Description:
Pookie was our black cat up until his passing this spring. He loved to sit on my posing stool and spread out his arms like a bat. He also loved to be wrestled with and his back patted as hard as could be. The more the better. Rest in peace little friend.

Fantastic capture and name. As a cat lover I have to say I adore this because it represents all the funny postures cats assume at times. :)

Great picture! I have 2 black cats & I know how difficult it is to get a good photo of them. This is fantastic & I love the pose! One of my cats looks a lot like this one except for the white on the feet. Good luck!

Oh thank you Lois. You are very gracious. After reviewing your entire site I can only say that I am flattered by your comment. Your work is beautiful and I am humbled by how much I need to learn even after 35 years as a photographer. Tom

Methune, We never had a problem getting a picture of Pookie. He was a ham of the first degree and posed whenever he had a chance. There will be more images up of him over the next month. Thanks again for the comments and good luck with your cats. Tom

Fabulous! I'm sure you miss him terribly.
Tom Buchanan replied:
Thanks Rona. Pookie had more personality in one paw than just about any other cat I have had the honour to know. What a ham he was.

So hilarious! I also love his yellow eyes and the yellow stool! Great photo!
Tom Buchanan replied:
Thank you Cristina. He was a very special fellow, indeed. We have a new black cat called Boo now and he is proving to be a real character too, although I don't think he will ever be a Pookie. Thanks again.
