GALLERY OF MY MOST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS

Here you can find a wide selection of pictures showing me.  The latest pictures are on top of the page.

Only a very small percentage of the photographs on this page were already included in one of the other pages.
Most of the pictures you can see here were taken by my human, some were also taken by his father and his mother.


Welcome, honored visitors of my homepage! Here you can take a closer look at me - or more than one. Enjoy!


"Kitty goes to Hollywood":
This picture was taken when a new pet supply superstore opened in the neighborhood in June 2009. Customers were asked to bring along their pets and among other things, pets could have their picture taken. I was one of only a few cats who participated in person! That way I was able to show once more what a gifted model I am .... ready for the big Hollywood career actually, don't you think?


Sometimes my human gives me a ride on his scooter. Thus, of course, I need my own helmet, too - after all, we do not want my pretty little head to get hurt, do we?!


Here I am posing with a couple of cookies, though I prefer cheese balls or other cat treats! Do not allow the wings to deceive you - I am not a genuine angel....


My human carved a Jack-O-Lantern for Halloween. Together with a few autumn leaves and smaller pumpkins we have created our own little Halloween decoration.


However, that decoration is not perfect without a pretty black cat, don't you think?


My human is a soccer fan and I like playing paw ball with my little rubber soccer ball - and trust me, I am really good at it!

And during the 2006 World Cup I was among the spectators, as well.




Celebrating the release of the latest "STAR WARS" movie I am wearing a Darth Vader costume. Here I am posing with one of my human's collectors items, an (originally remote controlled, but no longer functional) R2D2 from 1977.


Don't the helmet and black cape suit me well?


Summer or winter, I love going outside! I don't mind rain (I like water, remember?) When the weather is too nasty my humans sometimes wrap me in a towel. Then I look a bit like a noble knight's horse.


This dog coat is much more classy, don't you think?


"Black and White": In winter my human once built a snow cat for me - well, of course I would have preferred a live, warm one!


Once it's warmer again, I can enjoy a quiet little sunbathe.


Most people think I am "cute" and looking at my pictures one might assume I am completely harmless, but you must not forget: Cats are predators!


Occasionally I think I am the Lion King!


Like all cats I believe that my home is MY property. I merely tolerate the humans (who feed me and are allowed to clean up after me), because MY HOME IS MY CASTLE!


From above I have a much better view. Which is why I love sitting on shelves etc. from time to time.


Yet it must not be too difficult to reach. I don't jump unless it cannot be avoided.


Sure, the floor can be a comfortable place, too.


The carpet was put aside for cleaning purposes and in an instant I was lying on top of it - naturally, a genuine Persian belongs with a genuine Persian!


Baskets are always a good spot for a nap - whether made from plastic....


or (even better) natural baskets.


Cats are family members just like human beings. When the table is laid I do of course assume, that it is laid for me, as well. Thus I have to check it for delicacies at least..


Open closets are incredibly attractive in my opinion. Thus when one of them is open I have to rise to the occasion and sit in it. Here I am checking out my human's mum's closet.



Whenever one of my humans sits down at the desk, less than a minite later I show up, as well to keep them company. It doesn't bother me when I'm sitting on the papers they are trying to look at....


However, I always keep an eye on things to make sure I don't miss a thing.


Sometimes there's even something of interest to me on the desk, such as this blackbird:


If a spot, that is usually occupied is suddenly vacant that's like asking me to fill that vacancy in a decorative way.


I don't usually sit on the table, but if there are flowers on the table to smell wild horses couldn't keep my away!!


Flowers in the background compliment my beauty quite nicely, don't they? That's why I love sitting next to them, in front of them, behind them, ....


Granted, some of my favorite resting places may seem a littlr weird, I have to admit that. This metal basket next to our kitchen sink was meant for plates, not cats, OK, but I love to sit in there anyway - with or without flowers in the neighborhood.



My idea of comfortable is not necesserarily identical with yours, you know....


.... well, in some cases it is: my human's bed is a great place, as well!


Fresh out of the bath tub, wrapped in a towel, of course - what a great way to take a nap!


It is quite obvious: I LOVE flowers. A beautiful cat sitting amongst pretty flowers makes an even prettier picture, doesn' it? But I do not only enjoy to rest among the flowers in the garden, as soon as my human puts a vase somewhere I lay down beneath it right away - no matter whether the flowers in that vase are natural or artificial. And trees are fun, too!










Summer or winter, inside the house or out in the open: I love sitting under trees!


Once in a while I love to go for a walk. On this picutre and the following ones you can see me exploring the garden of my human's parents:




I simply love the great wide open. A nice little nap on the terrace perhaps....


And flowers next to my "bed" - that makes things even more enjoyable! I love flowers (this and the previous picture were taken by human's mother):


Ever heard that proverb about "Buying the cat in the bag"? Well, I can assure you  - they didn't buy me in this one: 

Still, the "catbag" is very comfortable, as you can see below:





Anyway, this "cat bag" is obviously really cozy:


Of mice and me - the little mouse I am holding between my paws is one of my toys. Even when I am not playing with it, I'm holding on to it - just in case someone else might try to take it away from me (this and the following six pictures were taken by my human's dad):



OK, I confess, this is not a real mouse, just a piece of wood covered with fake grey fur, but who cares, I don't have a lot of experience with real mice anyway - so who am I to tell:


If I had passports I could use this portrait of mine for it: 



Or this one perhaps?






On the two previous pictures I have chosen the window sill in my human's mum's kitchen for my afternoon nap (taken by the mother):

And this one shows me reclining on a white pillow on my human's couch:




When I have taken a bath I usually rest in my "cubby cave" afterwards:






Fooling around on my human's bed, 
Licking my paws....



.... and sucking my fingers, almost like a human baby - sorry, in my case that's licking my claws really:


Here you can see that even this young I had already discovered one of my favorite places: the bath tub - and I love it both empty AND full!


My human has taken this picture a few days after I moved in with him. I was eight weeks old at the time:


And this photograph is part of the same series - as are the previous ones:


Sleeping in my dad's human's shopping basket together with my sister:


In this picture I was about six weeks old, sitting on dad's human's couch; now my eyes had turned green:


My first picture (I was about 3-4 weeks old), unfortunately slightly out of focus, but you can see very well that I still had all blue eyes at the time:


And here come my personalized greeting cards:

1. Santa Cat (although I'm not really a saint)




2. The Catangel 
(OK, I'm not an angel, either)



One year later we took some new pictures and as you can see: My wings had grown already!


Whenever the table is decorated I feel like I should be part of the decoration. This piece really is great fun! I like pushing the bottom part with my paw to give it a spin.



And this is my spring picture:


My home town is Munich and here we've got a fifth season: Oktoberfest. And, as you can see, my human had brought me a gingerbread heart (it says "Katerchen", German for "little tomcat") and a Bavarian hat.



OK, honored guests, that's it for today. Let's call it a night - sleep tight, don't let bed-bugs bite....
