Noel, aka, the CAT FROM ****

[Mack Hicks]

Noel, because she showed up on Christmas Eve, 2001. The Cat from ****, because she is, although she has mellowed. Lots of love and drugs have helped with her catitude. She was obviously abused at her first home, so she adopted up. She had been neutered and had all four paws declawed, leaving her defenseless except for her teeth and attitude, both sharp. She is very loving most of the time to me and my spouse, but visitors beware. Just happened to have my camera in hand one night when she was behind the "le chat noir" metal sculpture. Flash brought out the evil retinal glow when fits her alterego. To post all our cats, will need to extend Pet Week to Pet Month.

Mack, Very funny and would make a great Halloween Party Invitation, just select the cat and the metal and put it onto a BG with an orange sun or a moon or a purple BG-The possibilities are endless!

Sensory overload if you have so many cats !!!!

Fitting image for Noel Does look like a character !! Looking forward to seeing his face and eyes ... I'm sure he took his time and concentration before selecting his home :)

.......... I like catitude :D:):)

[Mack Hicks]

Great idea, Denise. Thank you.
Alfred, besides cattitude, Noel sometimes exhibits psycatic behavior.

[Craig Markham]

Great that you were able to CATch the moment! He seems to be closely studying the back of the metal work.

[Kerry Perkins]

This picture makes me CATatonic! Very cool and I completely understand the situation. I have rescued cats that have had some very bad humans in their lives, but we can make a difference and they all seem to come around eventually. They respond to love.

Unbelievable that you had your camera close by to capture this image. Could not be more perfect. Congratulations Mack and so happy to hear she has found a loving home.
