My dad has recently acquired this cat, Madam Mouse, a Nikon Zf, and a Viltrox 85mm f1.8 lens. I just picked up an SD card to lightning adapter to take advantage of them all. It should also mean I’ll post here more often and fewer latergrams. I was astonished that her mouseship had no objection at all to her collar. Barely even noticed it.
Mr Crumb had his first morning out since his injury. His knee seems to be about 80% - a little stiff when he’s been lying around for a bit. He enjoyed himself so much that he climbed under a blanket and slept the next five hours.
8 weeks living in a tiny little room after surgery to fix the two ligaments he broke. He’s finally free to roam the house and is catching up. The vet was very pleased to see he was putting a certain amount of weight on the injured leg. It’s been a stressful time for all in the house. And this came so soon after he was missing for three weeks. A month indoors and then we’ll decide if we’re ever letting him go outside again.
The Boi in one of his brief spells of wakefulness. Watching lens reviews can sometimes be useful. I discovered this ttartisan 50mm f1.2 is quite a bit less sharp and contrasty focused at its minimum distance at f1.2. So stopping down to f2 makes quite a big difference when focused close like this.
Bun’s current top-favourite spot. We call it her tube.
Two cheetah brothers. In the second pic you can see the one brother calling the other down from his pedestal in his surprising cat-like high meow.
The sportiest and slinkiest. The African Cheetah. Two brothers using the way markers outside Orpen rest camp as viewpoints and scent marking them. Seeing cheetahs in Kruger is special. Seeing them clearly and close is magic.
Bunday morning.
The place we live in faces the rising sun. So morning coffee-time is one of the sunniest of the day. Bun likes this part of the house where she can hang out on my loudspeakers or on the windowsill and watch other cats safe from bullying.
Doing some technical reading on the balcony with this chonky chap. It’s the first warm weather in a good long while and he’s here for it. 27 degrees according to the weather app. No doubt there’ll be plenty more cold weather ahead. But this is a nice break. I’ve had a nasty cold for a week. Did a great show on Friday @noongunbrewery in Muizenberg. Thank goodness we do a lot of instrumentals because I couldn’t croak a note.
