We very often have our neighbours cats come to call...checking out our bird tables and feeders, which are dotted around our property, but this little chap isn't one of them.
I know the other cats so well, wearing their white booties or little white bib, but this cat is totally black. Jet black all over.
(A lucky cat some would say...or do you think unlucky especially with Halloween just around the corner?)
He's also very lean unlike our other visitors who show that they are loved and well taken care of, with possibly copious amounts of treats...if you get my meaning?
I've concluded that this visitor is feral.
We don't see him very often, but as the afternoon sun shone on his pitch black coat, he really stood out. I loved the way the sunlight caught the hay bale too.
Maybe it's because we haven't seen the sun lately that it made such an impression on me.
So I thought I'd enter him into the My Sunday Photo linkup.
Perhaps even finding him some friends as it's Cat Week.

Thanks for visiting my place and I hope to see you again soon.
Have a great weekend everyone
He's beautiful cat and very striking sitting on top of the hay bale :-)
ReplyDeleteOh he was definitely posing Louise, obviously showing his best side in the warm sunlight! ^..^
DeleteHe looks like a very proud cat. And the perfect colouring for halloween week x Mrs A #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure he'll hang around for Halloween, but it would be cool if he did. We shall have to see...maybe if I put a few treats out for him he'd stay? ^..^
DeleteCats do love to perch, preen and pose, don't they? We have a neighbour's cat who constantly loves to come and sit on our shed roof.
ReplyDeleteWell this one certainly seems to...especially if the lighting is just right! I love the way they just decide well this is my space so don't anyone disturb me! ^..^
DeleteShe makes a lovely photo sat up on top of that hay bale.
ReplyDeleteOh now I hadn't thought of it being a her... I'd just decided it was a him! Not that I'll be able to get close enough to check either way unless he starts spraying on the hay bales! ^..^
DeleteVery beautiful - and very fitting for this time of year. He's go well with my pumpkins 😊
ReplyDeleteOh yes that feline certainly does stand out. I think it's the position he/she has adopted on the bale that makes the picture. #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteHi Neesie, I can see why the cat caught your attention, it really stands out in the sun. I think he's got his eye on you too though!

We have two black cats - love them! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteLove the image, just a cat chilling on top of a bale.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Hello, the black kitty does stand out on top of the hay bale. He probably is watching your birds at the feeders. It is a neat pose for your photo. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteHe looks quite comfy there. There are two cats in our street that pretty much own everyone. And they go absolutely crazy if a new cat strays into their territory. There was once a miaw-off on our drive that lasted well over an hour!
ReplyDeleteLike your handsome visitor. I have feral and owned cats that come to call at my place.
ReplyDeleteCool photo. So nice of him to pose on the hay bale. And he's got his eye on you too. Hugs from the Girls and I.
ReplyDeleteLooks like my Annie. I consider her lucky and I have always liked black cats. Nice shot. I'm finding they are difficult to get good photos. :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a little cutie. Funny - we just had a black kitten turn up in our front yard this week. Co-incidence?!:)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen a cat sitting on a bale of hay before - until now!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.
All the best Jan
