I don’t often get to photograph any animals other than dogs….Telluride is a dog town, after all. But a few months ago a cat showed up on my aunt and uncle’s doorstep in Arizona, as cats often do (knowing exactly, it seems, where to go to find rescue). And, sure enough, he was rescued. Sort of. They don’t really want to keep him since they are both allergic….so if anyone is interested, let me know.
In the meantime, he is an outside cat during the day, but sleeps in the garage at night, in his little bed that was bought for him immediately by their daughter. He was neutered this last week and the vet thinks he is about 11 months old. He wants in the house, but sadly, that isn’t allowed. He is small….and a talker, but not one of those obnoxious talkers. He has a sweet, itty bitty meow. He is quite charming. The rest, you can see for yourself.
Here is Bandit….a bit leery of strangers as you can see. This is the first shot I took.
But he relaxed quickly, and although he seemed a bit spooked by my camera, he was also curious.
Well, enough posing. He had just finished catching a little ground squirrel before I got there, and I think he was either showing off for me, or on the lookout for another. Peek-a-boo!
I don’t know if Bandit got lost, was left behind, but he is socialized and would make a wonderful pet for someone looking for a smaller kitty who doesn’t mind a little chit chat every once in a while. They really don’t get more handsome than this…..
Thanks Bandit for the quick photo session….my fastest ever, I think! I’d be willing to transport him from Arizona to Telluride for the right home, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if interested. Until then, lets hope the coyotes stay far away, and that Bandit sleeps in his garage every night.
—-Update: Bandit’s photos were placed on a rescue site, and after about a month had found his forever home!
