An orange tabby sleeps on a box in a Chinese grocery. Despite the tag, this photo was not taken in a bodega, but I'm not aware of tag for "Chinese grocery cat."

Kitten Woven in Green Light

#Photography #VisualPoetry #PhotoOfTheDay #Kitten #CatOfTheDay #Caturday #FelisCatus #EmeraldGaze #MacroPhotography #AnimalPortrait #Calico #PetPhotography #PoeticLight #OutdoorCat #FelineFriends #TheLittleHunter #WildAtHeart
The subject of this intimate close-up photograph is a striking young domestic cat (Felis catus), likely a kitten given its size and wide-eyed expression. Its coat exhibits a beautiful calico and tabby pattern—patches of dark brown, black stripes, white, and subtle fawn-orange highlights. The eyes are a brilliant, luminous amber-gold, drawing the viewer directly into its intense gaze. The kitten is centered in the frame, partially obscured and framed by vibrant, tall green grass that creates a natural, soft bokeh effect in the background, making the feline subject pop forward. The natural light highlights the kitten's soft fur and the textures of the individual grass blades. The atmosphere is serene yet alert, capturing a moment of quiet focus. A watermark, "©ahaktekin," is clearly visible in the lower-left corner of the image.

Masked Spirit in the Banyan Tree

#Caturday #VisualPoetry #NaturePhotography #PhotoOfTheDay #CalicoCat #FelisCatus #ChineseBanyan #FicusMicrocarpa #TreeSpirits #MaskedBeauty #GreenEyes #CatPhotography #UrbanWildlife #PetalWhispers #SereneWatcher #OutdoorPhotography #ArtOfNature #SaturdayVibes
The image shows a striking calico cat perched gracefully within the fork of a Chinese Banyan tree (Ficus microcarpa). Its fur is a mosaic of white, orange, and black, with a bold, mask-like black patch framing one side of its face, emphasizing its bright green eyes. One paw is lifted, mid-motion, as though caught between curiosity and caution. The textured bark of the banyan frames the cat, while strands of aerial roots and a backdrop of lush green foliage add depth. A watermark reading “©UDKo” is visible in the bottom left corner. The cat (Felis catus), specifically a calico, displays a genetic mosaic of colors due to X-chromosome inactivation, a trait almost exclusive to females. Calicos have long been associated with good luck and protective energy across cultures. The tree it rests upon is the Chinese Banyan (Ficus microcarpa), native to Asia, often revered as a symbol of resilience, rootedness, and shelter. This banyan, with its broad branches and aerial roots, provides a natural sanctuary — a living stage for the cat’s presence.

Through the Jade Eyes of a Lonely Feeling

#BlackCat #FelisCatus #EmeraldEyes #LonelyFeeling #Brainstorm #VisualPoetry #StreetPhotography #UrbanMystic #ShadowAndLight #Caturday #UrbanWildlife #MysteryInTheCity #UDKo
1. Visual Analysis & Description (Accessible) The image shows a slender black cat stepping partly into view from behind a tall gray pole, its long tail fanning upward like a banner of shadow. Its luminous green eyes stare directly at the camera, sharp yet quietly reflective. The ground is a mix of cracked pavement, small stones, and tufts of green grass breaking through. The blurred background keeps the viewer’s gaze fixed on the cat’s presence. At the lower left corner, a watermark reads ©UDKo. --- 2. Scientific Context The subject is a domestic cat (Felis catus) from the Felidae family. Its dark coat is the result of melanism, a genetic trait that allows fur to take on a uniform black shade, providing stealth in low-light environments. The green eyes, striking in contrast, owe their glow to light refracting through layers of the iris and reflecting back from the tapetum lucidum, which also enhances night vision. Cats such as this thrive in urban ecosystems, slipping easily between hidden corners, streets, and gardens, embodying both wild independence and quiet adaptation to human spaces. --- 3. Poetic Visual Flow with Music There is a quiet ache in this photograph — the black cat looks out with a presence that feels both near and far, as though carrying unspoken stories. Paired with Brainstorm’s “Lonely Feeling”, the mood deepens into something soulful and bittersweet: a solitary figure wandering in twilight, at once vulnerable and untamed. The emerald gaze becomes a window into loneliness wrapped in dignity, echoing the song’s refrain of longing and quiet resilience. In this moment, the cat becomes more than an urban wanderer — it is a symbol of endurance, mystery, and the strange beauty of solitude

My daughter has no school today, so she's not ditching—for a change—and we watched the first episode of a manga ➡️ anime adaptation we've been awaiting, w/ the modified title NYAIGHT OF THE LIVING CATS. #漫画 #Zombies #NightOfTheLivingCats #NyaightOfTheLivingCats #FelisCatus
Not the ideal conditions for watching anything: in a bright room, a screen displays a frame from the post-credits scene of episode one. It's almost like a cuts of meat diagram, but the idea is which parts of a cat are safe to touch, and which are kinda taboo by cat standards ie risk injury / death. The subtitle reads "Hey, don't sound so scary."

Listen to any human’s story for long enough & that thing can be found 🌱

Our kittens agree.

More intermittent and old sci-art from September 2022... This one is like ripping off a band-aid whenever I post it somewhere.

Prompt: monstrous
#cat #feliscatus #sciart #traditionalart
An ink drawing done with black and red ballpoint pen and markers. The main subject is a silhouetted domestic cat. Other subjects are small creatures that feral cats are known to hunt: rodents (mouse, chipmunk, and squirrel pictured,) frogs, lizards, insects (butterfly pictured,) fish, and birds (ground bird, hatchlings in nest, and passerine pictured.) The art-style is fairly simplistic: marker to fill in large shapes and background colors, and ballpoint pen to create finer details.

A grey teen cat with Greenish-Yellow eyes sprawled across an open MacBook on a table by a window. He has his paws tucked underneath his chest and is looking very comfortable. Foreground is the tablecloth with a blue and white floral motif. In the background the branches of a willow tree close by can be seen through a window but the focus of the photo is the cat on the laptop.
