Will you be my Mamma
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 19 November 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Bahbahra sometimes may appear very confident and outgoing but as you can see here sometimes she is seeking a motherly figure
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Oh my dear Bahbahra! She has her insecure moments like the rest of us bless her! A lovely image. I hope she doesn't feel rejected by the cat!!
19 Nov 2008 8:26am
@Linerberry: Thanks, the cat did reject her but Bahbahra bounces back and is very sociable as future shots will show
Stéphane from Bruxelles, Belgium
Great composition and a beautiful cat by the way. I like the blur effect around the subject.

What it is this nice, is really a cat or a cuddly toy of cat? but your idea to interest the cat in the cuddly toy does not function, it will be necessary to find another mom ;)

@Pixim: it really is a cat our persian blue and yes your right it didnt work, bahbahra is still looking for a motherly figure
FLOOG from United Kingdom
Oh, that pussy cat is just divine. A funny and wonderful photograph, gorgeous colour and tones, and so nicely presented.
Have I mentioned yet how gorgeous that pussy cat is...... ha ha
19 Nov 2008 10:17am
@FLOOG: thanks, the cat is beautiful but very set in her eyes, in her minds this is her house and were merely here to serve her at her convenience
Nicholas from Shah Alam, Malaysia
Lol I thought she was about take on the cat for something :P

Somehow that looks like a rather dangerous spot -- beautiful photo.

Hess from Murphy, United States
Nice lighting in this shot...especially in the cat's eyes...really brings out the color. I don't think your cat is feeling the mothering love here.

This cat is beautiful !! A cuddly toy cat (i'm not sure my translation, sorry). And this picture is so lovely.

I didn't realise before just how small Bahbahra (darn - now the Beach Boys are rolling around in my head again!) is. Just shows you how observant I've been in the past. Looking at the expression on the cat's face, however, I think the question more likely is "Will you be my bodyguard?" :)
19 Nov 2008 4:34pm
@dobbino: She is indeed quite tiny maybe only an inch tall. lol the bodyguard may be more appropriate
@Wolfgang - vu@granby: I am sure Bahbahra would accept the cuddle but cannot be so sure with Seifid the cat, she isnt the cuddly type
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
Bahbahra will be fine . . as long as there is no sudden movement ! The cat, of course, ignores all but the reliable realities of the cat world.

I like that the little toy bear is there, its makes the photo funny and adds interest to the shot. Well done!

A very appealing kitty shot. I like her pose and the nice job you did of capturing her hair color both light and dark. Fine picture.

She is just beautiful! I ADORE cats!
Can't wait to see the rest of Bahbahra series!
Nice shot :)

I think the cat recognises same fundamental biological differences that Bahbahra may be overlooking in her search for a mother figure. Almost the right colour but defianely the wring species hehehe Perhaps she needs a visit home to NZ to see some of her own kind. If you go back on my site there are some sheep photos perhaps whe will feel better if she sees them.

The cat dosen't seem too bothered about becoming a foster-parent.

Lovely shot like the textures of the wood and fur.

AC from NY, United States
Lovely. Very well thought of and executed snap. Like the contrast of white on brown. The expression on the cat's face isn't very accommodating!

Nice shot JJ. The cat must have a lot of patience.

Awwww. Everybody needs a hug once in awhile. Kitty doesn't look all that willing, though.

She's very brave your Bahbahra, I hope she survived this adventure ;) It's a beautiful cat, very regal and telling by her expression I don't think she wants to be a mamma :)
