A white cat that lives at the top of Patrick’s Hill, taken very near to where this was taken many years before. Lots more Life photos of Cork too. Many of recognisable locations.

Mother Cat
Filed in Animals, Blarney, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200This is Mother Cat. Matriarch of the local cats. Her litter of kittens are growing up and make a daily appearance in our garden. They’re all a little wild though. The kitten’s dad, Patches, was the polar opposite. He was friendly to us humans and loved to be rubbed and scratched behind the ear. He [...]
An (ancient?) Mini, one of the older British design, not the new fangled BMW ones that are as big as a Yaris, and of course a pussy cat watching me carefully. This was shot near Shandon Bells after we braved the heights of the tower to shoot the City of Cork. Now take your minds [...]

Saying Goodbye to Michelle
Filed in Animals, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200Michelle was my wife Jacinta’s family cat for the last 14 years.

He will tell you [...]

The Blarney Cat
Filed in Animals, Autumn, Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Sun, UrbanThe Blarney Cat Next time you’re in Blarney sit down on the benches next to Super Valu. Wait a few minutes and this cat will probably appear, especially in warm weather!
Feline eyes stare at me I love cats. There’s nothing quite as relaxing as rubbing a cat’s soft fur while he basks in the heat of the sun. Some people hate cats however and I’m non-plussed. Perhaps it’s a primal instinct in them? This is a friend’s cat as he was eating from a bowl. [...]
The cat’s in the cradle Michelle looks out from her home at the dreary wet day ahead and the annoying photographer in the doorway. A few seconds later she scampered off under the bushes but was back when I disappeared. Cats love their comfort and Michelle is no exception. She’s spoilt rotten like most house [...]
