As Zephirine and others have said, so often we choose animals that look like ourselves. Sometimes in colour - like yesterday's Italian lady.Or today's cat - notice the sweep of the lady's chin and how it matches the shape of the cat's face. Happily not the whiskers - and aren't they beautiful whiskers!
I used to breed and show Old English Sheepdogs but really I didn't look like one - then I realised the truth. My husband at the time - long hair, cuddly like a teddy bear - that's why I got my first Old English Sheepdog! We are still great friends.
Ce chat pris à contrejour est magnifique
ReplyDeletej'aimerai avoir de telles moustaches
Jilly I just had to laugh at your last paragraph - in fact I'm still laughing. Does your ex-husband know?
ReplyDelete:-)))
Bergson - LOL. Stop trimming your moustache !
ReplyDeleteNathalie, Oh yes he knew. He loved them too!
ReplyDeleteFor an ex-husband to be compared to a dog, he could do a lot worse than a sheepdog.
ReplyDeleteDave, it was meant and indeed is a compliment to him!
ReplyDeleteThis is so marvellous. I just adore the 1st image - looks like a very wise cat. LOL on the Old English Sheepdogs - I like your expanded theory on pet ownership. Our golden retriever looks a lot like my husband who has a slim face with an Aquiline nose.
ReplyDeleteMy son used to play a computer memory game based on 101 Dalmatians, where the object was to match the dog owner to the person by openning windows. Lots of fun.
I have reddish hair and I love ginger cats - my present one likes to sit on my shoulder, and we get a lot of jokes about which of us is a fashion accessory for the other!
ReplyDeleteYour cat whiskers photo is really great. Ihope I look more like my Border Collie than my Boxer. But others would have to judge that.
ReplyDeleteAdorable & funny, Jilly. GG's hair is more gingery than mine, and I'm not nearly as cute...but we resemble the other in devilish spirits.
ReplyDeleteFrom the snowy skies of Washington, DC, hello!
awww cute cat, well the saying goes that pets look like their owners :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Jilly!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous shot Jilly. One of your best I'd say. I think that you and your new camera are getting along very very well! That's hilarious that the sheepdog looked like your ex!!!
