‘The Catnip Thief’ A Photo Snapshot

16/12/2018 by Marjorie Dawson 9 Comments

We are celebrating the catnip thief this week with a selfie and the Kitties Blue. This is our visitor who we call ‘Angus’ as we don’t know his real name.

Angus has been visiting since he was a youngster and once sheltered for a couple of days during a fierce storm that swept the valley here. 

He has grown up to be a chunky young man as ginger boys like Teddy and Angel Sammy will recognise. He also has a liking for catnip plants, which you can see in our selfie.

The Catnip Thief

This selfie of the catnip thief was taken with my smartphone and is far from perfect but it is a good example of taking the decision to capture a cute moment rather than rushing to find my DSLR. I would have missed the opportunity as Angus jumped down immediately he realised he had been spotted.

The catnip was meant to be out of the cats’ reach on a higher shelf than they can usually get to. I guess we got that wrong didn’t we!

GIVEAWAY

Don’t forget to enter our worldwide free giveaway. I would love a selfie buddy to win! You can enter here or here for one of the three prizes available. CLICK ON THE PICTURE to enter!

Have a great week everyone,

Marjorie and the

    What a great ‘capture’ of the thief in action!

    Petcretary now has our unfurbro-the-elder’s old smartphone, not as a phone but as a portable camera since her regular one (A big Canon point and shoot, SX40), is rather bulky and heavy. So now she can take pictures on the fly as it were. Almost as good s having a camera in her fingertip! MOL!

    Angus is so cute, and clearly quite the climber 😉 We are so pleased you took the picture when you did, and it is still a lovely image.

    Angus is a very opportunistic catnip thief! He’s ginger though so that would always excuse him in my mind.
