Bella Being Tricked

"Down on the floor with my cat,
I gain a whole new perspective on life."


I bragged about getting some great shots of Bella the other day.  I had put a duck decoy on the deck to dry and pretended I was taking some shots of the duck.  Bella fell for the trick but I had my camera on completely wrong settings.  This was salvageable.

Bella is the most popular cat name lately. When I adopted my cat recently the people at the animal shelter were relieved I didn't pick Bella as her name smile

She's pretty.
Mary MacADNski: Funny story about her name. The kittens looked so much alike I was afraid I would mix them up. She had some browns so I wanted a name with B. My then teenage kids wanted to call her Chickie. I wanted to call her Bella. Her official name is Chickie Bella. Kenz had a distinct M on her forehead so I wanted an M to begin her name. Her official name is Ms. MacKenzie after the woman who gave them to us. It got shortened to Kenz but still call her the full name occasionally. They both answer to all their names. They will be 12 in August.

This is a very fine shot...she's pretending to be only slightly interested, and is beginning to see your crude ruse...
Mary MacADNski: That is right. She was getting bored by this time. I will try it again though with proper camera settings.
This is a really magnificent shot Mary of a beautiful cat. She doesn't look fazed by your antics. She's probably amused that she has that power over you! LOL smile
Mary MacADNski: That is it exactly, Sheila. She is the queen and we are all lesser beings. She's has a ton of personality.

lol, the best laid plans of mice and ladies smile
Mary MacADNski: I'm going to try this again as it worked well other than my error with the camera.
Beautifully captured Mary. She looks slightly interested in you playing with your toys.
Mary MacADNski: She was beginning to get bored with it all. I will try this ruse again as it worked beautifully.

Lovely portrait, and what a gorgeous cat!!
Mary MacADNski: She's a great girl and thinks she's a queen.
She's a real beauty, Mary - even one saved shot is a bonus!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Tom. I will try the ruse again some day.
I can almost reach out and touch that fur...
Mary MacADNski: She would like that , Larry but she'd pretend for a few minutes that she didn't. She is a queen.

"We are not amused" as our late Queen Victoria reputedly said!
Mary MacADNski: That is Bella in a nutshell.
ciao Bella!
Mary MacADNski: Meow Stefania.
