@Japanalia: Honestly Gabriela, I think he or she was just fine until I stopped, approached and stared, it was a wee bit rude of me, hence the hiss :)
Guillermina from Buenos Aires, Argentina
I'm amazed, L.!... Absolutely love it. And if this cat's with the Grinch, all the more so!
You should do a Christmas good deed and show him in, don't you think?
14 Dec 2007 3:00pm
@Guillermina: Gee G. ;) I think that might annoy the owner, like I said poor thing was doing just fine until I interrupted the nap!!! Truly!

Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
I can never remember if black cats are supposed to be lucky or not! - I love his expression though, and the way that the red handle of the spade matches the red of the berries!
