bed. 🙂
