Description Fresh picture! Autumn is so lovely and I've gotten a lot of lovely new photos this week so I must hurry to get some up here before winter comes and it's time for snowy shots instead.

Felix is very difficult to take pictures of. He thinks it's a game when I follow him with the camera and he just loves when I chase him so he won't stay still for very long - unless he's somewhere up high. He likes high places. I think they make him feel secure and a little bit superior.
Felix is the biggest reason why I've had to work on getting fast photos out of my camera because he's like a Ferrari passing by. If I don't keep up I won't get any pictures of him out in the garden. That's why I always celebrate pictures of him a little bit extra. I feel like I did good when I got a good shot of him. Β 

Some of my faithful watchers might have noticed by now that Felix' eye colour tends to change between shots. I don't know what causes this, but I think it has something to do with the surrounding light and the way it hits his eyes.
He had amber eyes as a kitten, but they changed colour when he grew. Sometimes I still see flecks of that amber though. Other times his eyes are completely green or yellow, or something in between. I find it pretty cool.

It certainly does become you, Felix.Β 

I love the "like a Ferrari passing by." That was too funny...

Thank you!

I think of him as my "Ferrari cat" because he's very fast and he's always on his way, always running, and when he comes running he makes a sort of "Mrrrrrrrrrrrew!" sound (hard to explain). Before I stared to understand what the sound meant (something like "Hey, here I come! Notice me!") I thought of it as the sound a sports car makes when it passes you by, like: "Wrrrroom!"
A bit silly, but I thought it was funny and the Ferrari label stuck.

RavenMontoya In reply to LuLupoo [2014-10-23 20:10:53 +0000 UTC]

He probably thinks I'm crazy too for running after him like a maniac with the camera when he does his best to shake me off.
I have a soft spot for tabbies so I think he's very handsome. I really like his mackerel stripes.

RavenMontoya In reply to LuLupoo [2014-10-23 20:58:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, it's not just luck it's also timing and training. It is sorely needed with a cat that'll only stay still for about 5 seconds before running off like a parkour maniac with his ears back and tail waving. He's like a squirrel on speed sometimes and the camera just can't keep up. I'm looking into buying a new one though. Β

Oh my he is a fast fellow. He must really hate the camera
Must be funny you chasing him with camera in hand. Β

RavenMontoya In reply to LuLupoo [2014-10-23 21:08:28 +0000 UTC]

I don't think he hates the camera, he doesn't seem to care about it at all.
He runs because he loves it when I chase him. We used to chase each other when he was a kitten and he thought it was so much fun - and it was the only way to get him tired. He was always hyper in the middle of the night.
I think that's why he gets very (over) excited when I start to follow him because he's never annoyed by it, just super, super happy, so I guess it's partially my own fault he's so hard to take pictures of. He thinks we're playing tag, or something.

So in all reality he doesnt mine the photos he just got use

cute.

I think so too.
All the cats are used to the camera. I've used it around them since they were kittens. They just don't understand what's the big deal with it and why they should even bother to look at it.

Felix looks like he's giving that "Happy now?" look.XD

Maybe he's an alien that's why his eye color changes a lot?jk lol But that's really awesome.

RavenMontoya In reply to ink-avenue [2014-10-23 19:09:06 +0000 UTC]

I think he looks a bit tired, but I don't know. He was so exhausted by the end of that photo session that he was starting to curl up in in all available places - under bushes, on top of a shed - to sleep for a few seconds before he was off again like a rocket to chase one of the other cats. I think he sleept for at least 14 hours when I let him go inside afterwards.
