This guy looks cute? At least the way he's looking at the camera does make him look cute. A few days back I had posted the picture of Sheru. The cat in the picture above is Baalu, Sheru's son. While Sheru is a big show-off in front of people, Baalu is very shy or may be scared of humans. About 2 years back Baalu got badly injured in a fight with the biggest villain of his life. A gray colored cat who shows up at least once a day to fight with our cats. Baalu's injury was very bad and we had to take him to a Vet. The injections that he used to get from the Vet seem to have developed a fear in him. Something that always keeps him distant from us.
The only thing that makes him come to us is food. Sheru and Baalu both really love the chicken & fish nuggets. While Sheru would stay calm even when hungry, Baalu really gets on our nerves every morning with constant meowing. He can go on and on and on until he gets his food. The above photo was shot with the camera placed on our window. I used the timer on our Canon A710 IS Digital camera to ensure there is no blurriness. Also See - Camera Critters!
Baalu reminds me of a cat we had years ago. He does look rather shy or maybe just wary...and that's understandable after getting beaten up badly.
ReplyDeleteI like your description of him meowing in the morning to get his food.
Very nice photo!
He's cute indeed:)
ReplyDeleteNice photo!
Great portrait of your shy kitty.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent shot: Baalu is making perfect eye contact with the camera. He is a beautiful cat!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! :)
ReplyDeleteHe is just such a beautiful cat. Perhaps as he grows older he will become more confident.
ReplyDeleteBaalu is a very pretty cat. He reminds me of my Ginger Tom from childhood. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame such a beautiful cat should be afraid of people. He's lovely, and I hope he becomes more friendly as time goes by.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of him and thank you to sharing his story
ReplyDeleteEveryday Mr Puddy
so pretty, what a sweetie
ReplyDeleteIn India stray cats and dogs do stay away from people...We, as a people, are not very cool with strays, I think!...something to do with purity/puja/cleanliness maybe
ReplyDeleteNice shot... Baalu looks confident in front of the camera!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! Cats sometimes give the most awesome poses!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!He will get friendly soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!
ReplyDeleteHe will get friendly soon.
Looks so calm and composed! a lot to learn from the cat :)
ReplyDeleteA friendly composure--actually these strays have so many things to share, they are so true to loving gestures- we certainly share few moments with them.
ReplyDeleteOMG! My heart sinks when I hear small animals undergoing injury and pain. Nice to hear how pet owners as you spend time and thoughts to observe their feelings and moods. And the picture absolutely matches your description. Good wishes and many more warm moments with your Sheru and Baalu!
ReplyDeletelooks at peace!
ReplyDeleteBaalu is handsome. Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute portrait.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of Baalu :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by. We love cats, right?
What a cute portrait.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteBaalu is beautiful! I'm glad he escaped from the grey cat with at least 8 of his lives. :)
ReplyDeleteHe looks sweet, and it's always possible he'll become less frightened over time.
ReplyDeleteyou much drama in his eyes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful portrait of your cat!
ReplyDeleteI am feeling so dumb that I found this blog today. Alas!!!
