I thought I'd better strike while the iron was hot and upload this week's Image of the Week!

This rather large tabby cat appeared from nowhere at my dad's house just before Christmas last year. He has a lovely nature, and I guess he just wants some company - oh, and food! He's a perpetual eating machine! He has a regular routine, visiting three times a day, coinciding with breakfast, lunch and dinner times!

He's such a beautiful and vocal cat though, you find it hard not to give in and feed him!

Unlike most cats, he is the most wonderful of subjects to photograph, and he played my photographic muse while I visited dad at the weekend. In fact he's such a professional, he even managed to colour coordinate himself with the old piece of carpet he's sitting on!
