Tolstoy's thread

[flisssweetpea]

Awwww guys thank you so much. Tolstoy is such a lovely, gentle boy. His eyes show his true character.

You're all so sweet - you were even nice about his freaky expression

Katiemae - yes that's right, their fur is agouti. It's officially called sepia ticked agouti. Each of the ticked strands has three colour band in it. It's quite amazing to look at them actually. You Aby boys must have been so handsome

Some photos of my boy

as it's been a while

. He was enjoying a trip out to the garden with his big skin-sister on Friday. The evening sun brought out the lovely apricot tones in his fur.







He's so sweet and has been with us for almost a year now.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful new pictures of Tolstoy.
He is such an elegant boy.

Tolstoy sends purrs and headbutts - his Meowmy thinks he's a handsome lad too

Oh he's such a handsome boy. He and Lovely Lily make such a beautiful pair. Your photo's are so nice as well. I love how clear they are. Beautiful.

Thank you Hope. I was chasing around the garden playing with the camera and photographing butterflies when Tolstoy came out for a walk. He became my next subject!

I was amazed that in the full sized version of the bottom photo, I could see the reflection of everything in his eyes, it was like looking through Tolstoy's eyes to see what he was looking at.

Beautiful pictures of your beautiful boy!

I bet he had a wonderful evening in the garden and posing for you!

Oh, he just makes me melt!

I want to kiss that little coppery nose!

Awww Sarah - yes he loves a walk in the fresh air. Can't you tell he enjoys posing for his Meowmy too

His gorgeous nose is so kissable isn't it Kelly!

Well, it's been a while since I added to Tolstoy's thread. Here is a photo of our gorgeous boy celebrating his 5th birthday earlier this week. It was just about impossible to get a decent photo of him - he was in party mood and didn't want to sit still

I can see the mischief just waiting to happen in Tolstoy's eyes.

Is your tree still standing?

What a beautiful Christmas picture of Tolly.

 

[flisssweetpea]

The tree is still standing for now Lei

- although considering what it took to get the picture, I'm not sure it will be standing for long

.

It took Daddy to put a kitty treat on the tree to get him to sit nicely - was this such a good idea daddy???

Here are a couple of shots from along the way

Tolly says I'm sure there's a treat there somewhere



If only I could find it



Tolly - it's up there. "Where?" says Tolly



Ah - found it



All this to try and get that one good photo

Although, now that he thinks the tree dispenses treats we might be in for a trying time

The things we do for our cats.

It was worth the effort though..
that is a lovely picture of Tolley.
You will treasure it the rest of your life.

Now Mr. Tree...give Tolly some more treats.
