Love how the leopard takes up most of the shot and dominates it. It really adds to this powerful sleekness exuding from her. I love her spots, and how the white of her whiskers glow in the light and the colour of her eye. Very piercing, even when not directed towards us. Lovely, beautiful shot!

o3o pretty kitty.
I love their spots. Every single one is unique, and when they're moving, it's like the fur and spots have a life of their own!

Does she not have a mate, or can't she have cubs? D:

woxys In reply to CatGirlPrime [2009-08-21 19:42:38 +0000 UTC]

she has a male, handsome male Arnold, but they do not have kittens I have already seen them mating I also saw Ruwani, who was desperately trying to gain Arnold's attention to have sex with him, but he did not care!

Lazy male!

CatGirlPrime In reply to woxys [2009-08-21 21:39:48 +0000 UTC]

:/ hm. Well, gestation period for leopards is about 3-4 months or so. Maybe she'll have cubs soon.

CatGirlPrime In reply to woxys [2009-08-21 22:06:15 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it just won't happen, then.
She can always adopt any stray babies if need be, though!

I do not know, there are simply very very FEW deviations in ,,posted in last 8 hours" and those, who are the most popular, have only some 20 views after 8 hours I am very sure there is something wrong :/
