| Poor Mr. Toby. He's the only one of the cats that still hasn't figured out Mr. Romeo is actually a wimp under that intimidating presentation of self. Romeo likes to run up to the other cats and sort of tag them on the rear end, not a fighting blow but more of a gentle tap just to let them know who is "boss". But they've figured it out, and even Ms. Annie, physically the smallest of the current crowd, just turns around and faces Romeo, who quickly retreats. Sometimes he even curls up and acts helpless in the face of even token resistance. But Toby has yet to break through initial appearances, and ends up getting picked on.
So now he has to run the Romeo gauntlet to reach us and solicit love and praise, which he did successfully this morning. Luckily I had a camera close at hand. [Canon Digital Rebel XT, Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens at f/2.5, ISO 200, 1/160 second] |
