PET WEEK / Miles

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Miles is a five-year old Burmilla (brown-shaded). A cross between Burmese and Chinchilla. Relatively new in Australia and not a common breed. He has the intelligence of the Burmese and laid-back attitude of the Chinchilla and his coat is incredibly soft and smooth. He is really affectionate, talks a lot, loves catnaps on your lap, and uses his paw to reach out to you when he wants something. An awesome member of our huge animal family. :D He got his name because we travelled many Miles to a cat show where we fell in love with him on the spot.

I deliberately shot him backlit with a flash and in the PP applied a Tiffen filter (cannot remember which) but I liked the smooth rendition so it stayed.

Miles is beautiful! I love the backlit ears and the pink and white is so cute!! His eyes are gorgeous!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Thanks D. He is stunning, that's probably the best way to describe him.

Hi Akos,
Miles is a handsome fellow...all he needs is a black tie to go out on the town...thanks for sharing...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Akos I had not idea about this breed !!! I'm sure it will gain Championship status soon and will be popular !!! Gorgeous !!!

Six Jackie, six and I would love another six. But the fur everywhere! LOL! We have three dogs from death row too.

At the moment I am a bit of a stray myself in a way. :(

Thank you for looking.

Beautiful image and a stunning subject. Love the eyes and the beautiful lighting in this capture. Thanks for sharing Akos.

Stunningly beautiful! The backlight set him off well.

Hola Akos!

Es curioso ver como algunos miembros en BPN aman las aves y tambien tienes gatos!!!

Love those eyes and their color. Great pet.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Gracias Don Juan.
Usted es un hombre gracioso Juan. Me encantan todos los animales, excepto los cocodrilos.

Pero gracias por sus amables palabras.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Ay Akos!

Para empezar ''Quiteme el ''Don'' y deme la plata'', (este es solo un dicho que usamos en CR!)
La verdad es que estoy bastante joven para que me llamen ''Don'' pero bueno, volviendo a los animales, que tienen de malo los cocodrilos? ellos han estado con nosotros por millones de años y nos han demostrado lo astutos que son y como se pueden adaptar a los habitats.

Ahora, por que usted dice que soy gracioso? este rex...

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Juan
No entiendo rex.

Gracias por tu lección de mi amigo español.

[Mack Hicks]

Absolutely gorgeous, both the cat and the photo. Gus, I disagree with you, I think he needs a pink bowtie!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Juan
No entiendo rex.

Gracias por tu lección de mi amigo español.

Rex del Latin Rey!

Claro si eres el rey de los gatos! LOL:D

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Ahora que soy. Usted es demasiado divertido Juan.
