 Serious guy

Serious guy

This cat, named Phil, was already mentioned here when he was a baby: i posted his photo four months ago. Since then he grew up and got this serious expression on his face, always looking like he's going to eat you the next moment. Despite this look he is very nice, fawning cat, starting to purr the moment you touch him.

 Oh Hai!



I've already posted a photo of this little lizard not long ago. I haven't seen him since then and thought he was gone. But yesterday he appeared here again. I think i was searching for him in a wrong place or maybe he was hiding while moulting: there's still some dry skin on his head.
Seems now he's afraid of me less than before and i've even watched him hunting and eating flies. It was amazing, this baby has lot of patience to seat and wait, but when needed he is lightning fast and doesn't leave a single chance to his prey.

 King Lizard (19 photos)

This handsome guy is a true king of his district. When i met him, he was fighting with other, smaller male, but i frightened them both, so he escaped and went to hide on a nearby acacia tree:

I was in hurry so i quickly made couple of shots and continued on my way, being sure i'll never see him again. But when i came back one hour later, i found him sitting on the same tree. So i made it a photo session.

 New neighbour

I'm almost sure that this lizard is stellion (Laudakia stellio). Or some very similar Agamidae:

Baby stellion lizard

He decided to settle down on the fence of our forecourt and it is good thing: there's a belief that lizards bring fortune to home they live in.
This is a very young specimen, about just 10-12 centimeters long; adults are much bigger, something like 30 cm. in length, and have heavier head and wider body. I've seen many of them in desert around here but never met them living near inhabited places. Might be nice to tame him, they known as friendly animals.

 Picture Me

Lots of cats recently; i just can't resist photographing them.

black cat

I've been photographing someone outside when this cat approached us. She was very friendly and sat there for a while, watching. As a joke i pointed the camera to her direction and the cat actually started posing, like inviting me to photograph more. For this one i had to lie on the ground. I think the cat laughed at me on that: just look at ironic expression on her face.
Some PP applied. :)

 «Who do you looking at?!»

tiger

This is the dude from Life Is A Miracle! i posted two weeks ago.
Dirt on the left side of his mouth is actually a sign of recent accident: he was hit by a running car. Everyone was pretty sure the cat is going to die, but he survived — spent one of his nine lives i guess. Now a piece of his bottom lip is missing. Seems like he doesn't care at all and enjoy the life as usual.
I wonder what does he think while i photographing him? This expression on his face is somewhat frightening… If he was a big tiger he will eat me for sure. :)

This is the cat that everyone knows and cares of. He lives on the street but has a food and place to sleep thanks to all his human friends. His life is fantastic!
