I made Thi Cat my signature at least for a while. I met the below alley cat with the original coat once when I was exercising with a new lens on my camera. Thi Cat knew immediately what it was all about and started to show me all the poses it got in mind. I show the best out of 36 and the pictures speak for themselves.

My first cat in mind I met when I was sent to Denmark at five. The old lady-cat learned me much. You shall not grip the tail too hard. You shall stop the game in time. It is good to have a nest.

I and later my dog learnt that too when we hide under our blackberry bushes. She was always in command and once she taught a visiting German dog to stay cool.

She had patience to listen when I trained my speech, since I had to go it all over again in a new world. During the years I have studied cats and their behaviour and tried to figure out their mind.

I think I have a wild cat inside and those cat-eyes are real since I have seen them in the mirror once ... but that is my secret.

I could tell much about cats I have met, but I think you have more fun in studying your own way.

The real thing
