The Tabby Gang that roams around my mums garden is so adorable, I dont have enough of them. It is such a shame they are not much used to human touch and petting them is off the menu at all times. They are quite social though, to some extend, and will stay close (there is free food after all) to the house and often follow me around. But always keeping safe distance.
Two of them are nearly identical, more grey tabby boys. And boy, do they know how to pose...
This is one of them.
No more hooman, no more!
Aj, itchy itchy itchy!
Much better! You may proceed hooman.
Despite his quite serious look, he is very eager to play. Either way they will all run around chasing each other, or if there is some willing human playing with them with a stick and a tread - he will be the first one to join trying to catch the line.
And this is the time he will get pretty close, but one traitorous move and he will jump back to safe distance again, look at you like is he was trying to say "Why did you do that? I was having fun!", wait a minute and come back to playing like if nothing happened :)
And then you have the little tabby sister that also mentioned in this post that is smaller and have more ginger hints. Truly lovely girl. And the only one that will allow some slight pets, if you manage to get close very calmly.
Just look at that face, the tiny paws and tail around them.
Cuteness overload!
