Hello from me, Snow, Robert and my feral friends

[xkappax]

Hi, I'm not completely new to this site, but it's been a very long time since I've visited here, so this is a bit of a reintroduction.

I'm pretty shy when it comes to these things.... I don't really know what to say. I'm an illustrator/graphic designer/photographer/cat enthusiast. I own one cat (Snow) but during the pandemic, my neighbor's cat, Robert, has decided that my backyard is his playground and I've also found a feral cat colony that I help out with from time to time, so it seems that I'm surrounded by cats 24/7 (which is not really a problem, lol)

Anyway, it's nice to meet you all. ^_^ Here are some pictures of my friends, Snow, Marlon, Phony, Brando, Sammy and Robert.

Thank you! And yes, they are great for inspiration, this is actually a silly little illustration I made just last week that was inspired by Robert! ^_^

Nice to meet you and Snow, Marlon, Phony, Brando Sammy and Robert!

A big welcome to ALL of you!

Welcome, welcome!!

My goodness, such lovely feline family you got there! Look at Brando! Wow!

 

[xkappax]

Thank you so much! and yeah, we always joke that Brando is probably just someone's indoor cat who shows up at the outdoor cat colony because he looks like a super model. Unfortunately, I know that's not the case, but at least he's well loved by me and his other caretakers. He's a bit shy and skittish, but when he does let you pet him, he's probably the softest cat I've ever encountered. And I love the color of his fur! He's got a bunch of gradients going on.

Beautiful kitties. So good of you to help take care of the ferals.

How did Phony get its name?

How did Phony get its name?

These cats live on my friend's property. Phony was the first cat to show up there, and my friend had an indoor cat named Sony. Phony apparently looks EXACTLY like Sony did, so they named him that because they said he looked like a Sony imposter.

Phony is a great cat. He's very shy, he won't let anyone pet him, but I have gotten him to play with toys before. I just came back from visiting them and I was talking to him. I've come a long way with him, he lets me walk right by him now, he used to just run.

xkappax welcome back to TCS and i love your cats

 

[xkappax]

Thank you! Your cats are beautiful! ^_^

 

[strider rose]

xkappax they are all females named lily rose , lucky and stardust but not from the same litter , each were rescues

 

[xkappax]

They are very cute! I have a soft spot for white cats, especially. My Snow is a rescue, Robert is not mine, he's the neighbor's cat, but he is here 90 percent of the day, he loves it here. So he's not my cat, but I'm his human. The others are all outdoor cats that live on a friend's property, but I play with them and socialize them (and photograph them ALOT). They're all very very spoiled male cats, even the outdoor ones.

 

[strider rose]

xkappax well i would say that you are doing a fine job with them ! lucky my all white girl is my husband's baby girl and the other two are mine . lily rose lives with my mom in texas as she is a elderly cat now

 

[margecat]

Such beautiful kitties! Brando looks a lot like my Nami!

Thank you all so much again for the warm welcome! I'm so shy about these things, I'm glad I actually got the nerve to post something, you are all so nice.
