Heheh...Somebody here (Impress maybe) said Slick didn't quite look like the twenty-pounder I usually refer to him as. Well, he looks it there.

Ol' fatcat.

He's clearly storing body fat for the inevitable human armageddon.

Slick looks like a real handful!
I always tell Diz what a pudding he is, because he's not the boney adolescent he was when he came to me. Good job he's a cat not a child, really.

Not appropriate to this thread because I have no pictures, but y'all lemme finish?
Good.

Took the Diz cat round to Grandad's today. It's my last day of sitting for him, the 'rents are back late afternoon tomorrow. He's always loved animals, but was never "allowed" one in the house because Nanny thought all animals were dirty and flea-ridden. When he was still ambulatory he came round here every afternoon to feed Mia (the 'rents hadn't retired then).

He loved seeing Diz. He said he had a sweet face and was a real beauty. Just because he's 87, doesn't mean he's stupid! And of course Diz is so good natured (except with other cats) that he really played up to it, jumping on and off the sofa and chairs and making himself at home. I didn't put him on Grandad's lap - what with the constant motion of his Parkinsons' and his elderly skin I didn't want to risk a patented Diz-attack on his hands. But I held him for Grandad to stroke.

Was all very lovely.

Victor competed in his first doggie practice show. He did very well and I am happy about it! Imagine trying to get a 2 year old child to stand still for one minute.

This is a magnificent beast, but he's a terrible photography subject.

His environment is a 40 gallon aquarium, with a fake floating log where he can bask under the right lamps to provide him with UVA and UVB rays, so his shell hardens correctly. So, when he is above water, he's being hit with bright lamps, from above, with a bizarre color which I find hard to correct for. There is too much yellow, obviously, but every time I attempt color correction I can't get it right. So here he is without color correction.

When he's under water, he's in a reduced light situation, which is also a rather unnatural light. He's also moving nearly 100% of the time. Auto focus lands on the outer aquarium glass half the time, and the rest of the time is searching for a moving object in low light. Flash is always too bright and creates something unnatural in an aquarium.

The subject is also surrounded by reflective glass to make everything just that more difficult.

But the most difficult problem is that I'm finding my flawed amateur shots don't communicate what I think is cool about him. He's built to survive, secretly the most badass animal in the pond. He basks in Superman formation, legs straight out and arms back to capture the heat of the midday sun. In the water he's a floating saucer, swimming by rotating his enormous rear legs like canoe paddles. He examines the world above the surface by poking just the tiny eyes and nose out, 1% of his body. His throat expands to capture a balloonful of air, and he's back diving again, good to go with the protection of the water.

This is a magnificent beast.

Turtle goes into "Superman" basking pose, rear legs out, front legs back, head stretched out. Total length nose to toe is probably 3.5" (9 cm).
