Today’s selection of selfies comes from a recent visit to Neko Ngeru Cat Cafe, in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. They are not perfect but they capture an event that made lots of people laugh.
Meet Alfie the handsome silver tabby currently up for adoption at Neko Ngeru. There have been expressions of interest so Alfie’s good looks have caught the attention of a few potential adopters. With the arrival of new cats and the risk Alfie might leave soon I grabbed a chance to take some fun photos (including a sweet portrait).
Alfie, as you can see here is quite fearless. He sprang up the super tall scratch post with energy and determination and was nearly at the top when I grabbed my camera. You can just see a corner of the ceiling top right of this photograph.
Alfie then tried to pivot and leap into the cat box you can see on the right of the photo. He got his head in, and then……
After a moment……
He got a bit stuck and cafe owner Richelle, ever vigilant for cat safety, loaned him a pair of helping hands to get him across and into the box!
If you are looking at Alfie’s rear paws, yes he is just out of kittenhood and, looking at his substantial paws, he will grow up to be a fine large cat one day.
For now, here is the sweet silver tabby given the monochrome treatment. Isn’t he just an absolute sweetheart?
BTW. In case you are wondering who ‘Roz’ on the box is, she is a delightful tuxedo youngster who I might feature next time.
Look at Alfie’s floofy tail! He’s such a handsome guy!
Whomever adopts Alfie best have a lot of good climbing things for him to practise on!! What a handsome sweetheart he is!
He’s gorgeous!
Sometimes you just have to get higher up, right? This is a beautiful cat.
He is such a cutie. XO
He is SO precious!
Charlee: “Highest cat wins! Looks like today that’s Alfie, even if a little boost was required to achieve it!”
Java Bean: “Gracias for stopping by! I am doing much better this week and am off the pain medication from my rattlesnake bite! Now I just need to find the one that bit me so I can get revenge on—”
Lulu: “We talked about this, Bean! Just stay away from it!”
* Helpless laughter * OOOOH I am glad you are doing OK Java Bean. It is a relief to hear.
Yes, Alfie needed a boost but he made us laugh!!!!
Wow, what an adventurous and handsome cat guy! We’ll purr here for Alfie to be adopted soon!
I believe there are some ‘interested’ parties waiting….
That was some climbing action and such a good looking tabby!
Wow, Archie is quite the climber! We hope he climbs his way into some lucky family’shearts real soon. And we will be looking for Roz. XO
