what a pretty kitty. Does it get cold in the wintertime--especially those huge ears? My cat's ears are always cold this time of year and she likes to snuggle with me under the covers when I go to bed (keeps me warm too!)
Hi Nina and Ruthie! Yes, because Cornish Rex cats don't have the outer guard hairs, they are always looking for warmth. Sometimes they are called neck jewelry because they like to snuggle up on the neck for warmth. He's always on someone's lap or climbing under blankets to snuggle up. He's very much like a dog and even fetches. A lot of people make fun of him and call him "rat cat" because of his skinny tail or "bat cat" because of his very large ears. Either way, he is very, very sweet.
I hand hold the camera for all my photos (I used to use a monopod or tripod for distance and macro, but the VR lenses don't seem to require it). I crop the images down in Aperture (I'm a Mac).
The Story Behind "Red and the Peanut"
Red and the Peanut is named after my first bird memory. When I was about six, I was at my Great Aunt Mary's house and she was telling me about Red and the peanut. "Red" was a Northern Cardinal that had trained Aunt Mary to feed it peanuts on demand. Since Aunt Mary's "Red" started it all, what better name could I choose?
