I knew it had to be a Burmese or a Siamese mix. I, however, must disagree with a statement made by shumway10973: Siamese cats aren’t selfish. They are among the most attentive and loving of cats. At least, all of mine have been. I’ve had my current Siamese, Duke, for 13 1/2 years and he is the most wonderful of cats. He’s always there for any of the family, especially when someone is ill. He wants nothing more than to curl up beside us and purr.

That Disney movie is slander, I say .

A Burmese.

I laughed.

Because from first glance, I sure had kitty.

It was actually Rik Snook in the photograph that tramped the wet golf course, too far away from me in Scotland.

The picture was given to the domestic cat people, among others, no one could agree, hence the reason it was posted to Loren.

Shows to me that this group is getting good at separating the wheat from the chaff.

As with so many things, it becomes a matter of perspective and point of view. Thanks for the update, Loren.

As a photographer I know how easy it is to crop a picture and make it look completely different. In this case, cropping made the cat look huge and mainly because we had only the trees in the background for a familiar reference. We assumed the trees were bigger than they actually were.
In any case, this has been a good lesson in perspective. We should always be very careful about jumping to any conclusions when faced with any photo.
