Introducing Archie and Lucy

[rickr]

Hi Everyone, I'm a long time cat caretake and new member.  I'd like to introduce you to my beautiful companions, Archie and Lucy.

We live in Louisiana where I recently retired.  Now I have lots of time to dote on and photograph my cats :-).  You can learn more about Archie and Lucy in my profile.

Thank you. I'm so glad I found this site.

Welcome to TCS @RickR  , and congratulations on Lucy's picture being selected for Photograph of the Week.  

Love Lucy's expression in your photo in this thread, she is looking a little less enthusiastic about having her photograph taken then Archie. 

    Both gorgeous looking cats by the way, and your photographs look very professional. I hope to see lots more of them around the site.

Yes.  The funny thing is, Lucy generally loves to have her picture taken.  Like many cats, she has an expressive face; in this pic she chose to share one of her pouty faces.  And because the picture was taken from slightly above her, the angle intensifies her "look."

   That's great:  the next time I get a photo with Mouse glaring at me I'll just tell everyone he wasn't really giving me the evil eye - it was just the angle I took the picture from.  

    Of course no one will believe me but I can always try.

You obviously know what you are doing when you take photographs - unlike me as I just point the camera and press the button hoping for the best.

They're beautuful! How old are they?

Thank you.  They're about five and a half years old.  They joined our family in September, 2010.

Black kitten being bottle-fed.

   This cracks me up, but really, how adorably cute can a kitten be?

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Lucy is so lucky to be alive.  I'd never raised an infant kitten; I did just about everything wrong.  Fortunately, she lived thru my mistakes and grew into a healthy, beautiful cat.

Face first in the food dish!  What a wonderfully classic "cute kitten" pic!  I laughed so louldly that Hekitty jumped off of the couch and came to see what was up! 

Welcome to TCS.  I'm still fairly new here in terms of time (although I run my mouth...erm...fingertips...all over the place.  You're going to have so much fun on this site!  It is the friendliest I've found, and I've learned stuff I never knew in 60-ish years of cats.
