Description See images from this year's Holiday Greeting Cards to Help Animals in Need HERE: [link]


This is dedicated to the wonderful group AND to its Founder
I've been working in this group, it seems since nearly it's beginning- it seems a long time, and it really is a great group, and I've known Jenna a long time on dA, and she's been a good friend, not to mention supportive of The Shelter Project, too.

I am wishing her the best for the holidays and much success during the new year!

This is Zorra and it is the female version of the Spanish word Zorro meaning "Mask" and she was named that for the obvious physical looking mask around her eyes, but also because of all of our cats, her history is the one most shrouded in mystery!

This is an effort to do 2 things:

This will round out a much nicer collection of Holiday Pet images to be available for Holiday Animal Greeting Cards for NEXT Year...
as I had NO idea I would get what orders I DID get, this year, and I felt unprepared with the images I had, both in the area of holiday animals and regular holiday images to be honest!
[even if it was nice, that the images I had were wanted anyway... ]

And in a GREATER effort to help support The South Coast Humane Society through The Shelter Project by having a nicer variety in general.

We adopted Zorra right about the same time as we adopted Herbie: [link] . We got her the day before Herbie, on April 15, 2009.
But the vet said, while she seemed to be a young cat, her teeth and gums had problems, so he put her age then at between 2 and 7. So she could be anywhere from 4-9. Don't know. Mystery.

She was very ill at the time, skinny, patchy baldness around the neck head, ears, and a severe case of ear mites, which we treated repeatedly, and of course she thought we were trying to torture her, which was just horrible for all of us.

So was not a very social cat for a long while, but would come to me if I came into the room where she was... but NOWADAYS...
well, she has changed drastically these days. She is much healthier, and she is everyone's lap cat, and has the loudest pur of any of them, even if she is the smallest cat, barely 6 pounds, tinier than 6 pound Sha-Sha: [link]

She even sat in my dad's lap this past Summer when my parents visited, and he doesn't even really like cats.
[That was kind of funny! ]


More of Zorra.

She was just so interested in everything!
We were surprised she did so well, cause she is sooo difficult to photograph... she's gotten better in recent times as she is more social now...
but even so, most people have always thought her photos look scared or mean, when she's anything BUT.
It's her marking, though. Oh well!
Thanks!

We've tried to practice more with her lately, now that she has been coming out more. It is not easy, but she has gotten better, so I really do appreciate your comment EXTRA so!

Aww she looks scared here. In personality she reminds me of Zoey our "Ninja" kitty, who only comes out late at night when I'm feeding the baby or if I'm alone. As a friend say, when you go to pet her, it seems like she doesn't remember she likes being petted, but once you corner her and start, she purrs and loves it. She is a full siamese and is hilariously loud. When we first brought our son home, she would stand on the other side of his door and meow until I let her in, now I just keep it open for her to come visit!

TeaPhotography In reply to Kimantha333 [2011-12-21 05:24:31 +0000 UTC]

Yes, she does sort of appear that way...
But since I know her, I know that she isn't actually scared,
BUT in most all photos we ever can get out of her, she either looks "mean" or "scared" even in her best ones that we've decided to upload, and that is the most popular responses that people reply with...

but it is due to her intense marking that she comes out looking this way, such bright clear eyes, surrounded by black fur mask makes the intensity of her eyes seem much more expressive than they are, so "scared" and "mean" seem more than they are...

Oh that is so sweet about the Zoey the Siamese... and how she really does want attention but only at night or when alone. They all have their own particular ways, don't they!

Kimantha333 In reply to TeaPhotography [2011-12-22 18:05:42 +0000 UTC]

Aww, that's how it goes. She's a gorgeous kitty, I've always loved coloring like that. I have to get a good pic of Zoey, bright eyes surrounded by black is exactly her. Her eyes are humongous looking due to the blue color of them, and the rich mask coloring.

Zoey was a real rescue, we drove over an hour to pick her up. Her former owner was a younger pregnant lady, and when she told her boyfriend that he had to clean the litterbox for nine months he said "If thats the case, I'll just take her out back and shoot her" I have no doubts most of her shy behavior was reinforced by yelling and kicks from that lout. And to think, she is the nicest cat, and also the softest furred of our group.
